Put it on the Rolex where it came from. Spoilers “Season 1 for” friends and neighbors “is ahead!

Legendary horror writer Stephen King has many gratifying qualities as a public character, but maybe his best is that he truly Enjoy pop culture and consume it just like us. (How does he also have time to write as much as he is a mystery to me, but hey – good for him!) On the platform of social media BluesyKing weighed the recent Apple TV+ series with a rather positive judgment: “Deliously Nasty. It’s like John D. Macdonald’s novel since 1962 much more sex and not a good guy. Enjoy.”

The series in question is “Your Friends and Neighbors” premiere in streamer in April 2025 and stars “Mad Men” veteran Jon Hamm Andrew Cooper as a financial buddy, usually called “Coop”, who in the first episode fired with a subordinate employee and cannot keep expensive on his life. His former wife Mel (Amanda Peet), Kids Tori and Hunter (Isabel Marie Gravitt and Donovan Colan) and his re-air status Liekki Samantha Levitt (Olivia Munn) Unknown.Leo shows a meme“). As the season continues, Coop strives to balance his new life as a small spare in his rich, comfortable suburban area … and when he finally forms a Alliance with one family spikes, Elena (Aimee Carrero), he gets over his head. No associated with The same name for the Neil Labute movie.)

It is clear that the king loved your “friends and neighbors” who ended it for the first seasons of the nine episodes on May 30. So what did the critics thought about the new drama of the creator Jonathan Tropper, who made season 2 renewing before the first premiere?

“Your friends and neighbors” are not a flawless series, and Rotten tomatoes Critical consensus reflects that it is called “without fermenting in a clever riff break” and saying that the exhibition “class comment sometimes stumbles upon, but it has endlessly watching avatar in the Star of Jon”. Still, the series received an overall rating of 81%, so individual critics clearly thought about the series.

Yet critics make Single Hamm out of the series as a bright place (and when someone who looked at the first season, I agree with it and also praised Olivia Munn’s excellent supporting turn). “A supposedly successful man who is in a spiritual crisis, Hamm has returned to the Don Draper area,” Robert Lloyd wrote in his review Los Angeles Times. Aramide Tinubu agreed to him Variety A review by saying, “Hamm is a fantastic man who reflects his impprofated self -esteem.” John Powers really wrote NPRthat he thinks this is Hamm’s best translation so far, which is shocking when you are considering What a great performance he will deliver everywhere at the “Mad Men” event. “It plays a perfect role for Hamm, carrying our memories of Don Draper’s dark soul charisma, then takes such a character to a new direction, sad and more sympathetic,” Powers concluded. “He has never been better.”

However, not all critics knew good “your friends and neighbors”. “This series is” sometimes “a lot of things, including the predictable of disappointing access to a solid middle-aged white friend in crime genres and inconsistently soft criticism of the same genre, but constantly anyone,” Daniel Fienberg wrote in Hollywood Reporter. Ben Travers expressed a similar feeling IndiewireWriting, “” your friends and neighbors “are not disappointing because it remains in greatness. It’s a disappointment because it doesn’t try hard to be great.”

Something unexpected happens at the end of the “friends and neighbors” at the end of season 1. When cooperation is accused of murdering Sam’s former husband to learn that the guy died in suicide and Sam committed a crime scene to secure a life insurance contribution-he gets a call from an old boss in the Helsinki metropolitan area Jack Bailey (Corb Bernsen). They need him to secure an account in Switzerland, so Coop, who has been clarified of all the assertions of all murder, agrees to return if he receives a huge share of the company. Instead of flying to Switzerland with Jack, however, Coop breaks into his house and steals a work of art, so we are clearly going to see him deepen his criminal lifestyle next season.

“He learned something really vital because when I started writing [the first season]I wanted Coop to have the keys to his old life back at the end, “Creator and actor Jonathan Tropper said in an interview after the Fina Variety. He continued:

“And everything he has gone through, sitting in his old boss in his office everything has lost everything, and the last months can literally be just a bad feverish dream. Now he may have his office and wealth and position and his position and future and economic safety. He is offered every time he really intends to take it. That the things he learned are a bit criminal, has made him better what he does in the financial world. “

Still, Tropper said cautiously that Coop would not “break evil” so to speak. “COP will never become a criminal Kingpin. We’re not going to Walter White,” he said in an interview. “So, it will never be building a big criminal company. But what is the risk and reward relationship, what is needed to make him feel alive and do what he at least tells himself – what is the exit strategy No will be, but I don’t think he has yet to find out what he is there is will be. “

“Your friends and neighbors” is to stream Apple TV+ now, and the number 2 of the season 2 is not yet.
