Season 1 Review: The script, when it's going for laughs, is absolutely riotous. The scenes taking place in the frat-boy bullpen at Lisa's new hedge fund office—favorite on-going prank: during conversations with SEC compliance officers, they mute their end of the call, then drop trou and rub their junk on the phone—are pee-your-pants hilarious.

Season 1 Review: Creators Francesco Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller rely too often on their performers' sketch-comedy and sitcom experience to craft amusing situations that seem natural even at their most ridiculous. But no amount of charisma can revitalize the season as it ambles toward its finale, bloated with so many gags that it unravels like old friendships strained to their breaking point. Read full review

Season 1 Review: Friends From College is largely uncomfortable to watch, although when it’s funny, it can be brilliant. The show’s biggest crime is that it overestimates its audience’s tolerance for watching people screw up. Read full review

Season 1 Review: A promising generational sitcom that might have had something to offer its target audience of middle-aged folks raised on Friends but squanders all of our interest with mirthless, misguided strategies for holding it. The only spectacle it offers is the shocking magic trick of turning a bright, dazzling cast into a bunch of dim bulbs. Read full review

Season 1 Review: While it’s the type of series that seems like it will click instantly, the result is shallow and grating. Episodes rely on cheap jokes that feel outdated (an obsession with poking at Twilight) or too cringeworthy and crude to be funny (a hedge-fund bro using his genitals to control a speakerphone).

Season 1 Review: Friends From College is not very good, not very good at all. It wastes the great cast, and even makes them irritating with lame slapstick, lazily written gags, and awkward attempts at drama. After a few episodes, I began to find all of them unbearable. Read full review

Season 1 Review: The only explosion in Friends from College is that the entire eight-episode series is a stink bomb. It's crude, predictable and stupid. Read full review

La historia se centra en Ethan y Lisa, quienes se mudan a New York y con ellos pueden completar su círculo íntimo de la Universidad. Lo que trae una complicación porque Ethan durante todo su matrimonio tuvo un amorío con Sam, un miembro de ese grupo.
La serie cuenta con elementos muy interesantes, donde exhiben cómo el grupo se sostiene en una mentalidad que no congenia con su edad real, y como eso tiene efectos con los terceros en sus vidas.
Una gran problemática es que en esta comedia medio grupo se siente demás, pueden contribuir en la comedia pero en la trama general no aportan nada. Además hay que mencionar que el humor es escaso y muy visto.
Si buscas un sitcom como "Friends" o "How I met your mother" ésta no lo es, tiene un drama muy pretencioso y el humor es inconsistente. Al ser corto vale la pena arriesgarse para saber si eres público de éste show, pero creo que el margen es muy chico.… Expand
