Season 2 Review:
Your Friends & Neighbors Season 2 is further proof that Tropper, Hamm, and Apple TV have made one of the most addictive series on streaming. It may juggle a lot, and takes an episode to truly get into the meat of things, but once the scandals start, you can't look away.

Season 1 Review:
Tropper’s series does meander, but even if it’s not run as tightly as a ship as it could be, its original premise and its ability to make many of these characters interesting as they show flickers of humanity and then do something appalling keep you watching. The primary reason remains Hamm.

Season 1 Review:
Seven of the nine episodes made available for review establish "Your Friends & Neighbors" as one of Tropper’s better TV efforts, although, in the tradition of past shows like "Banshee" and "Warrior," its handsomeness disguises significant creative shortcomings. That doesn’t make it less watchable – it's certainly that. Nevertheless, if you’re exhausted with voiceover exposition, you’re probably also over in medias res openers. .... Since it’s Hamm’s mug and voice doing the trespassing, these cliches are easily forgiven.

Season 1 Review:
The first couple episodes can be tiring as the entire world is seemingly pitted against Cooper, but as time goes by, it becomes clear that this is simply his perspective, and his relationships are all more complex and nuanced than they initially appear. "Your Friends and Neighbors" isn't perfect, but Hamm alone makes it worth giving a chance.

Season 1 Review:
Only seven of the episodes were available for review, so whether a viewer should invest at all is a gamble. Like a hedge fund. One sure thing is that Mr. Hamm will keep your attention for as long as you have him, and another is Ms. Hall, who is a treat, especially when she sings.

Season 2 Review:
At its core, “Your Friends and Neighbors” is a conventional show consisting of conventional pleasures. It’s not pretending to be anything else. .... Sometimes, it’s OK to enjoy things that are meant to be enjoyed. That’s what Coop’s doing, that’s what Jon Hamm is doing, and in Season 2, we can join them.

Season 1 Review:
It’s an addictive binge-watch with the type of Apple TV+ sheen that you’d come to expect. Further, it centralizes a Hamm performance that perfectly encapsulates the type of likable loser that he’s so good at portraying. But, it’s also something of a missed opportunity, never able to make the type of statement it is so obviously reaching towards.

Season 1 Review:
His thefty activities aren’t any different — not spiritually, anyway — from his legitimate ventures at the hedge fund, where the goal is maximizing wealth for the already wealthy, no matter who suffers. Coop has just picked more deserving targets this time. It’s too bad the series (which has already been renewed for another season) isn’t interested in sorting through those parallels more deeply.

Season 2 Review:
The show still tends to bog itself down with too many characters and stories, as well as the gimmickry of Coop’s narration intruding on what’s going on. .... The addition of Marsden is promising, though. .... We hope his presence focuses the story in a way that we didn’t see previously.

Season 2 Review:
Ashe is the kind of fresh juice a second season needs, even if it ultimately leads things to a preposterously far-fetched climax. Meanwhile, a slight problem remains that over ten hours the series can dip whenever Hamm isn’t on screen. The various characters’ family dramas sometimes feel as if they’re from a different, slightly schmaltzier drama.

Season 2 Review:
A good example of a decent enough comedy drama that would have been fine at one series, but because television is insatiable, the show must go on. As such, the second series throws new characters and plot lines into the same milieu and hopes that, once again, a snappy script and good acting will carry the day.

Season 1 Review:
Thanks to fellow standouts Amanda Peet and Olivia Munn, a somewhat formulaic look at the lives of the wealthy still has moments rife with chemistry and the feeling of something more interesting bubbling beneath the surface. And though it promises some thrilling heists and sizzling secrets, this pricey drama comes up short.

Season 1 Review:
It’s all very easy on the eye. Showrunner Jonathan Tropper has written a solid, if uninspiring story, and Apple have brought it to the screen with the sort of colour palette you’d expect from a DFS advert. And yet there’s something a bit insipid about Your Friends & Neighbours.

Season 1 Review:
It just doesn’t seem interested in anything delving any deeper in the traditional Peak TV way (which this very much wants to be). There are a few stabs at cultural commentary, like expensive Scotch as a metaphor for social standing, and the occasional oblivious obscene consumption. But not much deeper than that.

Season 2 Review:
I really wanted to like this series and hoped it would improve on its adequate first season, but it just became too consistently frustrating and was an overall disappointment. It's not a major disappointment, but it's still a letdown because it's trying to be too much of everything and not enough of one thing.

Season 1 Review:
Instead of taking risks, it’s generally accommodating, content to be real estate porn and a gentle lampooning of real estate porn all at once — which makes it easier for Apple to call it a drama, when I like it much more when it’s being a dark comedy. Regardless, to return to Cheever, it’s a show that’s too content to swim with a too conventional tide.

Season 1 Review:
“Your Friends and Neighbors” is basic and tiresome, just marking time until getting back to Coop’s increasing immersion in the criminal underworld. There are glimpses of the more exciting, layered show that “Your Friends and Neighbors” could have been, especially when Coop and Elena are working together, challenging each other’s received notions about class and gender. Those moments are far too fleeting, and they lack any urgency or momentum, despite strong chemistry between Hamm and Carrero.

Season 1 Review:
Has boundless contempt for its characters and their empty lives of not-so-quiet desperation. This would be OK if the satire had bite and wit or the lead character had a single redeeming quality. Instead, Coop is a self-pitying schlub without the brains or moxie to pull himself out of his tailspin.
