I really enjoyed the multi PoV that jumped from before to now. I really like when I can start putting the pieces together and realizing the road I was on was wrong and having to shift my thinking.
This group of friends really kinda are the worst. I didn’t really see the ending coming, but it’s such a fulfilling, crazy ending that my love for Detective Scutt’s character was fully formed.
I’m so excited Amblin is developing this into a series. It’ll be PERFECT!

Friends Like These is a thriller about a group of friends. They're all hiding something and over a weekend in the Catskills things erupt. By the end of the weekend, all the secrets are out and someone else is dead. This doesn't count what happened to Alice all those years ago and the events that lead to Alice's death.
This was well crafted. I enjoyed the short POVs and the way the story unfolds. The timeline jumps from the beginning of the weekend, the end and events from the past. So many of these characters do shitty things, but their motives were understandable and while I didn't like their choices, I got why they made them. Also the ending really surprised me. It was well delivered.
