Friends from College

I loved this show. I can't believe it got canceled.

Frankly, I'm shocked that others here don't share my very high regard for this series. I also found it hilarious.

I'm 10 years older than the characters, but I spent my 30s as part of a "friend group" in New York and the show rang totally true for me. We weren't all authors, actors, lawyers, or just rich, it's true, but every series set in NYC has those types of characters, because otherwise the poor quality of real lives there would detract from the entertainment value.

I thought the show very nicely turned some tropes and clichés on their heads, maybe recycled a few, maybe might have avoided some, but the ensemble really makes it work.

I suspect there are trolls in these woods.

I struggle to understand why critics don't enjoy this comedy as much as I do. One criticism I've heard is that none of the characters are nice people and are therefore unlikable. I disagree, there isn't a character in it I don't like, yes most of them do questionable things, make bad decisions or act inappropriately, but it makes the great television. If they were all nice people we'd end up with something annoyingly sickly sweet like This Is Us. The comedy is dry/dark but I love this programme and I really hope the more people watch it and it gets a third series

Liked season 1, loved season 2, binge watched it last night and I was hysterically laughing throughout every episode. I don't understand the bad reviews? The entire cast was great. Quick and witty.

My God I never write reviews for series but just finished season two and it is SO GOOD! Haven't laughed this hard in ages... very good writing and the actors also do a great job. Unexpected success!
