Celebrate National Girlfriend Day: Watch Binge-Worthy Shows
It’s National Girlfriend Day—and honestly, what better time to celebrate the shows that remind us how powerful sisterhood can be?
Whether you’re staying in for some much-needed rest or having a girls’ night in, these series are perfect for honoring the women who keep us grounded and lifted at the same time.
Living Single (Fox, now on TV One)
First up, the OG of Black girl friendship. Set in Brooklyn, this 90s classic follows four friends navigating love, work, and life with humor and heart. Khadijah held it down with purpose, Max kept us laughing, and together, they made us feel seen.
Girlfriends (UPN, now streaming)
Next, we can’t skip Joan, Toni, Maya, and Lynn. Their friendship was far from perfect—but that’s what made it real. From career highs to friendship lows, this show reminded us that growing together sometimes means growing apart.
Insecure (HBO Max)
Then came Issa and Molly. Their journey was raw, messy, and beautiful. While their friendship was tested, the love always remained. Insecure gave us poetry, real talk, and unmatched vibes.
Sistas (BET+)
If you’re craving drama with a heartbeat, Sistas delivers. Tyler Perry’s series follows five women who face relationship chaos but somehow stay loyal to each other. Their group chat alone deserves an Emmy.
First Wives Club (BET+)
Finally, when life falls apart, ride-or-dies show up. These women leaned on each other after betrayal and came back stronger. It’s funny, fierce, and full of glow-ups.
So today, text your girls. Watch an episode (or three). And celebrate the ones who never let you walk alone.
Happy National Girlfriend Day!
