How yo doin'?

What’s your favorite TV show or movie? What do you like about it? Intermediate to advanced: Tell us the overall plot. Who are your favourite characters?

If I said: "So no one told you life was gonna be this way", would you already know what TV show I mean? I think so, because we're talking about one of the most famous and greatest shows in television history. The one and only "Friends".
In case that you are from another planet, I will talk about the plot. "Friends" follow the adventures of six New Yorkers who live in big apartments, don't seem to work too much, and spend a lot of time hanging around at a coffee shop called "Central Perk". I remember thinking that life would be that way when I grew up, but it didn't turn up exactly this way. However, I still adore watching this old TV show; maybe it's because each character has a strong distinctive personality that makes them special. When you see a couple of episodes, you get to know them and you can predict their behavior. It's funny to see! Besides, friendship is one of the most important things in life and I like TV shows that highlight that.
I love all the characters, but probably Rachel, Phoebe, and Monica are the ones I enjoy the most.

How you doin'?

I don't think anyone uses yo as a short word for you! There is "ya", you could say "how ya doin'", but I rarely see Joey's written that way.

If I said: "So no one told you life was gonna be this way", would you already know what TV show I mean?

I think so, because we're talking about one of the most famous and greatest shows in television history.

The one and only "Friends".

In case ~~that~~ you are from another planet, I will talk about the plot.

This one's weird. We might say "In the case that ..." if we were being very technical. But in this idiomatic usage, always just "in case". And I think never, in any case, "in case that".

"Friends" follows the adventures of six New Yorkers who live in big apartments, don't seem to work too much, and spend a lot of time hanging around at a coffee shop called "Central Perk".

Friends may be plural, but "Friends" is singular.

I remember thinking that life would be that way when I grew up, but it didn't turn upout exactly this way.

"turn up" - arrive, appear, be discovered. "turn out" - produce a result.

However, I still adore watching this old TV show; maybe it's because each character has a strong distinctive personality that makes them special.

When you see a couple of episodes, you get to know them and you can predict their behavior.

It's funny to see!

Besides, friendship is one of the most important things in life and I like TV shows that highlight that.

Why does Ross, the largest friend, not simply eat the other five?

Thanks a lot for your feedback:)
Ross loves dinosaurs, so eating their friends would feel natural for his character, haha
