"This show thought it was very progressive," she told the Times.
Lisa Kudrow just gave an interview to the Times in the UK to promote her new Netflix series, Space Force - and in the conversation, she addressed a common criticism about the lack of diversity on the sitcom that made her famous, Friends.

It all started when Lisa was asked how Friends would be different if it were made in 2020.
"It would not be an all-white cast, for sure," Lisa said.
"But, to me, [Friends] should be looked at as a time capsule, not for what they did wrong."
Despite these diversity issues, Lisa explained why she thinks the show is still so relevant today:
Yes, it's a fun comedy, but it's also about people connecting, and part of what appeals about it now is that young people have this unconscious nostalgia for personal connection. And not just right now during the pandemic, but before that.
