One of the best and most heartwarming sitcoms ever. I watched this because of an edit I saw and I never regretted it after.
This show is handsdown one of the best sitcoms ever. I have watched many sitcoms before, like Big Bang, but this one truely changed my vision on love, friendship and life.
For one, the show is way ahead of its time, showing family issues, pregnancy situations and issues, LGBTQ+, being open with loved ones, mental disorders, different religions, and so much more, it really shows how different life is to everybody.
I also loved it because friends actually knows when to put laughing tracks. In the past I have watched some sitcoms, like Big Bang, where they will be in a serious situation and somehow always make a joke out of it. Friends doesn't do that, they have many serious situations (heartwarming, heartbreaking, etc), now sometimes they add jokes in serious situations but they actually know when its okay to add jokes to situations like that, which I think is really important for a sitcom.
Also, it really showcases how much you can love people, blood family or not, and how you can choose your own family, even if they are related to you or not. The 6 main characters love each other like family but only Monika and Ross are related.
I didn't like how quirky they made Monika's OCD but I do understand why they did, if they made it as serious as it is IRL it would've been a way darker show.
I also love the romances in the show, it really captivates how you can love many people at the same time or be stuck on someone you still love, etc.
I just had to make one more paragraph for Matthew Perry, RIP Matt, you were a legendary actor and you will never be forgotten.
Overall friends is an amazing show that is way over its time. If you watch it, you will never regret it.
