Friends from College

Frankly, I'm shocked that others here don't share my very high regard for this series. I also found it hilarious.

I'm 10 years older than the characters, but I spent my 30s as part of a "friend group" in New York and the show rang totally true for me. We weren't all authors, actors, lawyers, or just rich, it's true, but every series set in NYC has those types of characters, because otherwise the poor quality of real lives there would detract from the entertainment value.

I thought the show very nicely turned some tropes and clichés on their heads, maybe recycled a few, maybe might have avoided some, but the ensemble really makes it work.

I suspect there are trolls in these woods.

I love this series- its so good! I disagree with the critics- the characters are relatable and if i wanted to watch something where all the people are perfect I'd watch reruns of Full House. Season 2 is equally funny/better than season 1 with plenty of laugh out loud moments. Only criticisms are that they made us wait a year for 8 (HALF HOUR) episodes! Realllllly hope season 3 comes sooner

My God I never write reviews for series but just finished season two and it is SO GOOD! Haven't laughed this hard in ages... very good writing and the actors also do a great job. Unexpected success!

Watched it in one sitting and boy what can I say ? It sure doesn't seem like the most original concept at first but nothing is these days is it?I admit I've been trying to find a show in this particular genre for some time and nothing has quite caught my attention but I would definitely recommend Friends from College over any other recent "pieces" of TV I've seen. The execution is perfect, the cast just clicks and my only complain would be how fast it ended. Can't wait for more of this - Enjoy.

I struggle to understand why critics don't enjoy this comedy as much as I do. One criticism I've heard is that none of the characters are nice people and are therefore unlikable. I disagree, there isn't a character in it I don't like, yes most of them do questionable things, make bad decisions or act inappropriately, but it makes the great television. If they were all nice people we'd end up with something annoyingly sickly sweet like This Is Us. The comedy is dry/dark but I love this programme and I really hope the more people watch it and it gets a third series
