Apple TV+’s newest dark dramedy, Your Friends & Neighbors, wastes no time pulling audiences into its twisted world. Within the show’s first minutes, Andrew “Coop” Cooper — played by Jon Hamm — wakes up on the floor next to a corpse. No explanation. No warning. Just blood, panic, and silence. The victim’s identity? Completely unknown. The cause of death? Undisclosed. And Coop’s reaction? He starts cleaning.
So… did he kill them?
Not so fast.
Before answers arrive, the series yanks us four months into the past, introducing Coop as a disgraced hedge fund manager with nowhere to go but down. Following a one-night stand that derails his career, Coop finds himself divorced, jobless, and quickly losing grip on the only world he ever knew. He does what many wouldn’t dare: breaks into a neighbor’s home and steals a luxury watch.
That petty theft sets off a chain reaction — one that may or may not end in murder.
Who Died in Your Friends & Neighbors?
What makes Your Friends & Neighbors so addictive is the ambiguity. Coop isn’t innocent. But is he a killer? Could the body belong to a neighbor? A thief? A partner in crime gone rogue? And if he didn’t do it, why tamper with the scene?
The show plays with tension beautifully. Even in the moments where Coop seems vulnerable or remorseful, there’s always something beneath the surface. That’s what makes the mystery tick. He could be the victim of circumstance. Or he could be the architect of something much darker.
As the series moves forward, the dead body isn’t just a plot device — it’s a ticking clock. Every decision Coop makes now feels like a step closer to that bloody moment on the floor. Whether he’s pawning off another stolen good or trying to mend ties with his ex-wife (Amanda Peet) and secret lover (Olivia Munn), the audience knows where this road leads… or thinks they do.
Final Thoughts on Your Friends & Neighbors
