A pilot that becomes more enjoyable with each new viewing
24 November 2015
"TOW Monica Gets A Roommate" is an episode that I didn't enjoy too much on a first viewing, and since then, each additional viewing has been an improvement. It does exactly what a pilot should for a sitcom, whilst being a fairly relaxing episode. We begin to understand our main characters reasonably well, we see Ross's obvious crush on Rachel, Chandler's excessive use of sarcasm in everyday life, Phoebe's oddities and Rachel's spoiled behaviour.

The episode has a particularly nice scene towards the end with Ross and Rachel, a funny opening scene (albeit more in tune with "Seinfeld") and plenty of worthwhile moments throughout.

Worth a watch!
