Re: Is writing female friendships hard?

[(Anonymous)]

AYRT - Not watching a lot currently, but the show I had in mind was Brooklyn Nine-Nine, where the male characters are close but the female characters seem to have a sort of frenemy thing going on. (Although Rosa did ask Amy and Gina to be her Maids of Honor.) I also recently watched 30 Rock, and for a feminist show, not to mention a show based around a show called "The Girly Show", the only female friend Liz has is Jenna, and Jenna is too narcissistic to be an actual friend. Among other shows where the female friendships are either there but very shallow, or just not there at all.

I will say Buffy and Parks and Rec are two exceptions.

NAYRT - to be fair, with regards to 30 Rock, it's a show that (a) focuses pretty closely on Liz as the emotional center of the show and (b) hardly takes any of its relationships seriously in emotional terms.

Like, pretty much the only relationships on the show that are really taken seriously at all are Liz's friendship with Jack and her friendship with Jenna. That's a case, I would argue, where it's just that emotional friendship is not central to the show's arc generally.

AYRT - Yeah, you have a point, and in fairness, the show also features a doctor ("Dr. Spaceman") who is so incompetent IRL he'd probably drown in malpractice lawsuits, so... maybe I shouldn't have used that as an example, since really, it's not focusing on realistic relationships.

In Brooklyn 99 it is less a frenemy thing and more the female characters just have very different personalities. Rosa and Amy mostly get on fine, but Amy is an over-sharing over-achiever, and Rosa is private person who wants to advance but in a more realistic way and has specific goals in mind rather than Amy's do-everything. Gina is an asshole, but she is pretty much the female comic relief character who gets to act unrealistically sociopathically for laughs.

And also, they're in love.

Uh, don't Rosa and Gina kind of have frenemy relationships with everyone, though?
