Friends — Season 2

Critics Reviews

Sam Taylor Observer (UK) Friends is light entertainment at its sharpest and most attractive. Feb 24, 2021 Full Review Catriona Wightman Digital Spy Season two of Friends saw it really beginning to find its feet -- and its romance. Jun 27, 2018 Full Review Widgett Walls Needcoffee.com It's encouraging that the characters, writing-all the elements that made the first season so enjoyable seem to have remained consistent if not gotten stronger. Rated: 4/5 Jun 26, 2018 Full Review Adam Chitwood Collider The show's second season was an improvement over the first, embracing some of the things that worked (Ross and Rachel) and abandoning a few of its more outlandish premises-though it's still not quite "top tier" Friends.
