Why is Friends so popular?
The iconic theme tune promises, "I'll be there for you," and for younger audiences, Friends truly lives up to that, always just a click away on streaming platforms like Netflix, with endless episodes to binge-watch. Interestingly, the majority of viewers catching up on demand – a whopping four in five – are doing so on their mobile phones.
Friends first hit TV screens in 1994 – four years before Google even existed – yet its current popularity owes much to today’s online, on-demand audience.
According to research, young people are deeply immersed in the digital world, spending an average of three hours a day online.
