Friends has since easily become my favorite series, but I have to say that I found this to be the weakest season since the first. That has more to do with some choices that are made in the story and not so much with the humor, because I still think it's fantastic. I don't often experience a series that makes me laugh out loud several times per episode, but Friends just manage to do this over and over again.

In season 8, the Joey-Rachel relationship was still going strong. This was mainly because Matt LeBlanc was able to bring credence to the sudden feelings that overtook Joey. That Rachel suddenly also gets feelings for Joey after a dream, however, seems a bit out of the blue. The whole role of Charlie is also not entirely comfortable in this regard. The chemistry between her and Joey is never there, so why Charlie decides so late that this isn't going to work is not entirely clear. It only jeopardizes the friendship between Joey and Ross and I don't understand why this should be the case. What I personally also found to be a minus was that David reappeared twice in this season; a character I didn't like in the first season for some reason. Thank goodness the writers chose to continue with Phoebe and Mike's relationship in the end.

So the bottom line is that this season from a storytelling point of view feels a bit messy at times; something that I have not experienced anywhere in the previous seasons. Hopefully they get this back to the old level in the tenth season. Fortunately, the humor and the fine mutual chemistry of the six ensure that no episode is not fun. Because of this I don't have to give a rating below four stars, because I simply had too much fun for that. I'm sad it's almost over...

4*

The least-rated season here on MovieMeter, and I totally understand why. This is also a slightly less season for me, apart from the fact that I still think it's a fantastic show, because of Chandler. He has grown from the clown of the group to the dick of the group. The repeated jokes about his feminine side became very annoying. Hopefully they correct that next season. On the other hand, I liked Phoebe, Joey and Ross much more than last season.

The viewing pace is high as Friends disappears from Netflix in two weeks, but I'm probably just going to save the last season.

I'm back to season 9 in my umpteenth review, and Friends remains my favorite series after all these years. Things went downhill after season 5. The many storylines about getting married and having babies are unnecessarily bland and unfunny. The eternal on and off relationship between Ross and Rachel also becomes annoying in the long run. By Season 7, Chandler begins to show noticeable issues with his weight, and (due to his drug and alcohol problems IRL) often seems absent-minded. In season 9 he seems to be a bit more present again. But since his relationship with Monica, he's less funny than when he was single, and often comes across as corny and like a wimp or slipper hero. Finally, the reunion, oddly enough referred to here as the 11th season, is completely unnecessary, most of the Friends (except Matt LeBlanc) remember remarkably little of the show. You better look at the blobers that you can easily find on YouTube. They are (almost) as funny as the series itself!
