FRIENDS (TV SERIES)

     I decided to write reflections about friends TV series because any TV serials except for friends didn’t give me pleasure as much as friends did. Friends TV series are about six young people, on their own and struggling to survive in the real world, find the companionship, comfort and support they get from each other to be perfect antidote to the pressures of life. These series, written by Kevin Ackley, continued for 10 years on TV. I started watching these series with my friend’s recommendation. Firstly, I didn’t want to watch a series that is very old. Yet, thanks to my curiosity, I began to watch them and I was amazed. I admire all character in separately. So I want to mention the characters in series. In my opinion, the first and the most prominent and comic character is Chandler Bing, a financially secure data processor, who relies on humor as a defense mechanism. Despite being rich, his 5 friends have no idea what his profession is. :D He is a wimpy, average looking cigarette addict. The second character is Joey Tribiani. Despite being close to all the friends, he is especially open with Chandler, who is also his roommate. Joey is small time actor, who desperately wants fame and fortune and Chandler has high hopes of Joey. So, He helps Joey with money for acting lessons. Despite being a relatively bad actor, Joey is an adorable, sensitive guy, who is very successful with woman but needs to become famous and rich to complete his successful life. The third character is Rachel Green, a popular schoolgirl of the past. But in the series, she is spoiled brat living off her father finance. She shares an apartment with an old best friend Monica Geller who is a compulsive neat freak. Monica has trouble with her love life. She was teased when she was in high school for being overweight. However, now she is a head-chef at a top restaurant in Manhatten and has lost all her excessive weight. She just wants to start a family with the right guy to complete a happy life. Other character is Ross Geller, Monica’s brother. He always had strong love feelings for Rachel. A successful professor of science leads him to be often teased by the other 5 friends about his profession. Ross has experienced many misfortunes in life, including 3 divorces and bringing up a child with his lesbian ex-wife. The final character is Phoebe Buffay, brought up as a fatherless child. She is a ditzy but loveable hippy who has become a personal masseuse. Her dream is to become a star in the music industry and bases her songs on her life experiences. The other five friends secretly believe that she will never make it, but still they encourage her to write. She often performs in the ‘Central Park’ coffee house and she strongly believes in herself.

    I think that each people, who wants to laugh and forget everything apart from friend series, should watch this series definitely I feel myself as one of them while I am watching them then I finished watching 10 seasons in a half-year. Since, they are amazing and very funny.

A funny episode from the series..I definitely suggest that you should watch this series.I wanna add something about the video I shared above. I love the character of Joey and he acts his role perfectly.I chose this video for sharing with you, because in this video Joey is trying to learn French for his audition. Yet he doesn't handle, because Phoebe teaches French to him but her expressions totally differ from Joey's.It is not quite what Phoebe is saying:)Utterances that he pronounces, definitely have not a word to do with French.In addition, I like the scene that Monica introduces surrogate mother to her friends.She is so happy.Because she will never bear a baby, she takes care of the girl who carries the baby which Monica will have. I recommended again and again and again that you should watch this series:):) You will enjoy. Trust me::)
