A Friends chapter was launched a decade ago, surely one of the most viewed series in history. Such was the expectation for this special chapter that had an audience of 52 million viewers. Today, there are many who continue to see this 90 production and identify with one of their six characters.
Why did Friends like it so much? Some of the reasons
- The Storyline will never go out of style
This series knew how to maintain, based on humor, for 10 seasons with a very fine script, which was not based on specific events of its context. He lived with jokes with which anyone, with indifference of age or their situation, could be related. It was a fast, ingenious, deep script in details. On the other hand, I have made a group of friends who live different situations with which many people can relate (love and work, for example) is also an attraction for the series. Many have tried to replicate Friends, but it has been impossible.
Like the audience, it feels identified with the story, also each of the spectators with one of the six characters. It was difficult to opt for the favorite and this is thanks to the great construction that was made around them. Rachel was the most materialistic, but deep down he had a big heart and an admirable character; Joey may not be the intelligent, however he followed his instincts and was spontaneous; The same as Monica, with a huge heart and without shame to show its most sensitive side; Chandler did not have the best work, nor the best relationship with women (except for Monica), nor the perfect relationship with his parents, but taught to laugh for anything and find the entire funny side for unpleasant that was the moment; Ross was always a nerd and proud to be, in addition to being a very responsible father and never surrendering; And Phoebe taught many to have fun with the strangest songs or running in a very particular way.
It was perfect for the series, a legra in which the situations that the characters were going to live during the ten seasons were exactly portrayed, always highlighting the importance of friendship to cope with them.
-The laughs were real. If a joke was not good, we had to face the rejection of the people and improve in the next scene. But, fortunately, most situations passed the test with a very good note, as could be checked.
- Had the best guests
In each chapter, when it started, there was the intrigue about who was going to be the guest star. Bruce Willis spent the series making dad of one of Ross’s girlfriends and as Rachel’s quote; Christina Applegate and Reese Witherspoon, Rachel’s spoiled sisters; Paul Rudd, like Phoebe’s perfect boyfriend; George Clooney of a nurse; or Brad Pitt.
- It was and remains a cultural icon
Friends’s influence crossed the limits of the screen and was inserted as a cultural reference in many ways. According to linguistics experts, in Toronto, from the appearance of Friends the use of SO To intensify the adjective, it began to appear very frequently. Or Rachel’s hair style, which all women wanted to imitate.
It didn’t matter how terrible what had happened, everything was always going to improve. From Monica with a good figure after being a victim of obesity to Phoebe, who started as a waitress and ended in Ralph Lauren. Not forgetting a Chandler who ended up marrying his best friend after several failures with other women and Ross, who after three divorces stayed with the girl of his dreams.
