Friends-4-ever

Who hasn't ever seen one chapter of Friends? The question is: could you have seen just one? Friends is that kind of TV serial that grips you from the beginning. I don’t know the secret for such an audiovisual success, maybe the simplicity of its approach is the key.

Rachel (Jennifer Aniston), Ross (and David Schwimmer), Chandler (Matthew Perry), Phoebe (Lisa Kudrow), Joey (Matt LeBlanc) and Monica (Courteney Cox Arquette) star in a comedy about six close-knit young friends living in New York City struggling to overcome the pressures of real life by supporting and comforting each other.

The freshness of their characters, the wit of its scripts and the originality of the plot itself, which goes with humour and intelligence into friendship and human relationships world in depth, has turned this sitcom into a recognized and respected television product.

Created by Marta Kauffman and David Crane and produced by Warner Bros. Television, Friends was broadcast for the first time in 1994 in the American channel NBC. It is made up of 10 seasons of 24 chapters each, except the last one, which had just 18. It finished in 2004 after have won loads of awards just as the favour of the audience and the critics worldwide.
