Platonic: Seth Rogen’s sitcom – The Most Lovable Comedy on TV

with A-list guest stars. But despite this, Platonic’s second season is wrapping up, and now is the perfect time to acknowledge that, pound for pound, it may actually be his most enjoyable show.

Platonic is a sitcom about two old friends, Will (played by Rogen) and Sylvia (played by Byrne), navigating the challenges of a platonic friendship between a man and a woman. Their relationship lacks any romantic undertones, but their partners can sometimes question their closeness. The primary issue arises from the co-dependency that has developed over the years, causing them to regress into childish behavior when together.

Despite the seemingly low stakes premise, Platonic offers a refreshing take on friendship dynamics. The show essentially serves as a platform for Rogen and Byrne to showcase their undeniable chemistry and charisma. Rogen plays a familiar character type, while Byrne delivers a performance that steals the show with her impeccable timing and dynamic range of expressions.

The current season of Platonic may be slightly more disjointed than the first, with some plotlines lacking steam. However, Rogen and Byrne continue to shine, making viewers eager to spend more time in their company. The potential for the show to lean into a “will they, won’t they” dynamic is present, but it’s clear that the strength of Platonic lies in maintaining the purity of their friendship.

While Platonic may not receive the same level of attention as Rogen’s other projects, such as The Studio, it offers a unique and compelling viewing experience. The show’s quirky characters and unpredictable storylines set it apart from other comedies in Apple TV’s lineup.

As viewers eagerly anticipate the season finale on October 1st, the hope remains that there will always be a place for both The Studio and Platonic in Rogen’s repertoire. Each show brings something different to the table, showcasing his versatility as a creator and performer. So, while The Studio may be the industry darling, Platonic will always hold a special place in the hearts of those who appreciate its charm and authenticity.
