(Image credit: Courtesy of HBO Max) Looking for the best Friends episodes ahead of a rewatch? You've picked a good time. This week, HBO Max dropped its long-awaited special, Friends: The Reunion. This unscripted event reunites the Central Perk gang for the first time since they closed the door to Monica’s apartment in 2004. The one-off reunion doesn't continue the story of Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Ross, Chandler, and Joey, but instead looks back at the show’s best moments – it's not bad. What better way to follow up the reunion, then, than by watching the best Friends episodes? All 10 seasons are worth revisiting, certainly, which is a testament to its consistency, but trying to binge all 236 episodes this week is... ambitious. Below, then, we've picked out our 20 best episodes of Friends, so you can stick to the highlights if you fancy a brisk rewatch.
