A “genius” Apple TV+<\/a> sitcom that has been hailed “the best ever” has left fans emotional.<\/p>\n

Created by Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller, Platonic unites two comedy icons in a brilliant series that explores adult friendships.<\/p>\n

Bad Neighbours<\/a> co-stars Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen portray Sylvia and Will, former university friends who reunite after Will’s divorce.<\/p>\n

Will operates a brewpub and previously fell out with Sylvia when she disapproved of his choice of bride.<\/p>\n

Over the years, the duo have built completely different existences. Will remains a lively, pub-focused character who spends his days with his friends and business colleagues, whilst Sylvia has become a housewife raising three kids with a devoted spouse, reports the Express<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When the pair revive their bond, their relationship quickly disrupts their contrasting worlds in an utterly memorable way.<\/p>\n

Alongside Byrne and Rogen, the underrated sitcom also features Luke Macfarlane, Tre Hale<\/a>, Andrew Lopez, and Carla Gallo.<\/p>\n

Platonic debuted on Apple TV+ in 2023, before securing a second series renewal several months afterwards.<\/p>\n

The fresh episodes arrived on the platform last month, returning Will and Sylvia to centre stage as they both transform their professional lives and personal identities.<\/p>\n

Platonic is a must-watch for those who enjoy sitcoms, friendships and a good dose of mischief. The show has been well-received by viewers, with many taking to social media to express their admiration.<\/p>\n

Another chimed in: “I love this show. I love anything with Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, they make great comedy together. I literally laugh out loud at some of the antics. This is a feel good show.”<\/p>\n

A third fan declared: “This is the best comedy on Apple TV. Rose Byrne is a comic genius. It’s also got depth, which is unusual for a slapstick comedy, but that’s what makes it class. Heart and humour. Winning combo. This is comic heaven.”<\/p>\n

A fourth echoed these sentiments, stating: “Loved Platonic. It revisits When Harry Met Sally, which was such a throwback! I really love friend films or episodes so it made me teary-eyed.”<\/p>\n
