Friends has to be the most overrated TV show of all time. I feel like an insane person whenever I hear people saying that it's a funny show.
I dont k ow if you watched it when it was new, but today it's not very funny. In the 90s, it was funny, but comedy has changed a lot since then, and some of the show is not very "woke" if you will excuse the term.
I think there are still funny and quotable moments but i dont think any of it would resonate with a younger audience. Comedy today is so much better and different to then. And a lot of shows that have come along since friends have used plots and jokes from the show and done them to death so it seems unoriginal and derivative.
I think this is all true of a lot of old shows. Tv is just a different beast now.
