Friends is one of the most iconic TV shows of all time. Even people who haven't really watched it understand the most famous references, and those who love it would happily watch it on repeat for the rest of their lives. With 236 episodes ready to binge-watch on Netflix, and with so many of these being completely excellent, I have decided to provide you with the best episode of each season.
