What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Platonic runs on adult friendship rather than romance, which gives it an unusual comic texture: the grievances are old, the affection is real, and neither one quite cancels the other out. Rekindling a childhood closeness in middle age means negotiating marriages, careers, and the competing loyalties that have quietly accumulated in the years between, and the show finds consistent humor in how awkward that negotiation actually is.

Old grievances do not dissolve cleanly here; they resurface in small, specific moments that keep the dynamic between the two leads genuinely uncomfortable even when it is funny. The urban, adult-life setting grounds everything in low-key recognizable chaos, and the pacing stays conversational, letting character friction do the work that broader comedies hand off to plot.

The Four Seasons

Netflix • May 28, 2026

ComedyRomance

Three suburban couples vacation together each season, but tensions arise when one couple splits up and the husband brings a much younger woman on subsequent trips.

View show

Strongest Match

The Four Seasons keeps the same warm, adult-friendship comedy energy as Platonic, with jokes that come from awkward social adjustments inside a tight group. A seasonal rhythm stretches out the discomfort of absorbing an outsider, so the laughs build from everyday rituals and group pressure, then land softer and stranger than Platonic’s ex-spouse, reconnecting closeness.

Trying

Apple TV • Jul 8, 2026

ComedyDrama

All Jason and Nikki want is a baby, but it's the one thing they just can't have. So, they decide to adopt. With their dysfunctional friends, screwball family, and chaotic lives will the adoption panel think they're ready to be parents?

View show

Why this pick

Trying delivers the same gentle, character-rooted warmth as Platonic, where nervous honesty and everyday friction drive the comedy. Watching a couple juggle bureaucratic mess and tender conversations feels close to Platonic’s awkward reconnection energy, but Trying leans more intimate and domestic, with fewer big-city friend-group tangles.

Survival of the Thickest

Netflix • Jul 2, 2026

ComedyDrama

Black, plus-size and newly single, Mavis unexpectedly finds herself having to rebuild her life after putting all her eggs in one man's basket, but she's determined to not only survive but thrive with the support of her chosen family.

View show

Why this pick

Survival of the Thickest shares Platonic’s feel-good focus on people rebuilding closeness after a rupture, with humor that springs from real social pressure. In New York nightlife and workplace scenes, chosen-family loyalty and roommate tension keep the stakes moving, but the tone turns bolder and darker at times, with more danger and identity-forward jokes.
