Friends is huge globally. When I lived in Beijing there was an actual "central perk" replica cafe you could go to, people were crazy about it.
What made it so relatable everywhere was probably how cosmopolitan it was. It was very much not an overtly American show like say, Roseanne.
- defrost 3y agoRelative to your particular bubble - I'm Australian, I've travelled to about two thirds of the 190+ countries on the planet thanks to a career in global scale geophysics and mapping and I've yet to see a single episode of Friends .. I doubt I'd recognise Mathew Perry from a photo array. I'm not especially unique in the circles I know either, I swap a lot of TV episodes with others who have home entertainment NAS systems and it's not a series that gets much discussion - it has its fans, sure .. but its not the kind of thing that broadly hits the "must watch" lists.
