The issue of Friends’ lack of diversity has reared its head again of late.
All 10 seasons of Friends, including Friends’ emotional reunion special, are available for streaming with an HBO Max subscription.
So in that way, the issue isn’t so much about the writing that exists, but with the lack of diversity in the writers room.
The cast and creators have responded in different ways over the years, including David Schwimmer’s defense of the series, and now Lisa Kudrow has weighed in with her own point of view.
