Put that rolls from where it comes from. Spoilers For Season 1 of "Friends and Neighbors" lie forward!

The legendary horror writer Steven King has many wonderful qualities as a public figure, but maybe his best is that he Real Enjoys pop culture and spends just like others. (Like he also has time to write as much as doing is a mystery to me, but hey - good for him!) On the Social Media platform BluesKing weighed in the recent series Apple TV+with a pretty positive judgment: "Delirably uncomfortable. It's like D.N D. McDonald's novel of 1962 with much more sex and no good man."

The series in question is "Your Friends and Neighbors", which premiered on Streamer in April 2025 and stellas Veteran "Crazy Men" Jonon Ham As Andrew Cooper, a finance man is usually called "Cop", which in the first episode is fired over one part with the subordinate employee and does not know how to keep his expensive life alive. Unknown to his ex -wife Mel (Amanda Pitt), Children's Tori and Hunter (Isabel Marie Gravit and Donovan Kolan), and his again again flame Samantha Levitte (Olivia Moon), the Cup begins to steal money and expensive items from his friends and neighbors.Leo shows Mem"). As the season continues, the Cup is struggling to balance his new life as a small thief with his rich, comfortable suburban lifestyle ... And when the alliance forms with one of the family maids, Elena (Aime Carrero), he enters his head. no related to Neil Labute's film with the same name.)

It is clear that King loved "your friends and neighbors", which ended his first season at nine episodes on May 30. So what do critics think about the new drama of the creator Athonian Troper, who has achieved the renewal of Season 2 before the first even premiered?

"Your friends and neighbors" is not a flawless series and Rotten tomatoes The critical consensus reflects it, calling it "a sour witty riff of the Breaking Bad" and saying that "the class comment on the show is occasionally stumbling, but has an infinitely avatar at Starwarr as Jonon Ham." However, the series achieved a full rating of 81%, so individual critics clearly thought a lot about the series.

However, critics Whether Single Ham came out as a bright spot in the series (and, as someone watching the whole first season, I would agree and also offered some praise for Olivia Moon's excellent turning point). "As an allegedly successful man, subjected to a spiritual crisis, Ham returned to Don Drapper's territory," Robert Lloyd wrote in his review of Los Angeles Times. Aramid Tinuu has agreed to her Diversity Review, saying, "Ham is as fantastic as a man thinking about his exploded sense of himself." UN Powers actually wrote, for NPRThat he thinks this is Ham's best turn ever, which is shocking when you think How great a performance he gives through the "crazy people". "It is a perfect role for Ham, which carries with our memories of the charisma of Don Drapper, dark reinforced charisma, and then takes this kind of character in a new direction-smoking, sad and sensitive," Powers advocated. "He was never better."

Not all critics felt good about "your friends and neighbors", though. "This series is" occasionally "a lot of things, including a disappointing predictable entry into the always stable middle -aged white man in the genre of crime and inconsistent soft criticism of the same genre, but not a single one," Daniel Finberg wrote in Hollywood reporter. Ben Travers expressed a similar feeling in IndiewireWriting, "" Your friends and neighbors "has not been omitted because it does not fall into greatness. It is omitted because it doesn't try so hard to be great. "

At the end of Season 1 of "Your Friends and Neighbors", something unexpected happens. After the Cup is accused of killing Sam's ex-husband to find out that the boy died with suicide and Sam lying to a crime to secure the payment of life insurance-he receives a call from his old boss in the firm's capital, Jackec Bailey. They need it to secure a bill in Switzerland, so a pile, cleared by any murder charges, agrees to return if he gets a huge stake in the company. Instead of flying to Switzerland with Jackec, however, the Cup is breaking into his house and stealing a work of art, so we will clearly see him deeper into his criminal lifestyle next season.

"He learned something really vital, because when I started writing (the first season), I wanted a bunch to be presented with the keys to his old life back at the end," said creator and shower Athonnan Troper in an interview with post-final Diversity. He continued:

"And after Everything He's Been Through, He's SITTING IN HIS OLD BOSS 'Office Being Offered Back Everything He's Lost, and the Last Few Months Could Literally Just A Bad Fever Dream. Wealth and his status, and his Future and His Financial Security. His experience to the point who he's much stricter negotiator.

However, Troper was careful to say that the pile would not "break bad", so to speak. "Cop will never become a criminal king. We do not go down the road Walter White," he said in the interview. "So, it will never be to build a big criminal enterprise. But what is it is the risk and reward relationship, and to feel alive and do what he is at least saying in his mind - what is the exit strategy? Now, we just caught him after a season at the moment he realized what he was no would be but I don't think he still realized what he was is It will be. "

"Your Friends and Neighbors" are available to be transferred to Apple TV+ now, and there is still no premiere date for Season 2.
