The central friendship between the titular lawyers really pulls it together.
And, honestly, I’m sad there’s not more.
Meyer and Gosselaar makebuddy comedylook effortless.
It’s easy to get engrossed in the life-long friendship between Jared and Peter.
While some comedies struggle to find their footing in writing or characterization,Franklin & Bashhits the ground running.
Jared and Peter are, perhaps, some ofthe most charming television charactersever put to screen.
Jared’sterse relationship with his fellow lawyer fathermakes for heart-wrenching subplots.
And Peter’s Cassanova persona is quickly revealed to be a cover for his absolute lover-boy nature.
Gosselaar and Meyer also have fantastic chemistry withFranklin & Bash’sensemble cast.
Featured in the first three seasons, their subplots are consistently some of the most humorous in the series.
Carmen’s past as a felon and Pindar’s hypochondriac nature haunt them both.
And Jared and Peter are quick to help in whatever ways they can.
The four essentially serve as adysfunctional found family.
And it takes little convincing to believe how deeply they care for one another.
Damien functions as the straight man to balance Franklin and Bash’s wacky antics.
And though characters in-universe relentlessly bully him,Franklin & Bashthe series would fall apart without him.
Reed Diamond is essentially givinga masterclass in buffoonary.
Damien looses his cool no less than once an episode and it’s funny every time.
Admittedly,Franklin & Bashmight not be for everyone.
In short,Franklin & Bashis a lot better than it really has any right to be.
