Review: Vacation Friends and The Chair

This week features two streaming options full of bumbling awkward (and sometimes stupid) scenarios with Vacation Friends on Hulu and The Chair on Netflix.

More about Vacation Friends:

In this raw and raunchy comedy, straight-laced Marcus and Emily are befriended by wild, thrill-seeking partiers Ron and Kyla at a resort in Mexico. Living in the moment, the usually level-headed couple lets loose to enjoy a week of uninhibited fun and debauchery with their new “vacation friends.” Months after their walk on the wild side, Marcus and Emily are horrified when Ron and Kyla show up uninvited at their wedding, creating chaos and proving that what happens on vacation, doesn’t necessarily stay on vacation.

Starring: John Cena, Lil Rel Howery, Yvonne Orji, and Meredith Hagner.

More about The Chair:

The Chair follows Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim (Sandra Oh) as she navigates her new role as the Chair of the English department at prestigious Pembroke University. Ji-Yoon is faced with a unique set of challenges as the first woman to chair the department, and as one of the few staff members of color at the university.

Starring: Sandra Oh, Jay Duplass, Holland Taylor, Bob Balaban, and David Duchovny.
