If you take one look at Buzzfeed, you will see at least three articles written in the past six months with something along the lines of “21 times Friends was super problematic” or “Why Ross Gellar is the worst”.

However, it's safe to say that my expectations were knocked off their pedestal as Doctor Sleep proved to be a new-found example on how to write a good horror sequel.
