----------

Friends: Season 6 is definitely one of the best so far. It maintains a lot of good jokes, and there are a lot of entertaining episodes. Friends: Season 6 isn't a perfect season, since every show has seasons with some bad episodes, but overall, it's one of the most balanced seasons of Friends so far.

4.5/5
