What to Know

Critics Consensus

Even with bold swings and romance off the table, the rambunctious rapport between Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen makes Platonic an ideal relationship comedy.

Rachel Syme The New Yorker The show really belongs to Byrne, who is at her best when she plays a woman severely in need of a good time. Jun 2, 2023 Full Review Linda Holmes NPR While it certainly has emotional ideas that it's playing with, Platonic is mostly happy to be its truest self: a broadly goofy comedy in which a lot of really game actors have a lot of fun. May 28, 2023 Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) The laughs are there and the two stars play extremely well together, liked a mixed-gender Lucy and Ethel. Recommended. Rated: 3/4 May 27, 2023 Full Review Karl Puschmann New Zealand Herald Byrne and Rogen have fantastic chemistry together, lending the entire premise believability. Feb 12, 2025 Full Review Dónal Lynch Sunday Independent (Ireland) Opposite-sex friendships in drama always seem poised to become something romantic, but this story of two people sticks to the guns of the title as it looks at the notion that we really don’t change as we get older. Jan 29, 2024 Full Review Gautam Sunder The Hindu Platonic delivers enough physical gags, as well as heartfelt insights on modern friendship and love, to go down as one of the best buddy comedies of all time.

David F This is like one of the Judd Apatow/Seth Rogen movies stretched out into a series. It’s funny, it's contemporary, it’s sort of light, it nicely highlights its setting of Los Angeles, and it’s very entertaining. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/26/24 Full Review Robert B Rogen and Byrne are great together. The only thing I don’t like about the show is its only 1 season. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 12/21/24 Full Review Tabitha P Needed something new to watch & could not stop watching! Hilarious!! I love that they are just friends & it doesn't have to be a sexual relationship! We need more shows like this!! They had me literally "laughing out loud" great pair!!👍 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/16/24 Full Review Albert W I enjoyed it... they like to use the F word a lot though. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/08/24 Full Review Shawn C Let me start by saying.... I almost never laugh at comedies. I laughed 4 times in the first 5 episodes. That might be a lifetime record for me. I love this show. It works on a lot of levels. Buddy show, family comedy, romantic comedy, relationship humor.... It does them all well. Most of all. It's a really good time. Isn't that why we watch tv? Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/18/24 Full Review Jenaro V Comedia entretenida, ligera, perfecta para ver después de un día largo ya que no necesita tanta atención y tampoco te matara de risa. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
