Friends: The Reunion Review

Friends: The Reunion

HBO Max

The reunion we’ve all been waiting for. And the only way I could have loved it more if it was twice, ok, three times, as long. And yes I realize I’m categorizing this under TV when it’s an hour and 40 minutes long, but that’s how I’ll always see my Friends.

After not seeing a new episode of Friends for 17 years, it was so nice to see the quintessential ensemble comedy cast back together. What I especially loved was that the format was constantly changing so you felt engaged the entire time. There’s a part where they are just by themselves reminiscing, then they are getting interviewed, then they are doing table reads, then we see behind-the-scenes footage. And that’s not including the bomb revelation that was dropped and the cameos from some of the actors that made guest appearances.

It’s not going to win any awards but it’s great. It is an hour and 40 minutes of pure joy. And the best, best part about it was that the cast seemed as happy to be there as we all did to watch it.
