The new Apple TV+ show "Platonic" starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne is a comedy about the rekindling of a friendship between two former best friends in midlife. While the title suggests a love triangle, the show is more about the complicated nature of close friendships and the emotional real estate they occupy in the lives of married people. The show is a broadly goofy comedy with a lot of fun and game actors, and a sturdy vehicle for jokes, physical comedy, and silliness.

"Platonic" Review: Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne's Perfect Modern Buddy Comedy

"Platonic" is a new streaming series on Apple TV+ that explores male-female friendships but plays more like a breezy ode to a stoner aesthetic. The show stars Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, who while away time bantering and sparring. The show's pleasures boil down to a general mood more than belly laughs, as well as smaller moments. The audience is left to serve as bystanders while Rogen and Byrne discuss anything and everything, in a way that's refreshingly natural but also lacking in any sense of urgency.

"Review: Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne's Hilarious Chemistry in 'Platonic' on Apple TV+"

"Platonic," the new Apple TV+ comedy starring Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, models itself after "When Harry Met Sally" but falls short in its execution. The show follows long-estranged best friends who rekindle their codependent bond. However, the characters are obnoxious and lack endearment, and the show fails to explore the implications of their friendship. The supporting characters are also skin-deep, and the show feels stranded between a tighter, more joke-forward approach and grounded psychological realism.
