I have little evidence to back that up other than the exceptional recent season 1 of Shrinking. But Platonic’s opening season has recently wrapped and it’s almost as good.
Created by Francesca Delbanco and Nicholas Stoller (who has worked on an excellent string of productions that include Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Get Him to the Greek, Neighbors, and The Muppets), the show is about former best friends played by the hard-not-to-love pair Seth Rogen and Rose Byrne, who reconnect in mid life. They aren’t particularly good for each other, as each episode brings new high jinx that don’t exactly help their progression into mature adulthood.
Rogen is what drew me to Platonic, but I really like Byrne too.
4 out of 5 stars
On a tangent, here’s my 13 favorite Seth Rogen movies:
13. This is the End (2013)
12. The Interview (2014)
11. Pineapple Express (2008)
10. Funny People (2009)
09. You, Me, and Dupree (2006)
08. Sausage Party (2016)
07. Neighbors (2014)
06. Superbad (2007)
05. Step Brothers (2008)
04. Knocked Up (2007)
03. The 40-Year-Old Virgin (2005)
02. Donnie Darko (2001)
01. Anchorman (2004)
Pretty impressive resume!
