    AppleTV+ continues its streak of excellence with this comedy about two middle aged BFF’s reconnecting after a falling out many years ago. It’s really funny, touching and the chemistry between Byrne and Rogen is giddily electric. AppleTV+ proves yet again that they are the best streamer in a crowded room.

    This show is hilarious. The leads have the most chemistry, the writing is not pandering or sitcomy. I really think Apple hit it out of the park with this one. The negative reviews are just political rogen haters review bombing as always - it's a great show. Highly recommend.

    If you like Seth Rogen and/or Rose Byrne you'll like the show.
    If you don't like Seth Rogen and/or Rose Byrne, why not spend your time writing a spiteful review of something you haven't seen, just to show everyone how sad your life actually is.

    Unwatchable. Terrible plot and bad comedy. These are two very good actors who deserve much better scripts. Hope Apple gets rid of this one develops something better.

    Was this written by 1,000 monkeys at the 1,000 typewriters and they used the first draft? Add to that Seth Rogen can't act. It is irredeemable.

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

    Very funny limited series from Apple TV+! Rogen and Byrne have insane comic chemistry.

    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.

    It's well written, well paced, well acted and doesn't even fall into the trap of putting her in an unhappy marriage. .... Here's a comedy worth your time.

    What Platonic gets right about the romantic-comedy genre, though, ultimately makes up for the show’s shortcomings. This show understands that, in art as in life, one of the great joys the world has to offer is the act of hanging out with someone who truly gets you, sharing french fries, in-jokes, and stories of your often boring, occasionally magical lives. I appreciated, too, the matter-of-factness with which both leads are presented as potential objects of romantic desire.
