So why is it so hard to find on television? It’s important to show close relationships between men and women that never lead to sex. Men and women can be friends, it happens every day. Give us shows where the male and female leads love and trust each other without the endgame being the two of them in bed together. In the same vein, not every relationship needs to be romantic, either. Few shows have given us an OT3 to compete with Leverage‘s Eliot, Parker, and Hardison, but The 100‘s Bravenlarke has the potential to get there. People love each other in an innumerable variety of ways we should get to see more than one or two of those represented on television. We want to see relationships between LGBT+ people, we want to see polyamorous people, we want to see couples who’ve been married for 20 years and are still crazy about each other. What better way to reinforce that idea than to incorporate it into our favorite shows? Show us a spectrum of healthy, functional relationships! It’s 2016, and thankfully society is coming around to the idea that people should be allowed to love whoever they want. With the new season of Fall TV approaching, I’ve put together the five TV tropes I’d like to see more of this year, and the five that I never want to see again! Tropes we want more of 1. Some tropes are written willfully, some happen as a matter of circumstance, some make us squeal with excitement, and others can completely ruin our enjoyment of a television show. All media we consume is filled with tropes, especially television.
