Friends is a show I love. It started on NBC 30 years ago. I watch it a lot on HBO Max. I enjoy all the characters: Ross, Rachel, Chandler, Monica, Phoebe, and Joey. But some people think Jennifer Aniston’s character, Rachel, is not so great.

One fan on Reddit said Rachel is not nice. They argue that Rachel often acts selfishly. For example, she wanted a break with Ross but saw another man right after that. This upset Ross.

Rachel has caused problems in Ross’s other relationships too. Sometimes, she seemed spoiled and did not think about others’ feelings.

Even so, I still love Rachel and the show. All 10 seasons of Friends are on HBO Max, and you can see Jennifer Aniston in The Morning Show, which is on Apple TV+.
