Friends Re-Review

Posted on by John Hayeck

Preface

  • Here’s a new segment on this site, which will probably be pretty uncommon.
    • It’s called a “Re-Review” where I post new thoughts on something I’ve already done a formal Review on.
    • They’ll happen because either I’ve re-watched something and have more thoughts on it that I didn’t discuss before, or because I’ve seen the film/show in a new light and want to give my updated thoughts on it.
  • And yeah, when it comes to Friends: that second one.
  • You can click here to check out my original thoughts on Friends, and you can go on over to Netflix or iTunes and check out the entire show if you choose. (Which I recommend.)
    • Re-Reviews will delve into some spoilers, but nothing that will totally ruin the show for you. Stick around, enjoy, let’s go!

The premiere episode of the show actually comes out online today, but since I have Charter On-Demand I was able to see it last week. You can watch the pilot through either if you’d like, but I’m here to tell you why that may not be a good idea.
