Adults

Honestly it feels like getting on board a plane right before it takes off. The biggest issue with the show is simply that there isn't more of it, I would've watched for hours on end. It's so rare the find a show as irreverently funny and sentimentally sweet at the same time, but somehow this balances both masterfully. Some of the funniest comedy I've seen in a decade, a real spiritual successor to the kind of heightened, absurdist situational comedy that made the likes of 30 Rock, Always Sunny, and Broad City so successful. It's not trying to be Friends, so don't go in with that expectation, this is its own thing and it's wonderful. Episodes 2, 3, 6, 7 and 8 had me on the floor scream laughing, if FX doesn't renew this for a season two there will be hell to pay!!!!!

I can't imagine anyone actually relating to these characters. The writing is so cringe and unrealistic a lot of times.

I don't know anyone in their 20s that talks like any of these people. Token characters like Anton. A random cameo by Julia Fox. It says a lot that celebrities have hyped this show. Just out of touch people thinking that the majority of young people are like this. It all seems less like it's for Gen-Z and more like it's for people who are chronically online. Felt like I was watching a random Netflix show.

Hope that the actors get traction from this show, but I don't see the show getting renewed past 2 seasons tops.

Didn't expect to fall so hard for Adults, but here we are. This FX comedy about five twenty-somethings sharing a house in Queens is the most I've laughed-and cringed-in ages. It captures the messiness of early adulthood with a blend of absurd humor and genuine emotion. The cast-Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Jack Innanen, Amita Rao, and Owen Thiele-bring their characters to life with performances that are both hilarious and deeply relatable. The show hits its stride in Episode 6, "Roast Chicken," where a dinner party spirals into chaos, featuring Charlie Cox's unforgettable guest appearance. Despite its zany moments, Adults doesn't shy away from the real struggles of growing up, making it a standout in the coming-of-age genre. It's a must-watch for anyone navigating the wild ride of adulthood.

I think so many sitcoms are pitched now as being "like Friends for Gen Z" but it's hard to find a show that actually understands what made Friends so captivating. I found Adults to be laugh out loud funny and it truly felt like it was written by people in their 20s who understand what it's like to be entering adulthood in this decade. Most importantly, I think it really captured friendships and the kind of odd groups you often find yourself in right out of college. I think this show will really find its footing in the next seasons and we'll begin to feel really attached to the characters. I put it on expecting to just watch a few episodes but I ended up binging the whole thing.

I was not expecting this show to bring the joke-a-second hilarity that it did. Adults somehow manages to balance uproarious laughs with heartfelt warmth. Where has this cast been hiding? The chemistry is electric. Samir and Paul Baker are stand outs. This is a comedy that hits its stride and never looks back, with a group of characters that is easy to love. My biggest complaint is I wish we got longer episodes to really spend time with this group of misfits. If you're looking for a show that captures our moment I highly recommend FX's Adults. It feels like Friends meets Always Sunny. A must watch.
