Synopsis
Friends from College (2017) is a Netflix comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Two decades out of Harvard, a tight clique of friends keeps pretending nothing has changed.
The reunion exposes the cracks fast. Novelist Ethan, played by Keegan-Michael Key, has been carrying on a long affair within the group, while his wife Lisa (Cobie Smulders) tries to restart a stalled career. Annie Parisse, Nat Faxon and Fred Savage round out a crowd that rescues and sabotages each other in equal measure. They are nearly forty and acting half that age, and the show knows it.
Created by Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco, the comedy plays meaner than its warm setup suggests — the characters are often awful, and it refuses to apologize for them. Skip it if you want cozy. Lean in if you like your laughs laced with cringe. Stream Friends from College online on iFILM.
