- New Year’s Eve is the very last day fans can binge-watch Friends on Netflix.
- They’ll have to wait until May before they can stream the beloved New York City life and dating sitcom again on HBO Max.
- Friends fans took to Twitter to brace for the withdrawals.
To true Friends fans, very little in life cuts as deep as that final panning shot of Monica’s apartment in the series finale, resting on that yellow picture frame around the peephole on her door.The show’s disappearance from Netflixis bringing on the same feels.
Judging from the devastation and panic they’re expressing on Twitter today, a lot of them might be choosing to spend time with “Friends” overtheir
friends this New Year’s Eve.
And who can blame them? It’s their last chance to stream the show until May as the franchise moves from Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) to AT & T’s (NYSE: T) WarnerMedia.
Here are all five stages of grief Friends fans are going through today:
1. Denial That ‘Friends’ Is Gone
One fan advised denial as the best coping strategy.
Another openly indulged in denial, tweeting a video of Chandler rubbing his temples and repeating, “No! No! No! ”
2. Anger at Netflix
Others went straight to anger, and tweeted GIFs of Ross and Rachel making crude hand gestures he and Monica invented when they were kids.
GIFs of the crude hand gesture was a common theme of the anger copers.
3. Bargaining with the Loss of ‘Friends’
Many Friends fans chose to cope by bargaining. “At least I can binge it today! It’ll stream again – eventually – waaaahhh! ”
Another bargained by suggesting US fans can still stream it with the help of a VPN requesting the stream from an overseas IP address:
