Jun 28, 2018 | Full Review… Matthew Gilbert Boston Globe Top Critic Season five is the best because it's Chandler and Monica trying to keep their relationship under wraps, which improbably stayed funny over the course of fourteen episodes and STILL managed to pay it off with the best episode of the series. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Joe Reid The Atlantic Top Critic Season five had some incredible bits. It also had Emily, but never mind. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Catriona Wightman Digital Spy The writers didn't rush [the Monica and Chandler] relationship to its conclusion...and it's this comedy mined from their sneaking around and trying to keep their relationship a secret that makes Season 5 one of the show's best. Jun 27, 2018 | Full Review… Adam Chitwood Collider David Schwimmer pulls some comedy magic out of Ross' downward spiral. Jun 26, 2018 | Full Review… Louisa Mellor Den of Geek Season 5 showcased the acting ensemble at their peak, making plenty of room for the blend of humor and heartfelt emotion that made the show a hit for 10 seasons.
