What to Know

Critics Consensus

Even with bold swings and romance off the table, the rambunctious rapport between Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen makes Platonic an ideal relationship comedy.

The show really belongs to Byrne, who is at her best when she plays a woman severely in need of a good time. Go to Full Review Linda Holmes NPR 05/28/2023
While it certainly has emotional ideas that it's playing with, Platonic is mostly happy to be its truest self: a broadly goofy comedy in which a lot of really game actors have a lot of fun. Go to Full Review Ty Burr Ty Burr's Watch List (Substack) 05/27/2023
3/4
The laughs are there and the two stars play extremely well together, liked a mixed-gender Lucy and Ethel. Recommended. Go to Full Review Brooke Obie Black Girl Watching Oct 28

3/5
It's not a revolutionary series that will go down in history, but it does manage to make us have a pleasant, relaxed, and fun time based on a dynamic duo that works, as do most of its jokes and reflections on adult life.
