What's up with h all the hate for Friends these days? It's a simple feel good comedy that got laughs, why hate on that?
I loved friends, still do
I honestly don't get all the love for the show. It was the stereotypical sitcom that was super generic and not all that funny. I was always completely bored by it.
And the salamander didn't say anything bad about it. It said there's better shows. Are you going to try and claim that Friends is better than Breaking Bad or the first 8 seasons of Game of Thrones?
I'd never claim that, for one because it's claiming that a banana would be better than an airplane. They're very different things for very different purposes
Breaking bad is a very well written and acted show with complicated drama, plots, and a lot of violence
Same for game of thrones (at least untill season 6 started, then the writing took a hit but still, great show until season 8 which just sucked.
Friends in the other hand was simple popcorn feel good comedy where you could have simple laught without having to think too much, where you could get a warm fuzzy feeling about it. Breaking bad won't give you that, it's a whole different beast. Are the story lines deep and intricate? Nope, and that's what we want; simple turn-your-brain-off comedy, and I don't think it ever pretended to be more than that. It's very good at what it did, I think
