#1 Dark Matter, Season 2
4.6

The marriage between Jason and Daniela becomes a central dramatic engine, and several reviewers consider that domestic tension more compelling than the technology itself.

Cons: release schedule, dialogue quality

#2 Hacks, Season 5
4.5

The romantic side plots are mostly secondary, but at least one critic finds the characters’ romantic crises genuinely funny and effective.

Pros: plot originality, episode structure

Cons: season length, realism

3.0

Romance is highly mixed: some critics enjoy organic chemistry and earned beats, while others find the central triangle predictable, underheated, forced, or lacking spark.

Pros: episode structure, season finale quality

Cons: season length, character consistency

#9 Ricky Gervais Alley Cats

Pros: realism, cultural representation

Cons: plot clarity, acting quality

#10 The Gentlemen, Season 2
2.3

The Eddie-Bella romance is a recurring weakness, often described as rushed, underdeveloped or unconvincing. A minority view finds Bella a fitting match, but Eddie and Susie’s connection draws far stronger...

Pros: finale satisfaction, character consistency

Cons: screenplay quality, release schedule
