Apple TV’s Your Friends & Neighbors is essentially two shows in one.
There’s a crime story about a disgraced hedge fund manager from Westchester, New York, who develops a taste for robbing his rich neighbors. Then there’s drama about the hardships and dissatisfactions of middle age, no matter how comfortable it’s made by obscene wealth.
In its second season, Jonathan Tropper’s series (streaming Apr. 3) struggles to strike a consistent balance between its intertwined parts, resulting in a return engagement that’s frequently captivating if ultimately too strained and schizophrenic to fully justify its continued existence.
