The initial two episodes of “Your Friends & Neighbors” debuted on Apple TV+ on 11th April and have swiftly climbed to the top of their rankings, displacing Ben Stiller’s popular show “Severance” into the second position.

The third installment comes out this Friday, 18th of April, with a fresh one released every week up until the 30th of May.

The show has garnered significant acclaim, boasting a commendable rating of 83% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 42 reviews when this article was penned.

The Playlist referred to it as an “irresistibly engaging marathon viewing,” and Variety commended Hamm for his “outstanding portrayal of a man contemplating the ruins of his identity.

The reviewer’s sharp and humorous take on “Breaking Bad” is found in the comments of “Your Friends & Neighbors”, although it occasionally falters, it still boasts a captivating central figure played by Jon Hamm, according to the site’s critical consensus.

Ahead of season one’s release, Apple already renewed the show for a second instalment.

For many years, I’ve nurtured the concept of this TV series in my mind, and finally seeing it come to fruition has been a wonderful experience. Collaborating with Jon Hamm, Connie Tavel, and Craig Gillespie has been an exhilarating journey as we’ve worked together to breathe life into our collective vision,” shared Jonathan Tropper, the showrunner.

The backing from Apple has been astonishingly great, and it’s truly remarkable that they greenlit a second season even before our first episode aired. This early endorsement is not only a testament to the exceptional talent of our cast, but also to the tireless efforts of the crew, writers, directors, and producers who have all contributed significantly to making this show what it is today. We’re thrilled for everyone to witness it!
