In October, Netflix announced it will be getting one of the titles customers have wanted most – Friends. That’s the entire series, and it’s coming on January 1st.
I don’t know how familiar you are with Friends but that’s 10 seasons or 236 episodes or 83 hours. It had a good run, and there’s a good chance you may not simply want to watch the entire thing, but would rather find specific episodes. Netflix understands that, and is trying to help you find your way.
Here’s a new “map” they’re sharing, which may be a good place to start. It includes Mac and C.H.E.E.S.E., so it seems pretty legit.
In case that wasn’t enough, they also compiled these lists:
