Friends with Better Lives has the kind of reputation that outlasts any streaming deal — a 7/10 audience rating from 53 viewers doesn't fade. Availability varies by region and changes regularly, so check the TV Butler options below to find the fastest way to watch in your country.

Friends with Better Lives follows a path that stands out in a crowded field. A comedy about six friends at different stages in their lives – married, divorced, newly engaged and single – who are outwardly happy, but secretly questioning if their friends have it better. Andi and Bobby are happily married with two kids but at times long for the days they had less responsibility and more fun; Will is newly single and preaching the bachelor lifestyle, but still pining for his ex-wife; Jules and Lowell are high on their passionate new relationship; and Kate has a successful career but may take a swan dive into the L.A. River when she finds out her last remaining single friend, Jules, just got engaged. James Van Der Beek and Kevin Connolly lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It aired in 2014.

If you need a comedy that actually makes you laugh rather than just smile politely, Friends with Better Lives is a strong candidate — fans of Coupling will recognise the sensibility immediately. It works alone or with company.
