Did we really need "Joey" the spin-off?

Joey's character was developed enough, or at least that's what I think. How about you guys?

I think it was too much. We already had ten seasons of Joey Tribbiani. As much as I'd have liked more Friends, I never watched Joey because he was alone, without the other five Friends. It wouldn't have been the same. Plus, by the time I found out about the spin-off, I was already in the part of Season 8 where Joey was in love with Rachel, and I loved that as a relationship so much so that watching him in a committed relationship with Alex or whatever would have been totally unbearable.

I don't think it was necessary. I wish they had developed the character a bit more; for example, be in a relationship and see him as happy as the others were. His job was set, but in the personal aspect he wasn't developed. So maybe if they gave him someone at the end, at least a girlfriend, it would have been set!

Exactly! I mean, "Joey" was super funny, but it was kinda heart-breaking seeing him on his own... Plus, it's not like we wouldn't have imagined a great life for Joey, everyone knew their life continues even if the show ended. I just like to ignore "Joey", lmao XD

Yes, the show was funny, but completely unnecessary. Also, something like Friends, where the six parts make one great thing, can't be seen as the same with one of them only. It was weird and felt different.

But I have to say, I just love Alex.

So unnecessary for me, that I haven't watched yet. Specially because I know Joey mentions his other 5 friends sometimes on the spin-off and that's juts heart-breaking for me.

I have watched a bit of Season 1. But it only made me wanna re-watch Friends again because i missed him together with the others, haha. I don't think this sort of spin off shows ever work out great.

I remember him talking about Chandler and Rachel, only...
