Marvel's flagship TV series, Agents Of SHIELD, is very much an ensemble show. With a team that regularly consists of at least half a dozen characters, that can make it difficult to showcase friendships and relationships amongst everyone. The writers and directors have certainly made a valiant effort, giving the audience some great chemistry and entertaining dynamics.
Some of the best duos in Agents Of SHIELD aren't romantic, but really just great partners in the field. Others have become romantic over the course of the series. Of course, there are still plenty of duos fans wish the series could have had just a little more time with before it ended with seven seasons.
10 Best: Coulson And May
Phil Coulson and Melinda May have been friends since their Academy days in the '90s. That means, even when the show opens, they know one another better than most of the team.
That also means the two have a kind of shorthand played perfectly by actors Ming-Na Wen and Clark Gregg that doesn't involve words. The characters can have entire conversations with a simple look, and they aren't afraid to give one another constructive criticism in the field. The audience also gets to see the two finally pursue a relationship right before Coulson's borrowed time ran out.
9 More: Fitz And Hunter
Hunter adds a needed bit of levity in season two and three as the drama begins to go into overdrive. It's a shame his time on the show was so shortlived.
Fans get a glimpse of what might have been with the season five episode "Rewind" when Hunter breaks Fitz out of prison, proving that time travel and government prisons can't keep the two friends apart. The audience would have loved to see these two get into more misadventures.
8 Best: Daisy And Simmons
From the very beginning, Simmons welcomes Daisy to SHIELD with open arms. The two are very different people, but find common ground in their "bad girl shenanigans" in the first season. They've only bonded more since then.
Every wedge that's been driven between them (Simmons working undercover at Hydra, Daisy first manifesting Inhuman abilities, Simmons ending up on an alien planet, Daisy leaving, the two arguing about Fitz in space) has only served to solidify their sisterhood further in the end.
7 More: Davis And Piper
Davis makes his debut as an unnamed agent in the first season while Piper doesn't join the show until later. They have both recurred right up until the end.
There is nothing Davis and Piper won't bicker about. They argue about who can better get through a locked door when held prisoner without actually getting through the door! All that arguing hides the friendship underneath as Piper is devastated when Izel uses Davis to prove a point in season six, leaving fans wondering if Davis' SHIELD partner is now Aunt Piper to the family he leaves behind.
6 Best: Coulson And Daisy
These two don't actually go out on missions together often during the run of the series since Coulson is, more often than not, the man on intercoms back on the plane. Still, Coulson and Daisy give one another the one thing they desperately need in the series: family.
With Coulson not having kids and Daisy not growing up with a family of her own, they become the closest thing they have to family. Coulson helps Daisy find a home in SHIELD and Daisy helps Coulson care about more than the job.
5 More: Simmons And Deke
The later seasons see Fitz and Simmons discover that Deke is their grandson from a very specific timeline in which the Kree take over what's left of the planet. While Fitz isn't thrilled with the idea, Simmons doesn't run from it.
She embraces Deke as family, even reprimanding him like a parent at times. Deke still calls her "Nana" even though the two appear to be about the same age. They understand one another's science and genuinely care about one another, but their moments together are fleeting with so many other things going on.
4 Best: May And Elena
When Elena first joins the series as a new Inhuman, plenty of fans probably thought she would be bonding most with Daisy. While the two do connect over their Inhuman heritage, it's May that she seems to form the strongest friendship with.
May and Elena are not touchy-feely people. They prefer action instead of talk. The two also quickly get frustrated when the people around them take too long to formulate a plan. Sticking the two of them together more often in the final season of the show is a win-win for fans.
3 More: Daisy And Bobbi
Like Lance Hunter, there just isn't enough Bobbi Morse in the show. The audience gets an introduction to her as a Hydra agent that proves she's adept undercover, and eventually, she and Daisy get a few moments together in the field.
Bobbi providing Daisy with a quarantine survival kit when she first uncovers her Inhuman heritage and then trying to convince SHIELD agents not to harm her, is the first hint of them becoming friends. When they team up in Russia in the third season, fans think they're in for a new dynamic in the field, but Bobbi departs the show shortly after, leaving fans without another female friendship.
2 Best: Fitz And Simmons
Fitz and Simmons operate so fluidly in the early days of the show that they are like one entity. Though Fitz is engineering and Simmons is biochem, they understand one another's fields and build on one another's work seemingly effortlessly. They are not, however, simply good for one another in a lab.
They learn to work together in the field - and even grow when they're forced to separate from one another. Fitz and Simmons also have what might be the most epic of love stories in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. By the end of the series, they are in a vastly different place than they are at the start, but still the perfect pair. With the always stellar dramatic performances by Iain de Caestecker and Elizabeth Henstridge, they are the heart of the team dynamic.
1 More: Mack And Sousa
In the final season of the show, the writers threw a curveball to the audience - adding Agent Carter character Daniel Sousa in a recurring role. Time travel makes everything possible.
Most of Sousa's scenes are spent in Daisy's company as two develop feelings for one another. Mack, despite being the current director of SHIELD, doesn't get to spend a ton of time around the SSR agent. Seeing Mack shift to big brother mode to protect Daisy's heart, only to have a laugh with Sousa, is enough to tease the camaraderie between the two could have ben so much more.
