Friends: The Reunion (2021 TV Special)
6/10
Mixed feelings
29 May 2021
'Friends' was pretty good, and I always watch the reruns. Two decades later, we're all a bit older and less fun, however Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox look really weird - I have no idea why some good-looking celebrities mess up their faces when getting old. Matthew Perry was also looking tired and older than you would expect. On the other hand, Lisa Kudrow and Matt LeBlanc were really funny and seem happy with their looks.

A lot of pointless and crap footage: some other celebrities (?) with no link to the show, a painful to watch Lady Gaga moment, fans of the show from other countries, a cheap fashion parade etc. Part of the reunion was hosted by the obnoxious James Corden, a very bad choice. I expected more former 'Friends' guest stars or additional cast to show up, but it wasn't possible apparently.

The bloopers, rehearsal and unreleased scenes were interesting and quite funny, as well as some of the stories shared by the cast.

Overall, I wasn't expecting much, but it could have been much better.
