Friends is one of the most popular sitcoms of all time and ran for over 10 years before its finale in 2004, but since the show arrived on Netflix UK at the end of 2017, having been available in the US for many months, it has attracted a brand new - and much more sensitive - audience.
Millennial viewers who were too young to see the show when it first aired have been calling the show out on Twitter for what they deem to be some very problematic plot points.
The treatment of LGBT characters left some feeling 'uncomfortable', from the way Chandler was paranoid about being seen as a gay man, to his cruel jokes about his cross-dressing father.
The sitcom has also been slammed for its lack of diversity as it has few non-white characters despite being set in the multi-cultural melting pot of New York.
