Always funnier to talk about things we dislike.
But to keep things happy, happy, happy : Madmartigan and Sorsha.
Well, it kinda involves the use of some weird fairy's drug but who cares right?

Anakin and Padme were given good chemistry in Clone Wars. One of the many things that show managed to salvage when it comes to the prequels.
Great:
Sam Malone and Diane Chambers on Cheers
Cliff and Claire Huxtable on The Cosby Show
John and Olivia Walton on The Waltons
Samantha and Darren (#1) Stevens on Bewitched
Rob and Laura Petrie on The Dick van Dyke Show

Yeah Rowling has changed her mind a lot over the years about who should have been with whom, though in the books it's pretty clear to me that the characters ended up with the right person, many of the fights between Ron and Hermione get overblown and at the time that they happened the characters were only like 13 or so and neither realized that they were in love until the end of the series...as for Harry and Ginny it was built up over the time, nothing outright however I don't see it as having come from out of nowhere, it just built until it popped up in the 6th book and took Harry by surprise, though Ginny never stopped liking him, the movies certainly did the couples no justice...
For a dark horse good one from a particular franchise... Lois and Clark from Smallville.
I like most other versions of the characters, but I’d argue one of the few consistently good things about the last few seasons of Smallville was Lois and Clark... largely because Erica Durrance turned out to be a complete natural at blending a screwball romantic comedy dynamic into anything else that was going on in the show, and she actually had a pretty good acting rapport with Tom Welling even when he wasn’t necessarily impressing anyone. The last season is arguably a strong argument for why a Lois who knows who Clark is and is in a committed relationship with him can still be a blast juts in terms of ensemble impact.
I know Lois and Clark was sold on the dynamic itself, but I kind of think that Smallville wound up doing it better.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
Grimm - Monroe and Rosaliee
They actually had a full story arc over the series and showed to me that people that balk at letting people not get connected as wrong and possibly weak writers.
It's time to put the Moonlighting curse to bed.
Not the worst, but I feel like this is an unpopular take: I just don't see what Troi sees in Riker. They're lovely parents, but the road to get there wasn't all that convincing. To me, they're just two people who dated and came out of it deciding they should just stay as very good friends. There's no shame in that.

In a subversion, Bumblebee has Charlie and Memo being propped up as a couple, and it's soon clear that it's actually pretty one-sided, to the point where Charlie just flatly tells Memo to hold up there. It's not "bad" chemistry, just a different kind of chemistry -- they're good together, just as friends, and he respects that. But even the rejection doesn't seem forced, since it's been pretty consistent throughout the film. (like, that approach by itself already made the movie 80% more mature than the other Bayformer movies)

Why would you ever think the actors on an ongoing show would say anything different? Unless one is trying to get off the show they are ALWAYS going to save positive things about the show and each other. Its only later after shows have been cancelled that you ever hear the truth. Sometimes its still the same but sometimes its not. For instance David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson always said glowing things about each other in interviews but after they'd had both left the X-Files the truth about how they didn't really get along started to come out. They put bygones aside for seasons 10 and 11 many years later but it was still just a professional relationship for a paycheck.
Fair enough if you thought so. I thought they sold the affection when it was called for, the teasing rang true to what people who care for each other will do, and they were given moments to talk about important stuff. But that's me.
Suppose it could be debated if it was a definitive "no" or a "it might happen someday, but not right now." Still, agreed that it was written pretty well and the actors sold it.
Doctor Strange: "You are the right person to replace Logan."
X-23: "I know there are people who disapprove... Guys on the Internet mainly."
