Recently, Friends was added to Netflix in the UK, and millennials were astounded by the problematic elements that persisted for 10 seasons.
Perhaps it was a sign of the times or a lack of self-awareness on the part of the writers, but many of the storylines, situations and characters on Friends were problematic.
One of the most consistent themes running through all 10 seasons of Friends was fat shaming Monica.
If you’re a millennial, you probably binge-watched Friends growing up (or later on via Netflix).
