Seth Rogen has been working at being cool for years. It's not an easy job, which gets complicated as you get older. The character Rogan plays in his new series, Platonic, also thinks she's cool, but at the same time is deeply concerned about the moment when patheticism will overshadow her vocality.

At 41, Rogen is on the thin line of generational change, on the subtle blurring between pathetic and vocal, but still continues to do the same—now on television.
In the new comedy series, he collaborates with Rose Byrne (who co-starred with him in the movie "Neighbors"), and uses the most loathsome debate in human culture - can a man and a woman be platonic friends? To create a flowing series about some age crisis, relationships, marriage and adolescence.

"Platonic" is worth watching just to see what the transitional phase of one of Hollywood's coolest people looks like, just before he becomes an aging fussy.
