That doesn't stop me though from speaking my mind. I like versitality, it would be boring if every show was the same. This is the longest review I've written in a while which shows I thought about this show a lot. Had I watched the first season first I would stopped there and then.

And I punished myself a little bit because I went out and bought the whole series at once. I could drop in a couple of episodes here and there. Let's be honest: continuity, logic and depth of story were not the trademarks of Friends. Sometimes reading the synopsis was as interesting as the actual episode. It's like having a radio playing in the background. you don't have to stop it if the phone rings, you can even skip an episode completely. You don't have to pay close attention to the plot, f.e. And I mean that in the true sense of the word. So, why did I watch, and even complete, it ? It's simple. And what is wrong with building up an emotional moment and going through with it instead of ruining it with a bad joke ? It even ruined jokes by starting to early. I couldn't connect with them and was more interested in what guest stars might turn up next.Īnd what it is anyway with all the girls need to find guys to marry and get babies and the guys needing to score? It is a good thing there wasn't any social media available because with all those gay and trans jokes there would have probably been a lot of heat. Alltogether there was little character developement in any of them. Until that she was honest in that she didn't care what others thought about her and just made her thing. Phoebe I liked until she, too, got the I-need-to-marry virus.

Monica went from "I don't care" through "I kinda like her" but ultimately annoying. I don't even know what to say about Chandler because he is that bland. Joey was funny at first but that wears out fast once you get past 50 episodes. That constant back and forth, the bickering and their pretensious behaviour is so annoying. They pull down every episode they're in which is pretty much every episode. And there is WAY too much of him and Rachel who I also disliked deeply. I've written in some episode's comment that Ross is the most obnoxious character I've ever seen on TV.

There are those moments where there behave like friends should, but those come usually after they screwed up. I don't see where it is funny to go behind your friends backs. They constantly try to withhold stuff and most of the comedic situations spawn from that. Those are the most dishonest, selfish, egoistic and sometimes even mean group of people I've seen on TV. But most of the stuff I dislike has nothing to do with timeframe.įirst, why this is called Friends is beyond me.

Maybe it isn't fair to judge it 25 years after the fact because that is a long time in TV land and things change. It's not even the best sitcom in my opinion. I am one of those who doesn't think that this is THE best show ever. If you like it I'm glad for you (really) but please allow me my opinion. I know most people don't respond well if you say something negative about their favorite show but I can't help it.
