Netflix shows like Friends: Young & Hungry

Seasons: 5

Created By: David Holden

Starring: Emily Osment, Jonathan Sadowski, Aimee Carrero, Kym Whitley, Rex Lee

As all Friends know particularly well, one of the biggest aspects of the show and what makes it so special all these years later is the relationship between Ross and Rachel. Season after season we hang onto their rollercoaster ride of a relationship from getting together to going on a break to breaking up to having a baby to getting off a plane. It’s that will-they-or-won’t-they that hooks us.

Well, if you love a good rocky romance, you just might have the time of your life watching the Freeform comedy series Young & Hungry. Emily Osment stars in the sitcom as Gabi Diamond, a 20-something chef struggling to make ends meet. When she interviews to be the personal chef for tech millionaire Josh Kaminski (Jonathan Sadowski), she gets much more than she bargained for when she has a one-night stand with her new boss.

Ross and Rachel never had to deal with mixing business and pleasure, but they sure had their fair share of obstacles to overcome, such as a certain 18-page (front and back!) letter. Young & Hungry tracks the high highs and low lows of Gabi and Josh’s wild ride of a relationship, while also mixing in the familiar beats of both a workplace and group-of-friends comedy. Although it skews younger, Friends fans will have no trouble finding laughs here.
