Friends: the Reunion is the 2021 reunion special looking back at Friends, one of the most popular sitcoms of all time. The six cast members are brought back to re-created sets to reminisce, re-enact select scenes, answer questions from host James Corden, and get surprise visits from iconic guest stars.
Meh. I don't have high expectations for reunion shows, expecting predictable comments ("it was an amazing experience," "everything was perfect," "it was the best time of my life," etc.) and situations (plenty of hugs and tears and 'shock' when guest stars come on stage). This special was largely along those lines, but included bizarre extras, like random people from around the world saying how much they liked the show and how much it meant to them, or celebrity cameos that had nothing to do with the original show (David Beckham thought the show was great . . . so what?). There were a few enjoyable moments, and I enjoyed seeing how the cast looked 17 years later, but this was a letdown overall.
