Platonic

Right now you can watch Platonic in Australia on Apple TV, and in the US on Apple TV — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. Across 2 seasons, the show has had time to find its rhythm and keep it. A 7/10 rating says what the writing already makes obvious: this one works. Rose Byrne's performance alone is worth the time investment. Start it on Apple TV whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

Platonic arrived without much fanfare and built its audience the hard way — through word of mouth. The jokes in Platonic land because the characters underneath them are worth caring about. A platonic pair of former best friends approaching midlife reconnect after a long rift. The duo’s friendship becomes more consuming—and destabilizes their lives in a hilarious way. Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen lead a cast with the timing to make it work. It ran for 2 seasons (2023–2025), and the writing holds up across every one of them. Platonic earns its laughs from character rather than situation, which is why it does not wear thin the way pure farce tends to. It delivers reliably on what it promises, which is more than most of its competition manages.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Platonic. Portlandia is the obvious comparison, but Platonic earns its own place alongside it. The complete run is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Rose Byrne's comic timing carries it through its weaker moments. The kind of comedy you recommend to someone who claims they do not watch much.

Platonic is currently airing new episodes, created by Nicholas Stoller and Francesca Delbanco — so there's no better time to catch up before the story moves forward.
