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!!!!!

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.

ADULTS is an easygoing comedy that plays charitably with Gen Z tropes without having to resort to generational barb slinging. It's full of cute and genuine moments but never forgets that it's a comedy at heart with a youthful sort of optimism that lingers throughout each episode. There's plenty of laughs and a nice assortment of personalities to enjoy (what a great cast).

There's also only 8 episodes out for this first drop, and for me, well, it was over too soon (a rewatch is in my future). So, in conclusion, I definitely wouldn't complain if it got a second season, and I really hope it does.

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.

Can streaming services give new shows more than eight 20-30 minute episodes for gods sake?! Give shows the opportunity to be great! Sitcoms were not meant to be this short they should have 20-25 episodes like they used to. Adults does a lot with the little time it was given and I hope it doesn't get cancelled before it can really get going. I want more! The characters are fun and engaging, acting is great, it didn't try too hard with the gen z humor to the point of being cringe, and it has a lot of potential that I would be disappointed to see go to waste just because streaming services are stupid. Give us a second season with more episodes PLEASE.
