Your Friends and Neighbors Apple TV+ Review: Exploring the Heartache in Every Dream Home

It seemed like Jon Hamm was forever going to be Don Draper from Mad Men, but his new role in Your Friends & Neighbors as Andrew “Coop” Cooper might change that. Coop is a jaded Manhattan hedge fund exec in his late 40s who’s starting to wonder if there’s more to life. His marriage is on the rocks, and he’s navigating life with his daughter Tori, son Hunter, and his wife’s new beau, all set in the backdrop of moneyed Westmont Village.

Written by Jonathan Tropper, the show is rich with irony, black humor, and sharp psychological insights. The first episode sets the tone with a witty bar encounter between Coop and Liv, a junior employee at his company. The banter is smart and engaging, giving us a glimpse into Coop’s character.

As the story unfolds, Coop faces personal and professional challenges, leading him down a path of self-discovery and questionable choices. The show cleverly weaves social satire, drama, and dark humor into a compelling narrative that keeps viewers hooked.

Overall, Your Friends & Neighbors is a refreshing take on a midlife crisis story, with Hamm delivering a standout performance as Coop. The show promises an exciting journey filled with twists and turns that will keep audiences entertained and invested in the characters’ fates.
