There is just something about Rogen’s nice Canadian Jewish boy shtick that works well with Byrne’s repressed party-girl sensibility. And the duo’s odd-but-not-really couple chemistry is made all the better when the actress is allowed to use her natural Australian accent. Read full review

As terrific they [Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen] are, the script and the direction match their talents and challenge them. Just be prepared to binge all three episodes and be eagerly await more to come. Read full review

Platonic doesn’t break any molds, but it’s nice to see another example of a breezy comedy that’s not afraid to let its characters be human and even unlikable at times. Read full review

It is not quite the platonic ideal of a modern buddy comedy – some episodes are a bit baggy and drain momentum, although it always picks back up – but it’s close. Read full review

Platonic mainly serves as a showcase for the considerable rapport between its leads, both of whom are clearly having a blast razzing each other like sarcastic siblings. Read full review

Platonic works best as a character study of two people who just get one another, major flaws and all. But as a great comedic series, it’s ultimately less satisfying or thought-provoking than one would hope. Read full review

It’s left with the worst of both worlds: neither the laughs of the former nor the insight of the latter. Two unpleasant people hanging out can be a good TV show. (Rest in power, “Difficult People.”) “Platonic” just isn’t. Read full review

AppleTV+ continues its streak of excellence with this comedy about two middle aged BFF’s reconnecting after a falling out many years ago.

Was this written by 1,000 monkeys at the 1,000 typewriters and they used the first draft? Add to that Seth Rogen can't act. It is irredeemable.

Unfunny, poorly written, poorly acted. Seth Rogen continues his streak of failures and Apple continues their streak of low quality releases.
