11 mixed reviews of ‘The one where somebody said F.R.I.E.N.D.S. was garbage’

It’s almost 25 years since the US sitcom F.R.I.E.N.D.S. first hit the screens, so we’ll undoubtedly see a flurry of tributes, extra reruns, quirky clips during the ads to remind us of the extra reruns and lots of “Where are they now?” articles. However, Buzzfeed have kicked off the celebrations with *checks notes* a piece that absolutely trashes the show and all who sailed in her.

You can read the full thing here, but these are a few edited highlights – or lowlights, depending on your point of view.

“Friends, my darling, is terrible.”

“Phoebe, a fictional character in a bad television show whose entire personality trait is being flighty”

“Friends, a show about white people being thin and having the pointiest nipples in the continental Americas …is absolute garbage.”

It’s fair to say that writer, Scaachi Koul, pulled no punches, and when it made its way onto Twitter, people had a lot to say about her article.

There were some who joined her in coming out as F.R.I.E.N.D.S. haters.
