Jessica Pearson and Harvey Specter - Suits

We know an icon when we see one, and Jessica Pearson fits the bill perfectly. She is the Managing Partner at Pearson Specter, a powerful board room executive, an inspiring leader, all in impeccable style and sass. With her eagle eye for spotting talent, she takes Harvey under her wing and transforms him into the impressive and unbreakable lawyer he is.

Even after she moves on from the firm, her unfailing bond with Harvey is one to admire. Catch Suits only on Colors Infinity.

Harvey Specter and Mike Ross - Suits

Harvey Specter, lawyer extraordinaire, takes a chance on brilliant Mike Ross despite his sketchy background of running in with the law, which turned out as everyone's favourite formidable legal team. Between their witty movie quote banter and unending loyalty to each other, their bromance won our hearts from the very first episode! Harvey's no-nonsense approach to his work transforms Mike into a force to be reckoned with at the firm. Meanwhile, Harvey is softened by his genuine friendship with Mike; watching the two influence each other for the better is truly heart-warming. Don't tell us we were the only ones crying when Mike asked Harvey to be his best man at his wedding!

Professor and Tokyo - Money Heist

The calculating and mysterious mastermind 'Professor' had us on the edge of our seats as he cleverly took the police on a joyride while his carefully curated trainees robbed the Royal Mint. Tokyo, one of the robbers, is at the centre of the heist and shares a very special relationship with the professor. Before being headhunted as a professional criminal, she was on the run, potentially looking at being incarcerated for life. The professor swoops in and saves her from a lonely and bleak life, giving her a mission and a team of comrades. She often refers to him as her 'Guardian Angel' and in return, she executes his deceptive plans to perfection, well, with a few blunders too.

Walter White and Jesse Pinkman - Breaking Bad

Chemistry intellect Walter White and former student Jesse Pinkman join hands to run an illicit drug operation, ultimately deeply entangling their lives in a relationship that ranges from beautiful to deeply manipulative. Walter White is the catalyst for all that happens in Jesse's life. Pinkman's complicated past makes morally questionable White appear as a father figure of sorts, even though they were tied together by cooking and selling crystal meth. Their business eventually escalates into a massive operation and ruins their lives in the process, but they stick together for the majority of the part. Their relationship is complicated and toxic, but it provides some semblance of companionship and support to two very clearly disturbed individuals.

Michael Scott and Dwight Schrute - The Office

Office manager Michael Scott truly lucked out with a man as dedicated as Dwight Schrute. Constantly bending over backwards to impress and serve Michael, Dwight went as far as referring to Michael as "the one person I have been hired to protect". Unfortunately, his many pleas are met with irritation and neglect. Nevertheless, the duo is endlessly entertaining as Dwight actively participates in all of Michael's antics, making this comedic pairing an especially memorable and inspiring one!
