FRIENDS Finally Leaving Netflix: One of the most loved sitcoms of all time, FRIENDS, has always been a comfort show for millions. Whether people put it on while eating, chatting with friends, or simply relaxing, the wedseries has remained a constant favourite. However, fans are now shocked as the show is set to leave Netflix on December 30, causing a huge wave of reactions online. Not only FRIENDS but The Big Bang Theory is also expected to exit Netflix.
FRIENDS is currently streaming on Netflix in India and a few other countries, but the platform has confirmed that it will be removed soon. This news has left many viewers upset, with several calling it a “personal loss”. Fans took to X (formerly Twitter) to express their disappointment. One user wrote, “Hi Netflix, I saw that FRIENDS is leaving the platform and I just wanted to say how much this show means to me. I watch it when I’m happy, sad, stressed or celebrating. It’s one of my small joys.” Another fan said, “You cannot take FRIENDS off Netflix. It is my antidepressant at night. I watch it every single day.” Some even threatened to cancel their Netflix subscription if the show is removed. A viewer commented, “Sorry, but Netflix needs to sort this out. Why are they removing FRIENDS and The Big Bang Theory? I’m cancelling my subscription as soon as they leave.”
