Friends from College

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

People keep saying the characters aren't likable...but neither are a lot of people in real life. When you think about it, we all know a cheater or someone who refuses to grow up. It's an easy to watch show, with a few giggles and some tears. I got through it quickly so I must have thought it was decent enough to entertain me for a few hours. I'm even looking forward to another season. Not the best show but I didn't expect it to be.

I love this series- its so good! I disagree with the critics- the characters are relatable and if i wanted to watch something where all the people are perfect I'd watch reruns of Full House. Season 2 is equally funny/better than season 1 with plenty of laugh out loud moments. Only criticisms are that they made us wait a year for 8 (HALF HOUR) episodes! Realllllly hope season 3 comes sooner

Funny, awkward and easy to watch. Highly recommend! Bring on Season 3!!!
