Platonic: Seth Rogen’s sitcom is the most lovable comedy on TV. It should be as big as Friends

When the time comes to look back on this part of Seth Rogen’s career, The Studio is destined to dominate everything else. This makes perfect sense. He co-created it, co-wrote it, stars as its lead, convinced the great and good of Hollywood to be in it with him and directed it with such a vaulting sense of ambition that, when it won more Emmys than any other comedy in history a few weeks ago, nobody even flinched. The Studio is the show that has cemented Rogen’s status as a comic visionary.

However, if I might offer a small footnote here: Platonic is pretty great, too.
