Here’s 5 best romance shows from 2024 that made us swoon!

One Day on Netflix

If slow burns are your thing, then you’ll definitely like One Day on Netflix. It was great to see them being friends first and nourishing that, before becoming a couple. Dexter and Emma are also great at encouraging each other’s interests and endeavors, the definition of a healthy relationship. Fate has heartbreaking plans for them, but they still love each other through it all. If you’ve seen the movie, I think you’ll like the show more, honestly. You really can’t go wrong with One Day, it’ll give you all the feels.

Maxton Hall – The World Between Us on Prime Video

The captivating German series “Maxton Hall – The World Between Us,” streaming on Prime Video, has broken records as the top-performing international title when it debuted in May 2024. This drama revolves around two main characters, Ruby and James, who share an incredible screen presence. At its heart, this story is a love affair that will tug at your heartstrings. It’s a contemporary retelling of “Cinderella,” with the couple hailing from differing social backgrounds, facing numerous obstacles together. When they finally come together, the chemistry is undeniable. Filming for season 2 has wrapped up, and we eagerly await an official release date. We can hardly wait to see more!

Bridgerton season 3 on Netflix

Is it necessary for us to elaborate on this? The popular romance series Bridgerton, particularly Season 3, has undeniably made a significant impact. While I had some reservations about certain storytelling aspects and the pace, the relationship between Penelope and Colin was captivating. Despite the challenges presented by the Lady Whistledown secret, their love story was compelling because Colin didn’t feel complete unless Penelope didn’t rely on him for salvation. This is a unique twist as it’s often portrayed that women have this fear, but Bridgerton reversed this dynamic, which I believe is empowering. Both characters had their own insecurities, but they managed to overcome them together. We can look forward to Season 4 of Bridgerton.

My Lady Jane on Prime Video

Oh, “My Lady Jane,” truly an exceptional show from 2024 that’s sadly only had one season due to its cancellation by Prime Video. It’s a real pity because the series is captivating, innovative, and full of excitement. The highlight for many, however, has been the enchanting love story between Jane and Guildford. Their tale of enemies-to-lovers was beautifully executed, evoking emotions in all who watched. The couple’s readiness to sacrifice for each other is a testament to their deep connection, and their relationship blossoms remarkably within the few episodes provided.

Outlander season 7 on Starz

Among the most exceptional television couples, Jamie and Claire from “Outlander” certainly stand out at the top. It’s only fitting! There is simply no other pair as deeply committed to one another. Their love story has undeniably raised our expectations for romance. Despite the numerous obstacles and heartaches they face, their unwavering bond ensures that they will always find solace in each other. What I appreciate about “Outlander” is the way their relationship is portrayed; it’s never a question of whether or not they’ll be together, as it often is with on-screen romances. They’ve been through too much to ever be torn apart like that. However, they frequently face challenges from external forces and physical separation, but their heartwarming reunions always leave us swooning. And in season 7, there has been no lack of such moments.
