Your Friends & Neighbors

Don't know why the industry thinks we need more shows about awful people we could never root for, but hey here we are... And while we're here, let's enjoy this quite realistic portayal of obnoxious shallow delusional 50 year olds which in some level are your friends and neighbors unless you're really lucky in life.

The first three episodes were quite interesting and bingeable, the twists are there and the writing is balanced, also there are signs of a protagonist arc (not a very original one if it is the "a hole hits rock bottom and discovers the meaning of life after being forced to turn to crime") I can see this finding its crowd and pace for two seasons but not much further, I will be finishing the season for sure, even the worst apple tv shows are still quite good.

John hamm makes everything he's in better. From good omens to fargo to the princess bride home movie.

Same goes for hoon lee- warrior and banshee wouldn't have been the same without him.

Your friends and neighbors is a coherent and sophisticated romp through the hypocrisy and falsities of the country club elite.

I like most everything about this show. An issue i have with it is the music though. It's terrible- from the theme song to every whiny hipster ballad conclusion, i can not stand the music they choose for this show. The original orchestral compositions are fine, but whoever is picking the pop songs needs a new career.

Your Friends and Neighbors is another hit in a long line of hits for Apple TV+. No other company has a higher percentage of hits than Apple TV right now. It seems like every show they put out is great and addictive. Now, this one isn't their best show but it's absolutely worth watching. Jon Hamm is as terrific as always. His character in this actually reminds me of his best character ever in Don Draper from Mad Men. Olivia Munn (who's one of the prettiest actresses in Hollywood) and Amanda Peet also shine here. All three give some of the best performances of their careers and should have a good chance at being nominated for some awards. I do hate waiting a week between shows though, a show like this is better watched as a binge. There seems to plenty of ways the show can go to produce more seasons so I really hope they plan on doing several more seasons.

Hey, this is my first review here ever so take it with a pinch of your favorite condiment, on the other hand I hate nothing more than spoilers so read it safely.

This tv series is no different than any others, there's no chance you could please everyone and just like in life, if you read more reviews you'll find them all, great, amazing, bad, terrible and so on.

What I think this show offers, and bare with me, this is only up to episode four so far, is a bit of everything, a bit of humor, a bit of drama, a bit of unnecessary, just about as usual, now what I think makes it a great show is by delivering some great lines, if you're like me, and love a great line, you'll find plenty in this one, quite like in "Landman" where Jon is a protagonist as well, but those lines there don't come from him, but still a great watch that was, again... in my opinion.

I think those who will enjoy this show are those in mid/late 30's+ and I say that as I believe many will find themselves in one way or other in some of the scenes you'll be witness throughout the show, a bit of an emotional rollercoaster at times, but not a bad one, it's normal to feel that way, it will bring up memories, good and bad possible, especially parenting wise, it hits the spot for quite some of us with that, hence the mid/late 30's+ note.

Overall I think it will find it's own crowd.

The two above had a great run with Banshee Their edge carries over in this one Pulling in Hoon Lee as his best friend and business manager is great side kick and he always steals show with his sharp wit. Not to mention a couple of episodes with Banshee alum Matt Servitto as the shark lawyer. John Hamm carries any show he's in and is a smart choice. Trooper always finds leading women who can carry the men along and make the show complete

I doubt this will be as violent as Banshee but if it is, expect some over the top scenes as well

Olivia Munn is my favorite female lead and best surprise so far.

Love what I see so far.
