If you’re into streaming chances are that you know something pretty big went down on TV last night. Not sure what we’re talking about? It has to do with an iconic 1990s TV show and a group of friends. Yes, we’re talking about THE Friends reunion. It’s now available on HBO Max in the U.S. and through Crave in Canada. And naturally people have already checked it out because the first round of reviews and reactions are in.

Firstly we think this pic is pretty sweet. It’s a great time capsule of the show from start to end and then, of course, the reunion.

Might as well take a closer look at how the cast is doing these days.

The most common reaction that we saw is that the reunion definitely got people in their feels.

User @tadfilmy pointed out that Friends is a lot more than a TV show for many viewers.

Of course, people were also loving the Smelly Cat cover by Lisa Kudrow and guest star Lady Gaga.

Now while the reactions were positive for the most part, not everyone was having it. Emily Nussbaum pointed out that things weren’t and aren’t exactly perfect with the show and that the reunion was possibly a little too positive.

Getting a bit more technical, @TVMoJoe pointed out that the release time wasn’t exactly ideal for most folks.

Yet another hot take.

We’ll cap the reactions with probably the most buzzworthy. You know the part where Jennifer Aniston and David Schwimmer said they had feelings for each other in real life? Yeah,  that one really got people.

We didn’t want to give away too many spoilers because we know that some of you still haven’t watched it. But if you’re a fan of Friends you should probably hop on HBO (or Crave in Canada) and check it out. It’s a great way to start the weekend if you’re into the show. With that, enjoy and uh, don’t cry too much.
