The banter occasionally verges on crude, and other characters (such as Luke Macfarlane as Sylvia’s husband) are a mite underwritten. Still, even in lulls the comic snap of Rogen and Byrne’s chemistry is enough to keep the cylinders firing.
-
Whether it will join the league of Friends, New Girl and Will and Grace remains to be seen. But it is certainly off to a promising start.
-
Yet Platonic operates in such a minor key it’s hard to escape the feel of another vanity project to feed the hungry altar of streaming. The net effect is a show, perhaps appropriately, that’s easy enough to like, and almost impossible to love.
-
Beyond the draw of its main stars, “Platonic” is a middling comedy with plenty of the same gags you’ve seen before.
-
There is potential here. Set pieces can be enjoyably silly, and some of the comedy is nicely-observed. .... But mostly the writing feels too smug.

May 24, 2023Unfunny, poorly written, poorly acted. Seth Rogen continues his streak of failures and Apple continues their streak of low quality releases.
