Friends from College (2017–2019)
6/10
Fun, but irrelevant in 2021
23 August 2021
This was probably funny in its day, but in a post pandemic, climate crisis, BLM world, it just seems wasteful. People with every possibility for great lives (Harvard grads) just seem to waste a lot of time by making really bad decisions in their personal lives. Perhaps that's the point. But hard to care.

Some comic moments are well structured, and definitely made me laugh, I do really want to know what happens to each person; but it's so hard to believe that everyone in this friend group is emotionally stunted and can't mature past the emotional games of high school and college. Everybody in your friend group can't be an immature jackass.

A few additional characters (maybe parents?) to show how spoiled, privileged and banal these characters are would have rounded out the story and probably gotten them a third and fourth season.
