Your Friends and Neighbors

John hamm makes everything he's in better. From good omens to fargo to the princess bride home movie.

Same goes for hoon lee- warrior and banshee wouldn't have been the same without him.

Your friends and neighbors is a coherent and sophisticated romp through the hypocrisy and falsities of the country club elite.

I like most everything about this show. An issue i have with it is the music though. It's terrible- from the theme song to every whiny hipster ballad conclusion, i can not stand the music they choose for this show. The original orchestral compositions are fine, but whoever is picking the pop songs needs a new career.

Don't know why the industry thinks we need more shows about awful people we could never root for, but hey here we are... And while we're here, let's enjoy this quite realistic portayal of obnoxious shallow delusional 50 year olds which in some level are your friends and neighbors unless you're really lucky in life.

The first three episodes were quite interesting and bingeable, the twists are there and the writing is balanced, also there are signs of a protagonist arc (not a very original one if it is the "a hole hits rock bottom and discovers the meaning of life after being forced to turn to crime") I can see this finding its crowd and pace for two seasons but not much further, I will be finishing the season for sure, even the worst apple tv shows are still quite good.

The two above had a great run with Banshee Their edge carries over in this one Pulling in Hoon Lee as his best friend and business manager is great side kick and he always steals show with his sharp wit. Not to mention a couple of episodes with Banshee alum Matt Servitto as the shark lawyer. John Hamm carries any show he's in and is a smart choice. Trooper always finds leading women who can carry the men along and make the show complete

I doubt this will be as violent as Banshee but if it is, expect some over the top scenes as well

Olivia Munn is my favorite female lead and best surprise so far.

Love what I see so far.

I started watching this show with no expectations and very soon it took me in. A great, smooth and funny John Hamm and the rest of the cast is also well chosen.

Basically the story has a lot of potential and could become something huge if the surprises keep coming. Up to this point the storytelling is subtle and intriguing, although I don't like the part with the troublesome kids, which I think is just too worn out. But besides that, it has its moments, nice one liners and of course the superb narration of Coop which always come into play at the right time.

I believe Apple TV just landed another great show.

Actually, I'm vegan..but I just love Jon Hamm so much, I almost don't care what the role or the show or movie is. Initially the ratings for this show were on the low side. Given how much I love Hamm, I thought I'd give it a look anyway. I love it. It's unique, it's rather cynical, but I like that. It's a commentary on our capitalist, shallow society. It's making me feel better that I don't live in the $3 million house. I love his character.

I'm on episode two, came here to rate and review, and really happy to see that it's now a 7.9, which makes much more sense to me. I can see how this may not be for everyone.. but it is for me. ;0)
