They are perfect together.Friends is everything you heard about even if you have never watched it: great plots, great jokes, great cast. My favorite episodes are the ones in which the main scenery is Monica’s apartment, because it’s when we can see the 6 of them together, and their timing is amazing. I can’t wait to watch their reunion!

I have never watched something so unfunny, fake, and weird. I wanted to see what the hype was about and didn't stop watching it even when I thought it couldn't get any worse. I watched all the seasons because everyone kept saying that it'd get better. Well, it didn't. The characters are so fake (especially Joey). For the longest time I believed that I just didn't like sitcoms before I found some other shows that were actually interesting and in which the story was developing not only during the first two and the last two episodes of the season. Honestly, I don't get it. I sincerely do not understand why this show is so popular even today when we truly have some really good series and sitcoms.
Even though I didn't live and wasn't born in the 90s, I still find this one of the best sitcoms ever. The characters are just great and the chemistry between them is amazing! It's hard choosing who my favorite character is, because they are all amazing! What I also like about this sitcom is that it isn't always sexualized, most of the episodes are pretty much PG, and their content is friendly for younger audiences or viewers who are not comfortable with sexual activities or references on a sitcom.
Until today, Friends is, for me, the best short-episode comedy series. Its quick, peculiar, and light-hearted humor sets it apart from others in the genre that make comedy seem forced. The first season of this series was excellent and maintained the level almost in every episode, including visits from already famous actors in special appearances. Excellent.
A series of this length has Inevitably developed a regular "recap episode”. Since season 6, there has been an episode in each season that recaps previous episodes as a way to retain viewers. But so far, the show is like a fruit that has been exposed to air for too long, and there’s no way to stop it from rotting. The opening and closing episodes are especially terrible.
Chandler's views on love and marriage have often moved me. In the recap episode, Monica asks him about his lifestyle after marriage, and his answer shows me for the first time that marriage is not the start of a completely new and different life, but rather an even better continuation of the previous life. The future roads don't become narrow but lead towards warm reunions. Btw, Chandler and Monica actually did save a room for Joey.
I’ve watched it until season 7. I was so moved seeing Chandler continue to grow and pull himself out of his fear of marriage and responsibility, being willing to face a future without grand adventures and accepting all the unknowns that come with the commitment he feared… It’s a mixture of emotions. And it's hard not to be moved by the spirit of tolerance, respect, and understanding that permeates every episode of Friends. It's the very best of humanity where ordinary people support each other.
Monica in season 7 is extraordinarily different from the previous seasons, becoming prettier and quieter, as if the upcoming change of her status has made her gentler. Chandler's constant change makes me less able to focus on his jokes though. Everyone else is still the same. Ross is getting more and more paranoid, but Rachel's growth is very noticeable, and Pheobe and Joey are still the nicest and sweetest people ever.
Hate Ross! Rachel’s love is very irrational, which can only be attributed to the result of being brainwashed by patriarchy. Her love for Ross comes into being without rhyme or reason, falling in love with Ross in the beginning simply because she knows he loves her. If she gets along with Ross, why doesn’t she have any feelings for him before, and instead is forced into a relationship with him? I don't think they are destined to be together at all, and they should start new lives separately. Also, Ross cheats and frequently does two-timing. Pheobe and Joey are the perfect couple, accompanying each other happily for the rest of their lives.
