    It is what it is, a simple comedy feel good show. Don’t expect deep and complex story lines because that’s not what anyone wants with a show line this

    So with that in mind, what is objectively wrong with it? You said it yourself, it was massively popular, why do you think that was? It was good at what it did, nothing more, nothing less

      It just wasn’t funny. It was a group of obnoxious young adults in apartments mugging for the camera while the laugh track assured us what they said was funny (it wasn’t.)

      The only episode that landed for me was the boys trying to move a couch upstairs with Ross shouting “PIVOT!” Otherwise, nothing really interesting happened. The “Smelly Cat” song everyone memed about was just grating.

      And I remember what was popular about it was Ross and Rachel. Which is mind-boggling, because they were both incredibly toxic and spent half their lives arguing over whether Ross cheated on her. Why would anyone root for that?
