FX's "Adults" is an ensemble comedy series about a group of twenty-somethings in New York trying to be good people, despite being neither "good" nor "people" yet. Samir, Billie, Paul Baker, Issa and Anton are five friends crashing together in Samir's childhood home, where they share their meals, anxieties and, occasionally, toothbrushes. The show puts a slightly heightened twist on the wins, losses and humiliations of starting out in the adult world. Whether they're trying to get ahead at work, navigating the healthcare system, hosting a dinner party or dating in the age of Find My Friends, the group is finding that nothing about the real world is simple, and all their best intentions tend to make things worse. These friends are works-in-progress, brimming with bad ideas and whatever their latest "theory of adulthood" might be. But there's one thing they consistently get right: showing up for each other.

Cements itself as one of the best shows for Gen‑Z 20‑something degenerates who are just trying to figure it all out, one messy decision at a time. Go to Full Review Jared Richards The Age (Australia) 2d
4/5
No longer trying to prove how relevant, cool and unique it is, Adults is a much more assured, funny and charming comedy – a lesson we all learn at some point in our 20s. Go to Full Review Caroline Siede Girl Culture (Substack) 4d
Season two arrives even more confident, with a hang-out vibe I’ve been missing from TV lately. The whole thing is a little bit sweet, a little bit raunchy, and very knowingly ridiculous. Go to Full Review Dustin Rowles Pajiba 3d
It’s very of-the-moment, relatable, and even a little nostalgic for people well outside the target demographic. But it might actually be the best comedy on television. Go to Full Review Candice Lim Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 28
There's something not fully connecting with me there. But I will say, if anything, I do like the chemistry. It reminds me a lot of sitcoms... I think it's most like How I Met Your Mother. Go to Full Review Aisha Harris Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) Aug 28
I wanted it to feel a little bit less derivative of all these other shows...And I do think by the end of the season, it finds its own groove, in a way. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Chris B @Cbaker1990 5h Such a fun ride. The cast works perfectly together. Come on season 3 See more Charity B @Charity606 8h I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this season as much as I did. The characters are still a complete mess, but somehow they feel much more relatable now. Some jokes miss, but when the show is funny, it's really funny. See more jai T @RT95654060 14h Genuinely one of the funniest shows ever. I need season 3 now!!! See more Jamie C @PNKFLAME 17h This show is healing a part of me. I haven’t outright cackled and screamed in unison with a sitcom IN YEARS. I need them to keep making more seasons for the rest of my existence. See more Joseph S @Soulvey 1d Refreshing comedy that finds its stride in a second outing. The chemistry between the character is something to behold and really sets it apart from every other comedy about a group of friends in New York. You end up deeply invested in these people, their highs, and their foibles. And so often, the plot could go one way, but it’s nudged into new territory, carving out its own path off the well-worn sitcom trope path. See more Abbie E @RT36059897 1d Still super funny! Fingers crossed for season 3 renewal. The characters are really endearing, and I can see a little bit of my twenty-something self in each of them. See more Read all reviews
