Three young men and three young women -- of the BFF kind -- live in the same apartment complex and face life and love in New York. They're not above sticking their noses into one another's business and swapping romantic partners, which always leads to the kind of hilarity average people will never experience -- especially during breakups.

Ken Tucker Entertainment Weekly Like The Nanny, Friends trades on regular Do It jokes; unlike The Nanny, they're funny and non-creepy. Rated: A- May 18, 2018 Full Review Catriona Wightman Digital Spy Season four of Friends is perfection, as Chandler would say. Jun 27, 2018 Full Review Adam Chitwood Collider Season 4's other main arc involves Ross marrying Emily (Helen Baxendale), an entirely forgettable character who didn't make much of an impression when it comes to the show's legacy.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/02/25 Full Review Max W The magic of a great sitcom lies in its ability to make the audience love even the most intolerable characters, and Friends Season 4 is a perfect example of this charm. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/07/25 Full Review Felipe E Really Funny, I enjoy it very much Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/08/23 Full Review daniel k Paul Rudd was not in this season Rated 1 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member The episodes aren't quite as memorable as the previous season but the performances keep getting better and funnier, also cleverly abandons its core romance so it doesn't become stale, keeping the lives of these characters and the show fresh. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Another perfect and hilarious season of Friends! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
