“Your Friends & Neighbors” works as an upper-class crime story, a biting and insightful satire of the rich and infamous, and a portrait of a man who sometimes narrates his own story, always starting with, “This is what happens…”
-
Your Friends isn’t supposed to be rigorous prestige drama. It’s a guilty pleasure, with a bit more heart than you might expect. It gets away with it.
-
Season 1 was a fascinating assessment of the fragility of the American dream. In Season 2, “Your Friends & Neighbors” gets more textured, showcasing a different level of affluence, the costs of lies and why wealthy white men, in particular, constantly fail upward.
-
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.
-
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.
-
A second season refreshes its game with a lively Jon Hamm/James Marsden matchup, but the eat-the-rich plot still goes nowhere.
-
Frequently captivating if ultimately too strained and schizophrenic to fully justify its continued existence.
