By Jessica SheinfeldA Comedy series based in Manhattan, New York about 6 close young friends. Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey. Monica is a controlling neat freak who used to be extremely overweight, but since high school has lost it all and become a successful chef. Successful with guys... not so much, but she turns that around eventually. Rachel, Monica's ex-best friend and now newly reconnected best friend ran out on her wedding with her doctor fiance and starts a life on her on... with the help of her new 5 best friends. Phoebe, an aspiring musician hippie with intense family problems is always happy, but always finds herself falling in love with the wrong men. Ross is a geeky, nerdy paleontologist who has been in love with Rachel since high school and is determined to be with her now. Although in love with Rachel he tries to move on and attempts to get it right 3 times, but he only ends up with 3 divorces. Chandler a financially secure data processor, who relies on humor as a defense mechanism. Despite being rich, the other 5 friends have no idea what his profession is, and Chandler is a wimpy, average looking cigarette addict, who has never had a serious relationship. Lastly, Joey, Despite being close to all the friends, he is especially open with Chandler, who his also his roommate. Joey is a small time actor, who desperately wants fame and fortune, and Chandler has high hopes of Joey, so helps Joey with money for acting lessons and professional photographs. Despite being a relatively bad actor, Joey is an adorable, sensitive guy, who is very successful with women, but needs to become famous and rich to complete his successful life. I most definitely recommend this series full of emotion, drama, and laughter. All 10 seasons are on Netflix so go for the binge watching!
