I was so excited for this series-and Netflix promoted the heck out of it-there were billboards all over town!
And MAN, was I disappointed!
I mean, with this cast, especially Keegan-Michael Key and Cobie Smulders, not to mention Fred Savage, who was sooooooooooooooooo good in the late, great "Grinder" - how could it go wrong?
Well-it was about self-absorbed people who were unhappy and who kept making unbelievably bad decisions!
And STUPID decisions-I mean, how did these people get into Harvard in the first place???
I did watch all 8 eps hoping it would get better, but for me, it didn't. SUPER disappointed.
The best performance BY FAR was from Billy Eichner, who gave a nuanced, understated performance that was a far cry from his usual histrionics. MORE BILLY!
I was mildly interested because of the cast, but now I won't waste my time. Your impression was similar to those I've read in reviews. I value your impression much more than reviewers who look for other things than the average viewer.
I watched them all and don't really have any specific thoughts. It was entertaining enough to keep me watching all the way through. But if season 1 is all there is I wouldn't care. It just wasn't that interesting or funny.
That's funny, I had almost the exact opposite thought. I really liked most of Fred Savage's performance and really missed seeing him on TV. While I like KMK, I really, really disliked "the voice" when he used it. They both overacted a bit, but for whatever reason it bothered me less when Fred Savage did than when KMK did.
The official Friends logo was stylized like that - they aren't periods, they are dots near the vertical mid-point of the letters. Not sure if there is an official term for that or not.
I loved Friends and haven't gotten past episode 3 of this show. I didn't take the video negatively at all. I thought it was cut and edited very professionally. It's better than the show itself!
EDIT: Or are you referring to the title of the YouTube video with the periods?
We really enjoyed both seasons. It's funny that they cast Billy Eichner as the calmest and most rational person in the show.
