Summary
Reviewers say 'Your Friends & Neighbors' explores themes of wealth, privilege, and moral decay, often through a satirical lens. Jon Hamm's performance is frequently praised, with many noting his ability to bring depth and vulnerability to his character. However, criticisms include the show's implausible plot, lack of character development, and excessive use of sex scenes. Some reviewers find the series shallow and unengaging, while others appreciate its sharp writing and complex characters. The show's portrayal of the wealthy elite and their moral dilemmas is a central theme, though it divides opinions on its effectiveness and relatability.

Your Friends and Neighbors is another hit in a long line of hits for Apple TV+. No other company has a higher percentage of hits than Apple TV right now. It seems like every show they put out is great and addictive. Now, this one isn't their best show but it's absolutely worth watching. Jon Hamm is as terrific as always. His character in this actually reminds me of his best character ever in Don Draper from Mad Men. Olivia Munn (who's one of the prettiest actresses in Hollywood) and Amanda Peet also shine here. All three give some of the best performances of their careers and should have a good chance at being nominated for some awards. I do hate waiting a week between shows though, a show like this is better watched as a binge. There seems to plenty of ways the show can go to produce more seasons so I really hope they plan on doing several more seasons.
I have to say I really enjoyed this series even more than I expected to. Besides Apple TV always putting out bangers, I'm a fan of both Jon Hamm and Olivia Munn so I was looking forward to this since the moment first heard about it. I'm glad it didn't disappoint. The thing that did surprise me though is it's funnier than I expected. Your Friends and Neighbors is about a hedge fund manager (Hamm) who gets fired in disgrace. Not knowing what to do next he resorts to stealing from his Westmont Village neighbors. Besides the money and valuables he steals he also comes across a bunch of secrets his wealthy friends have that prove to be very dangerous. I definitely recommend this for anyone looking for a fun new show to watch.
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)

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.

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.
