Nearly a decade after Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen teamed up so well to play a married couple in “Neighbors” (2014) and the cleverly titled “Neighbors 2” (2016), they make for one of the best comedic duos of the year playing Friends With Benefits in the clever, funny, insightful and immediately addictive Apple TV+ series “Platonic.”
Not THOSE types of benefits. One of the things that makes “Platonic” so refreshing and original is that while it has a vibe reminiscent of “When Harry Met Sally…,” the huge difference is there’s zero chance Byrne’s Sylvia and Rogen’s Will would ever, ever hook up. The benefit here for Will and Sylvia is that they bring out the best in each other — when they’re not bringing out the worst in each other.
