Indeed One of the Greatest sitcom!
It was the most relatable sitcom,The 90s era was beautifully captured and on top of that as a sitcom it was funny as hell,It had the greatest ensemble of cameos ever in tv, The intro was catchy,It had most unique situations with the different kind of charcters and great actors, each character was on the league of their own, Monica like elder to all,rachel's like rich room-mate,ross was all nerd/brains,joey with little dumb and much fun,chandler as a sarcastic one and the unique of them all phoebe, individually they are awesome characters and the chemistry between the 6 was undescribable. The jaince was the most amazing fun/hateble character ever in sitcom,every apperance of her was a surprise, gunther and everyone's family members was good as side charcters and mike at last 2 season blends well with the 6, the story with all the plots ranging from starting to end of show and in between were brilliantly written, although the flasback sequence episodes were dull, the plot of ross and rachel was roller-coaster, and the last season really pulled a perfection it was the most satisfying end of the show.

I've watched friends twice now and I can conclude that I have wasted a lot of time, I was a fool to watch this show twice. Its unrealistic, unnatural and filled with bad jokes. The humor in this show is just an illusion of comedy. If you lookI've watched friends twice now and I can conclude that I have wasted a lot of time, I was a fool to watch this show twice. Its unrealistic, unnatural and filled with bad jokes. The humor in this show is just an illusion of comedy. If you look back at all your favorite jokes in fact all jokes, they are just a lazy attempt to bring joy to the viewer and it fails in that so the 'laugh tracks' literally tell you when to laugh. It feels like the show just cant come up with good jokes and to cover them up they came up with laugh tracks, remove these laugh tracks and listen to the jokes and you will realize how bad they actually are. Overall friends is a pathetic excuse of a funny TV show, boring plot, unrealistic events, annoying characters. Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Friends is one of the best comedy series, but the problem is the lack of gay and black characters being all white and straight characters, I think the series has a problem making lots of homophobic jokes, aside from the macho side (which is no small thing) from the series.

Good summary: An emotional but funny story about six best friends trying to have successful happy lives in New York City.
Bad summary: Six straight white people whine about their relationships and betray each other before ultimately forgiving each other for dumb reasons.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Friends was blatantly put, a good series. A couple good genuine laughs here and there added the homey feeling intertwined with what felt like real relationships built between the viewer and the characters made it sad to say goodbye to this series at the finale. There were a couple 'boring' episodes but I didn't expect every episode to be a masterpiece so I generously give this series an eight out of ten. Expand

I have nothing against sit-coms in general, as long as they are funny. In America, there is Frasier and Will & Grace, in Britain, there is Only Fools and Horses and Last of the Summer Wine, they are great sit-coms. There was a time when II have nothing against sit-coms in general, as long as they are funny. In America, there is Frasier and Will & Grace, in Britain, there is Only Fools and Horses and Last of the Summer Wine, they are great sit-coms. There was a time when I didn't like Friends very much, then again it was also at a time when I wasn't into sit-coms. My brother and sister, who absolutely adore the show suggested I should try the show again, so I did. Well, my initial reaction of the show was wrong, this show is great, it is funny and smart with appealing characters. It is by far one of the better American sit-coms and I do think it is better than Everybody Loves Raymond.

First and foremost, I love the theme song. It may get on some people's nerves, but I find it irresistibly catchy, memorable and fun, with a simple melody and nice lyrics that are relevant.

I also love how funny and smart Friends is. Some of the episode titles alone are hilarious and clever. That reminds me when I see and review When Harry Met Sally, maybe the title of the review should be "The One With the Scene in the Diner". Along with this the writing is consistently funny, with some wit and intelligence and very rarely becomes clichéd and cringe worthy. I even like the plot lines, I don't find them boring, predictable perhaps occasionally but the funny situations that the characters get into make them absorbing and worthwhile.

The direction is also really solid, and the photography and scenery are striking.

I love the characters, they are unique and engaging, even with their flaws they manage to be likable. Rachel does have moments when she is spoilt, but she is also the epitome of sweetness. I know there are people who have problems with Jennifer Aniston, the thing is I don't and I find her at her prettiest and most appealing here. Monica is another strong character, not the funniest by all means, but because she is almost like a maternal figure to the other characters with her caring and sympathetic attitude. I loved how Courtney Cox portrayed her. Phoebe is my favourite female character, she is hilarious; I especially love her songs, they are the sort of songs that are so bad they are great. Lisa Kudrow couldn't have been the more perfect choice for her, she pulls off Phoebe's personality to perfection.

Joey is stupid admittedly, but I love him anyway because he is also cool. I am not a huge fan of Matt LeBlanc, but he is really good as Joey. Matthew Perry is great as Chandler, who is like a clownish and sarcastic sort of character, who makes jokes that are almost as bad as Phoebe's songs, but he is still a likable character in his own right. Ross is deliciously neurotic, I constantly love his priceless facial expressions and David Schwimmer's delivery is absolutely perfect.

There have also been some wonderful guest stars, Elliot Gould as Jack Geller, Gary Oldman(who I really like in films like Dracula and Immortal Beloved) as Richard Crosby, Michael McKean and Danny DeVito as a stripper who arrives at a party in a policeman's outfit, all but to name a few. Overall, I love this show, not only for the writing but for the characters. 10/10 Bethany Cox

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Very great multidimensional character arcs and very funny but also sometimes serious moments. The figures represent a lot of different people thinking back to the 90s where white guys usually were the main cast of a television series. The Ross Rachel drama is also one of the best written and interesting TV-lovestories of all time, even though i get it that some might get annoyed by it, or Ross which i can’t understand even though hearing it very often. There are some running gags which are still funny. Overall a good aged tv series and definitely my favourite of all time. Expand

'Friends' sin duda es de las mejores series de TV de todos los tiempos. Me costo empezar a verla pero apenas empecé no pare nunca de ver los episodios, vi uno atras del otro. La serie cuenta una historia super basica de unos amigos, pero eso es lo hermoso del show. Los chistes son muy buenos ( es verdad que cansan cuando los repiten tanto), los actores/actrices son espectaculares y los escenarios y ropa mas! La serie sabe hacerte conectar y dejarte ser parte de ese grupo de amigos..

Sentis que vivís cada dia con ellos y es genial porque vez la verdad de vivir con amigos, los momentos buenos y malos. Es una aventura de la cual te hacen parte. Sin duda voy a verla devuelta, una y otra vez por que no solo me hace reír cuando estoy triste pero porque tambíen son mi grupo de amigos.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of my fav. shows of all time. Few minor things like Phoebes dad only appeared in 1 episode and was pretty much never spoken of again. Her birth mom was around for a few episodes and then she to was written off without explanation. I saw this weekly when it first came out in the 90's as a teen and I can tell you now that at the time, the Joey and Rachel love angle was so bad received that it only lasted a few episodes. But in the end, we all got what we wanted. Ross & Rachel. Expand

Every other show seems to be too cheesy, or too sad, but Friends is the perfect match for them all. The TV show FriendsIt has always been hard for me to find a show where I can just sit on the couch and laugh, cry, and feel all the emotions. Every other show seems to be too cheesy, or too sad, but Friends is the perfect match for them all. The TV show Friends has 10 seasons, and 236 episodes to offer this gives the opportunity for the viewers to feel as if they are really friends with this group of friends. The writers do a spectacular job of keeping the audience on their toes with a plot that is constantly changing. Another great thing about this tv show is how relatable it is. The characters go through various experiences that the viewers are able to relate to. Overall, if you are looking for a show that will leave your stomach hurt from laughing, and your eyes burning from crying this is the perfect show for you. Expand

Special mention should be made of the chameo performances by many stars. Sadly one is no longer with us. The amazing and talented Robin Williams, whom I admire very much. A great and incredibly talented actor of our modern times. Also, in New York there is now a "Friends Experience" (The Friends Experience, 130 E 23rd St, New York, NY 10010, United States), a must for all true fans of the series! Although the series was not filmed in New York. AWESOME! BRAVO, BRAVO, BRAVO! Expand
