Girlfriends (Seasons 1–8)

Girlfriends (2000–2008) is an American comedy-drama series you can watch online on iFILM. Created by Mara Brock Akil and produced for UPN and later The CW, it ran for eight seasons and 172 episodes — one of the longest-running sitcoms with a predominantly Black cast in US television history.

The show centers on four women in Los Angeles: attorney Joan Clayton, street-smart Maya Wilkes, free-spirited Lynn Searcy, and fiercely ambitious Toni Childs. Tracee Ellis Ross, Golden Brooks, Persia White and Jill Marie Jones play the quartet across dating disasters, career pivots, marriages, divorces, and the low-key drama of staying close when life keeps pulling you apart. The writing treats their friendship as something real — fraying under pressure, never quite breaking.

Girlfriends launched Tracee Ellis Ross well before Black-ish and holds a loyal fanbase decades after its finale. Stream all seasons of Girlfriends online on iFILM.
