Plot: Platonic former best friends approaching midlife reconnect after a long rift; the duo’s friendship becomes more consuming and destabilizes their lives.
I was looking forward for this new series.
Season 1 of Platonic was Okay.
Pros: Seeing both Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne together again and as well I enjoy their antics. This series felt warn & easy to watch a new episode each week and the ending was satisfying.
Cons: A lot of the comedy wasn’t that funny. I couldn’t into the story that much. I lost interest in the middle from the 2nd half and the storyline involved Sylvia’s husband wasn’t that interesting.
