The survey was attended by criticism of reputable publications as The Hollywood Reporter, Goldderby, Deen Of Geek, Rolling Stone. Opinions were divided: someone's favorite hero became Chandler, someone called Phoebe's better heroine, and someone generally suggested to give the palm of the championship undeservedly forgotten tsype and mercy.
For Phoebe in the performance of Lisa Kudroo his voices gave critics from NPR:
Phoebe always seemed to be a "weak link" - neither a special family, no full-fledged work, the desire to become an artist and the complete lack of talent, and I always thought how smartly and thin Kudroo plays the heroine with, let's say that by unconventional intelligence.
For Joey, their votes gave critics from Monsters & Critics and IndieWire editions, choosing a character because of the on-screen charisma Matt Leblan.
For "undeservedly forgotten," the Goldderby portal critics voted, noting that the "long-playing joke" with their presence in the life of the main characters always very harmoniously fit into the plot. And the critic of The Hollywood Reporter Daniel Finberg joined the rows of animal lovers, saying that the best character of "friends" is, is quite obvious, the monkey Ross, Marseille.
Chandler Bing won the hearts of critics from Rolling Stone, The A.V. Club, Give ME My Remote:
I even have no applicant for second place - only Chandler Bing. Ross too nodik, Rachel too egoist, Phoebe too crazy, Monica is too nervous, and Joey I never liked it - so I always watched the series only because of the character Matthew Perry with his perfect self-irony.
And, finally, even "too much" Ross managed to attract several votes to his side - the best character of "friends" called him critics of Vox and IndieWire editions, separately noting that this is exclusively the merit of David Schwimer.
The prize for the best acting game, I would give David Schwimmer because of how the amazing tragic a plot arch he was able to give Ross. Only an actor with talent, sincerity, self-irony and empathy of Schwimer could create such a character. Yes, perhaps the viewers hated Ross, but without the skill of David, they would cease to watch "friends" at all.
Let in defining the best hero of the "friends" of the voice of critics and divided, one thing is clear: the worst, according to the results of this informal vote, were Monica and Rachel, who did not remember any of the critics in a positive key.
