That inescapable reality givesFriends: The Reuniona vibe thats somehow simultaneously unsentimental and deeply nostalgic.

Or was it last week, when that episode reran on Nickelodeon?

Or is it actually happening now, as I stream this special on HBO Max?

If you want to feel like time is a flat circle, forgetTrue Detective.

Just watchFriends: The Reunion.

(Theres also one semi-eyebrow-raising revelation about the relationship between two cast members.

But critics are not supposed to reveal that, either.)

Youre grateful for the moment with them because you know such moments dont happen often.

Then again, theres always the reruns.
