Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen in Platonic (2023)

Review by jeakin-17556

Platonic

3/10

Something is really off

For a show that leads two big actors, this had a lot of potential. It boils down to the writing, which is awkward and nonsensical and forced the characters into situations that would never happen in real life. Jokes aren't funny and dialogue repeats itself in an unrealistic way. It almost seems as if there should be more involvement from other characters to boost plot points where massive weaknesses are. Humor is almost entirely situational and after every event I am left thinking how this would never happen. On top of that we never had an intro period to understand and feel for the protagonists, so during these silly meaningless oddities we aren't even pulled to feel for the characters position. The show's title and incredibly top line plot probably sound good on paper, but the writing and awkward acting falls embarrassingly flat.

I think it's worse noting that I also really love Seth Rogen. Amidst that love, I can't unsee the terribleness of the show he's in.
