Jon Hamm became well-known and received critical acclaim for his role as Don Draper. Now, he’s starring in the Apple TV+ series Your Friends & Neighbors, which has become a streaming hit – even inspiring a popular meme – with the release of its second season.
According to FlixPatrol, the TV show is currently the most-watched show globally. It reached the No. 1 spot after the premiere of its second season on April 3, 2026. This dark comedy and crime drama is popular in many countries, including Argentina, Australia, Canada, and Greece. In the U.S., it’s also the top-ranked show.
What Is Your Friends & Neighbors About?
The series Your Friends & Neighbors centers around Andrew “Coop” Cooper (Jon Hamm), a divorced financial manager who turns to stealing from people he knows after losing his job. Amanda Peet plays his ex-wife, Mel, and Olivia Munn is Mel’s friend and Coop’s sometimes-girlfriend.
Your Friends & Neighbors isn’t widely known right now, but the strong start of its second season on streaming suggests it could be gaining a larger audience. This renewed interest might be due to a memorable scene from the first season that unexpectedly turned Jon Hamm into a popular internet meme.
A clip of Jon Hamm joyfully dancing with his eyes closed has become a popular meme on TikTok and Instagram, originating from Season 1, Episode 8 of the show, “When Did We Become These People?” However, the scene itself is actually quite poignant, showing his character, Coop, attempting to escape his troubles with a night out.
Your Friends & Neighbors Won Over Critics and Viewers
Many shows succeed despite poor reviews, while others boast high critic scores but struggle to attract viewers. However, the Apple TV show in question has managed to appeal to both critics and audiences. It currently holds an 81% rating from critics and an 82% rating from viewers on Rotten Tomatoes.
Season 2 is performing better than the first, with an 84% rating on Rotten Tomatoes compared to Season 1’s 79%. Aramide Tinubu of Variety noted that the new season is more complex, exploring themes of wealth, the consequences of dishonesty, and a pattern of success for affluent white men despite their failures.
Season 2 of Your Friends & Neighbors will have 10 episodes, up from 9 in Season 1. This renewal shows Apple TV has confidence in the show, giving it more opportunity to attract viewers, create viral moments, and potentially become one of the best dark comedies of the decade.
