Book description
Actualmente se recuerda a Friends como un icono de la comedia de los años noventa, cuando empezaba a despuntar la nueva pasión por la ficción televisiva. Pero en 1994, cuando se estrenó la serie, nadie esperaba que tuviera un éxito tan arrollador. Desde sus fulgurantes inicios, pasando por sus altibajos y por el resurgimiento posterior que ha experimentado, Friends ha mantenido un vínculo insólito con su público, que la ve al mismo tiempo como un reflejo de su propia vida y como una ilusionante vía de escape de la realidad cotidiana. En los años transcurridos desde entonces, la serie ha evolucionado de superéxito televisivo a revival nostálgico y, por último, a clásico indiscutible. Ross, Rachel, Monica, Chandler, Joey y Phoebe forman ya parte del panteón de los grandes personajes de la televisión, y sin embargo sus historias siguen teniendo vigencia hoy en día.La periodista Kelsey Miller, especializada en cultura pop, revive los momentos más relevantes de la serie arrojando luz sobre sus elementos más polémicos y examinando las tendencias mundiales a las que dio lugar, como la cultura contemporánea del café o el corte de pelo a lo Rachel que hizo furor en los años noventa. El relato de Miller no solo nos permite entrever cómo se forjaba Friends, sino que sigue el ascenso de sus actores al estrellato y desvela la compleja relación que establecieron con sus personajes. I'll be there for you es la retrospectiva definitiva sobre Friends, no solo para los fans de la serie, sino para cualquiera que se haya preguntado alguna vez por qué esta comedia televisiva tuvo un impacto tan duradero.
