1) Jane and Maura on Rizzoli & Isles

Maura and Jane, in my opinion, have the best womance going on TV today. Their relationship is very complicated. They are best friends, colleagues at work, and Jane's mom lives in Maura's guest house since her separation from her husband.

Maura has all the traits necessary to be a great medical examiner – she is detail oriented, thorough, and very smart. Jane, on the other hand, frequently gets frustrated by Maura's adherence to detail and unwillingness to commit to a conclusion without hard facts. Speculation is not something Maura does. This makes their working relationship fraught with snark on Jane's part. Maura, for her part, remains calm despite all the remarks tossed her way.

Their relationship outside work is also complicated. Maura comes from a very wealthy family, and is used to high society. Jane comes from a working class background, and is much more, for lack of a better term, down to earth. Maura is always impeccably dressed, whereas Jane prefers more comfortable and practical clothing.

Despite all this, they would each sacrifice their life for the other!
