The script, when it's going for laughs, is absolutely riotous. The scenes taking place in the frat-boy bullpen at Lisa's new hedge fund office—favorite on-going prank: during conversations with SEC compliance officers, they mute their end of the call, then drop trou and rub their junk on the phone—are pee-your-pants hilarious.

As the tone of College shifts from slapstick to seriocomic in a series of cringe-inducing set pieces of social awkwardness, you may grow dizzy from the love-or-hate-them seesaw. [10-23 Jul 2017, p.13]

The show doesn't have much narrative momentum, which makes the eight episodes at times feel slightly disconnected.

A promising generational sitcom that might have had something to offer its target audience of middle-aged folks raised on Friends but squanders all of our interest with mirthless, misguided strategies for holding it. The only spectacle it offers is the shocking magic trick of turning a bright, dazzling cast into a bunch of dim bulbs.

[The actors are] saddled with unlikable characters, a distasteful infidelity plot and an erratic tone that never quite finds itself.

Along with the show’s inability to find a consistent comic tone or a memorable story line (it leans heavily on the usual choices: marital infidelity, light class envy, fertility issues), Friends From College makes embarrassingly poor use of a cast that deserves to be in a better show.

The only explosion in Friends from College is that the entire eight-episode series is a stink bomb. It's crude, predictable and stupid.

Esta comedia de Netflix nos presenta un sitcom de un grupo de amigos fuera de lo convencional, con amoríos y rivalidades, donde se pone a prueba la amistad de la juventud a la adultez de los 40.
La historia se centra en Ethan y Lisa, quienes se mudan a New York y con ellos pueden completar su círculo íntimo de la Universidad. Lo que trae una complicación porque Ethan durante todo su matrimonio tuvo un amorío con Sam, un miembro de ese grupo.
La serie cuenta con elementos muy interesantes, donde exhiben cómo el grupo se sostiene en una mentalidad que no congenia con su edad real, y como eso tiene efectos con los terceros en sus vidas.
Una gran problemática es que en esta comedia medio grupo se siente demás, pueden contribuir en la comedia pero en la trama general no aportan nada. Además hay que mencionar que el humor es escaso y muy visto.
Si buscas un sitcom como "Friends" o "How I met your mother" ésta no lo es, tiene un drama muy pretencioso y el humor es inconsistente. Al ser corto vale la pena arriesgarse para saber si eres público de éste show, pero creo que el margen es muy chico.
