In the early 1990s, the socializing sitcom exploded in popularity as Americans collectively agreed that watching attractive, witty 20-something for their daily frustration as they lost their friends' kitchens or share a cup of coffee in the local place is the best way to decompress. Shows like "Living Single", "Seinfeld" and "Friends" were not workplace comedies, dramatic procedures or family focused; They were shows for people who socialize and proved that relative, crucial humor can be found in world situations, such as moving the couch to a staircase for residential buildings or trying to find a car in a parking garage.

The style gained intensity in the 1980s, thanks to Cheers' success, but they were "friends" that really broke the mold as more and more disappointed Geneers entered maturity, which coincides with the desperate search of TV programming "watch". If the slaps were slapped, "Cheers" would be in 1974 The Texas Chain Saw Macers, "Living Single" in 1993 "Black Christmas" of 1974, And "Friends" would be the Formula-definition of Johnon Carpenter's "Halloween". And, just as Halloween launched countless films trying to capture the popularity of the film, studio, streamers, nets and corporations, all desperately trying to find the following "friends".

Before it was fully transmitted, changed the way the audience spent fun, there were many popular social shows - "How I Meet Your Mother", "Big Bang Theory", "New Girl", "Girls" and "Happy End" between them - carrying the torch forward. But in the streaming era, finding the next great "socializing" is seemingly impossible. Is it because monoculture is dead? Is it because socializing now involves moving phones and panic for the 24-hour news cycle? Is it because people no longer associate in real life?

No. This is because streaming does not stimulate growth and its structure, by design, will always kill the following "friends" before even having a chance.

Recently, Prime Video and A24 have released the eight-episode first season of Benito Skinner's "overdraft", while Julu missed all eight episodes of "adults", with FX announces every episode a week in a hybrid model. Created by Rebecca Show and Ben Crongold (who has become viral about their ridiculous initial speech on Yale), "Adults" quickly compared to the messy greatness of HBO's "girls", and the shoot with Ubov is trying to recognize this inevitable comparison, while boldly establishes its unmistakable General Z Voice. The "overhaul", meanwhile, is a college-flown comedy that looks at the lines of the thousand-year-old and General Zhumor, but adopted the model of friends-as defended by low stakes and validation of the inherent anxiety that torments all who entered the adulthood. Both performances can boast of more diverse castes, openly deal with fifth themes, have intelligence senses of humor without the necessary censorship on network television, are more socially aware of the sitcoms that came earlier and have a dynamic ensemble.

Neither the show is trying to be the next "friends", but both plays were created by people who never knew a consciously known world where the "friends" were in the Zeigeist. Theujork Times He even declared the "adults" as "friends" as a new generation - a great honor, but the one who unjustly puts the show on a pedestal he never sought, not unlike Newsuvik declared that time M. Night Chyamalan "Next Spielberg". With only eight episodes of every show available for electricity, there is still no word on whether the series will or will not be restored for Season 2, which is deeply disturbing.

Neither the show's debut season was perfect, but each showed a massive promise and ended up on the enticing rocks that love me more. 20 years ago, these would be guaranteed hits that we would all describe as "friends" like, "Wow, they really found their path around Season 2 or 3." " But in the streaming era, if you are not perfect on the jump, you may be dead in the water - and it's not just how TV works.

Unlike the film, Television storytelling is a constant development. The characters are growing over several episodes and more seasons, audience feedback affects the shifts of the show's focus, and time allows writers' premises to accommodate the groove. The first season of most Television shows are rocky and exactly how the series is remembered later in a row. "Parks and Recreation", "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", and yes, even "friends", have beautiful "first seasons". But instead of leaving the show after a season, broadcasters kept their air shows wisely and allowed them space to be grasped. The Starworth "Friends" Lisa Kudrow even admitted that The fact that the play was broadcast after Seinfeld was huge help In the eyes of the audience toward the show, something that was straightened There is no on a streaming platform.

When the show ends on streaming, you can get a recommendation during the final credits to try something else, or the dreaded auto game will start, but it's not the same as the schedule during limited, alternative options for what to see next. Freedom of choice often means that people get out of that screen and see what they have planned to watch, to overthrow something they already know that they love or direct attention to their phones. Unless two shows are unnecessary against each other - like what we see with "overcoming" and "adults" - shows can rarely help each other like the "Seinfeld" they made with "friends".

In a righteous world, both plays will be restored so far. Benito Skinner, Welli Looking, Mary Beth Barone and Rich Shah will become household names, fans would debate who in their friendly group "E Paul Baker", and everyone would be theorized as Aries Tile - who is on both shows - would juggle his schedule. Instead, we will have to wait as bean counters who only care about "constant growth rates" and basically don't understand what makes great streaming TV Determine the future of both shows, only for the cycle to repeat in a year when they decide once again: "We need to find the following" friends ".

"Overdraft" is available to be broadcast on the premiere video, and the "adults" are on Julu and FX.
