Craig and Smokey exist in a living-breathing environment, and that is Friday's greatest strength. Everything feels lived in and weathered with years of usage, and that can even been seen on the characters faces. When Craig and Smokey sit and talk on a porch Friday finds a good rhythm of chemistry between its stars. A revolving door of characters cruise through their afternoon weed, and they all feel different from one another by being influenced by Craig and Smokey's perceptions. Some of the comedy doesn't hold up, and Craig and Smokey definitely don't have a sophisticated view of women, but there's a certain kind of magic in the world that's created here in the sun-baked oranges and browns of their neighbourhood and the riffing of Cube and Tucker. Tucker is especially good, bringing with him an influx of visual and physical comedy in how he enunciates his lines and moves his body. The jarring tonal shift into violence and questions of masculinity feel tacked on to this otherwise laid back stoner comedy, but it's believable that peaceful life can be disrupted by the circumstances around you.
