Spending Valentine’s Day with your cats like Angela from “The Office” or rounding up your besties for some quality time like Leslie from “Parks and Recreation”? There’s no wrong way to celebrate on Feb. 14, but watching your favorite female-focused TV episodes seems like the ideal way to spend the evening.
Your binge-friendly evening in comes complete with these episodes where female friendships reign supreme (chocolates not included).
“Parks and Recreation”
Episode: “Galentine’s Day” (season 2, episode 16)
Give credit where credit is due this Valentine’s and raise a glass to Leslie Knope — the inventor of Galentine’s Day — while you stream an episode dedicated to the unofficial holiday. This one sees Leslie reunite her mom with a former lover and it (obviously) doesn’t go as planned.

“Broad City”
