'Laugh out loud' Apple TV+ comedy called modern When Harry Met Sally has returned

Send Push

Apple TV+'s finest comedy series has made its comeback and it's certainly not Ted Lasso.

This overlooked sitcom about unexpected companions brings together two comedy icons for a brilliantly crafted series that shines a light on grown-up friendships with hilarious consequences.

Bad Neighbours co-stars Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen feature as Sylvia and Will, former college pals who reunite after Will's marriage falls apart.

Platonic's debut season launched in 2023 and chronicled Sylvia's existential crisis following her decision to abandon her legal career. Meanwhile, Will battles to keep his drinking establishment from going under.

Whilst their renewed bond compels them to face their problems and plunge into fresh obstacles, they frequently discover themselves encouraging each other's most damaging habits, reports the Mirror.

The programme became a sensation with both viewers and reviewers, achieving an extraordinary 96 per cent Rotten Tomatoes rating, whilst audiences awarded the inaugural season a remarkable 75 per cent.

The second season has now finally made its return with even more chuckles and twists as Will and Sylvia both transform their professional lives and personal identities.

Should the first season of Platonic have escaped your attention, consider these glowing recommendations from devotees who unanimously believe it deserves your time. Only two episodes of the second season have dropped, leaving ample opportunity to get up to speed with the initial run.

One five-star Google review gushed: "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 to pass the time or just sit down for an enjoyable watching experience."

And another penned: "Hilarious! I just came across this series on Apple TV as I'm already loving Seth's other series "The Studio" it's phenomenal.

"Of course Seth and Rose are comic gold geniuses in this series! I've laughed out loud every episode.

"The writing and characters are brilliant thanks in part to Francesca Delbanco who created as well as produced the series. I really hope there is a season 2 and 3!!!"

A third shared their view of the series: "Wonderful. My kid and I are constantly debating whether men and women can be friends and referencing [When] Harry Met Sally or Sleepless [in Seattle].

"We loved Platonic, it revisits Harry Met Sally and says yes they can be friends, but with limits. Seth and Rose have a really great chemistry."

Platonic serves up laughs and life lessons akin to When Harry Met Sally, sans the romance, making it an ideal half-hour comedy to relax with after a busy day.

Platonic season 2 continues Wednesdays on Apple TV+.
