What to Watch on Netflix If You’re Obsessed with ‘Friends’

We all experience symptoms of withdrawal after finishing a series on Netflix. Whether you’re aching for Gossip Girl or still wondering what happened to Lucas and Peyton, we’re here to say: we FEEL your pain. Still, one show that never fails to rip our hearts out when it’s over is Friends. The ghosts of Pheobe Buffay and Joey Tribbiani will leave a void in your day-to-day life that you’ll never be able to fill—but that certainly doesn’t mean we won’t try. So here you go! This is what to watch on Netflix after you finish Friends.

1. How I Met Your Mother

Talk about #squadgoals. How I Met Your Mother has all the quirky friendships you miss so much from the OG Friends crew. The series is without a doubt LEGENDARY.

2. New Girl

Jess and Nick are here to be your rebound after your breakup with Ross and Rachel.

3. That ’70s Show

It’s pretty much Friends if everyone lived with their parents.

4. It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

If you love a group of well-adjusted people living in New York City, you’ll love this show about a group of sociopaths living in Philly.

5. Friends with Benefits

This Netflix original is everything you miss about Ross and Rachel’s rocky relationship.

6. Law and Order: SVU

Okay, we know this one is a little bit of a stretch. But you can’t deny that if Monica and Chandler teamed up they would literally BE Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler (or Nick Ammaro if we’re talking later seasons).

7. Skins

Skins is just Friends with more sex, partying and British accents. Count us in.

8. The Big Bang Theory

Ross Geller would KILL to watch this science-themed comedy.

9. One Tree Hill

Experience all the love you found on Friends but with a lot more drama.
