Review
Jack Seale
It’s a relic now, with TV having made efforts to move on from bright sitcoms about comfortable white people, and comedies of any kind struggling to match the global reach of the 1990s’ biggest hits. But Friends brought millions of people joy not because conditions were in its favour, but because it was so well written, constructed and performed: these six characters are six of the best in comedy history.
And with 236 episodes available, it’s a treasure you can mine at will whenever you need cheering up.
