Episode Details

Jay and Micah sit down to discuss season 1 of Netflix's latest original series, Friends from College. Starring Keegan-Michael Key, Cobie Smulders, Fred Savage, Nat Faxon, Annie Parisse, Jae Suh Park, and Billy Eichner. The show follows seven friends who went to Harvard together that are in their late 30s/early 40s reuniting as their paths cross in New York City. Old relationships rekindle, while others have never died. A mixture of "comedies of life" moments well balanced with serious issues of leaving your late breaking adult adolescence for the eventual slide into what should be your calming 40s. The show features characters who are all incredibly terrible and selfish people but have endearing qualities once you dig into the meat of what they represent. There are issues of infidelity, career changes, gaining maturity, relationship prioritizing, trying to have kids (IVF), and balancing all of that on top of the drudges of life.
