In the breezy comedy series Platonic, Seth Rogan and Rose Byrne play former best friends who reconnect years after a falling out.

As they attempt to rebuild their relationship, they find themselves in many a silly and occasionally profound situation.

It's a refreshingly low-stakes premise, and if you're a fan of Rogan and Byrne, and

who among us isn't, you'll probably dig this. The show is back for a second season, so we thought

it would be a great time to revisit our conversation about the series. I'm Linda Holmes.

And I'm Aisha Harris, and today we're talking about the Apple TV Plus series Platonic on Pop Culture

Happy Hour from NPR.

Platonic stars Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen as Sylvia and Will, a pair of former besties whose friendship ended dramatically over a big disagreement.

Now, years later, they reenter each other's lives but as very different people.

Sylvia's a retired lawyer and stay-at-home mom who's feeling the pull to return to work and

questioning her life's purpose.

Meanwhile, Will is reeling from a recent divorce while expanding his brewery business.

The show follows their misadventures as they try to navigate their respective midlife crises

and become friends again.
