Television Shows are such an important part of peoples lives especially in the era of what we call “Binge Watching”. Binge Watching also known as the practice of watching multiple episodes of a television program in rapid succession is what people today choose to do on their free time. TV shows makes such a great impact in our life and its influence is undeniable. It can also be a great conversation starter at an event or party where you are trying to get to know people and understand their personalities. Television Shows also help you pass your lonely time and act as a therapy in the times you are feeling low. We all have been there, haven’t we? Also if I am not wrong, Television Shows, since there are so many of them produced every year can leave us confused on which one to watch-I mean c’mon, it better be worth spending your time, right? And so I am writing this blog to talk to you about the show that’s been favorite of many across the globe. Yup! you are right. It’s the iconic FRIENDS.
Friends over the past 25 years have managed to be the best show in history. Thanks to its amazing storyline that has managed to bag 10 seasons and 236 episodes. That’s a long running show right there which now is also available on Netflix to binge watch just in case you haven’t and for those who like to re watch it over and over again. So lets talk about this cult series and why is it so popular with almost every generations even today?
Lets Start with the Characters Since its audience were able to relate to them. All of the characters has so many funny moments that people are still fond of, so much so to a point that they rewatch certain episodes for a good laugh. Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and joey. The six best friends whom I like to call super six. They will show you about the real world and how it sucks yet it still is beautiful. The characters have different personalities. You can see the passion, sarcasm, stupidity and most importantly the love.
Now that we talked about the character, lets talks about its storyline. The story is about group of friends who are in their mid 20’s and out of their parents house figuring out their life, and emerging through their adulthood. The show talk about everything an adult deals with from anxiety to uncertainties. The show also highlights the romantic and professional life of an adult in an absurd way breaking that image of an old school adult life where one has a 9-5 job and a settled life with kids and a big fat family. And honestly that sounds boring as hell. I would not watch that and I guarantee you wouldn’t either. So lets all take time to thank the writer of friends for making an adult life fun to watch even after these many years.
And now lets talk about some iconic moments which are hard to forget. As I am writing this article I am recalling almost every episodes that has been aired on the show through out its tenth seasons. Like Ross getting a monkey or the on and off going relationship between Ross and Rachel, Monica and chandler romance, Phoebe search for family and joey acting career. Every season of this show had something to offer in terms of twist and revelation which is very interesting and makes it watchable anytime and for anyone regardless of which generation you are from.
So in conclusion, I would say that Friends is definitely one of the best show out there. Rachel, Monica, phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross as a support group who were always there for one another will give you a understanding of a real friendship goals. A show that you can relate to and learn life and understand that everything will fall in its place and everything is going to be okay is the show Friends and if you haven’t watched then I would say you are missing out.
