I have nothing against sit-coms in general, as long as they are funny. In America, there is Frasier and Will & Grace, in Britain, there is Only Fools and Horses and Last of the Summer Wine, they are great sit-coms. There was a time when I didn't like Friends very much, then again it was also at a time when I wasn't into sit-coms. My brother and sister, who absolutely adore the show suggested I should try the show again, so I did. Well, my initial reaction of the show was wrong, this show is great, it is funny and smart with appealing characters. It is by far one of the better American sit-coms and I do think it is better than Everybody Loves Raymond. First and foremost, I love the theme song. It may get on some people's nerves, but I find it irresistibly catchy, memorable and fun, with a simple melody and nice lyrics that are relevant. I also love how funny and smart Friends is. Some of the episode titles alone are hilarious and clever. That reminds me when I see and review When Harry Met Sally, maybe the title of the review should be "The One With the Scene in the Diner". Along with this the writing is consistently funny, with some wit and intelligence and very rarely becomes clichéd and cringe worthy. I even like the plot lines, I don't find them boring, predictable perhaps occasionally but the funny situations that the characters get into make them absorbing and worthwhile. The direction is also really solid, and the photography and scenery are striking. I love the characters, they are unique and engaging, even with their flaws they manage to be likable. Rachel does have moments when she is spoilt, but she is also the epitome of sweetness. I know there are people who have problems with Jennifer Aniston, the thing is I don't and I find her at her prettiest and most appealing here. Monica is another strong character, not the funniest by all means, but because she is almost like a maternal figure to the other characters with her caring and sympathetic attitude. I loved how Courtney Cox portrayed her. Phoebe is my favourite female character, she is hilarious; I especially love her songs, they are the sort of songs that are so bad they are great. Lisa Kudrow couldn't have been the more perfect choice for her, she pulls off Phoebe's personality to perfection. Joey is stupid admittedly, but I love him anyway because he is also cool. I am not a huge fan of Matt LeBlanc, but he is really good as Joey. Matthew Perry is great as Chandler, who is like a clownish and sarcastic sort of character, who makes jokes that are almost as bad as Phoebe's songs, but he is still a likable character in his own right. Ross is deliciously neurotic, I constantly love his priceless facial expressions and David Schwimmer's delivery is absolutely perfect. There have also been some wonderful guest stars, Elliot Gould as Jack Geller, Gary Oldman(who I really like in films like Dracula and Immortal Beloved) as Richard Crosby, Michael McKean and Danny DeVito as a stripper who arrives at a party in a policeman's outfit, all but to name a few. Overall, I love this show, not only for the writing but for the characters. 10/10 Bethany Cox 47 people found this helpful. Profile image Apolline Dubois-Nguyen a year ago Friends is one of the greatest and best sitcoms of all time. Friends is about the lives of six unique adults who overcome different adventures and experiences which makes their lives both troublesome and entertaining. Jennifer Aniston portrays Rachel Green, Courteney Cox portrays Monica Geller, Lisa Kudrow portrays Phoebe Buffay, David Schwimmer portrays Ross Geller, Matt Leblanc portrays Joey Tribbiani, and Mathew Perry portrays Chandler Bing. This show coincidentally takes place in Manhattan, New York. The main premise of this show depicts the bond and lives of all six outgoing characters as they indulge in difficult situations and find their own pathways in life. In the beginning, Rachel Green ran off on Barry's wedding and chose to live with her friend, Monica where she formed a closer bond with the other characters. At the time, the six characters were quite clueless in their lives and constantly relied on each other for relationships and career issues. The writing is absolutely incredible. Producers Marta Kauffman, David Crane and Kevin Bright had an amazing writing crew which brought all the jokes and conversations to life. The producers and writers wrote a plot line which made the audience and fans more hooked in the show. The characters were beautifully portrayed. The entire cast did a phenomenal job. No one could have been better than the actors picked for this show. Besides that, the sets were memorable and the costumes were superb. Throughout the show, it almost felt that you were there with the characters. The music that was played in the show also matched the scenes accordingly. The show rightfully deserved the numerous amounts of emmies they received. Therefore, I strongly recommend this show to anyone and everyone who wants see friendships, trust, love, relationships combined in one show or just and outstanding sitcom. I adored this show and it completely exceeded by expectations. The best part of this show is the when the characters each started their own family: it is a heartfelt reinforcement when we see all characters having their dream careers ahead of them as well as their friends who will always be there for each other. I was on the verge of tears in a couple of episodes of the show. Similarly, the majority of my friends, who enjoy watching shows like I do, especially loved Friends because of its astounding writing, acting, and amazing bonds. There is not much that I can say to improve this show. Although the show mostly revolves around relationships, it isn't just about love. It's really about the friendship and the bond that the main characters have with each other, inspiring us all. In conclusion, it's not just any show. It is a very compelling, hilarious, touching and exceptional sitcom. This show brings various vital life lessons and a meaningful lesson about friendship. The ending is flawless. All six characters are happy and have moved on with their lives. The acting, casting, costumes, sets and music were all exceptional.
