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.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Every generation deserves its own sitcom of likable screwups, and Adults more or less delivers one for Gen-Z with its ensemble of funny and maddening strivers.

While there’s something to be said for a show that doesn’t sanitise the griminess of flat-sharing twenty-somethings, Adults can often be wilfully vulgar. Go to Full Review Lisa Weidenfeld Boston Globe May 30, 2025
The setups are frantic — the show has a manic energy that it has trouble wrangling into effective payoffs. Go to Full Review Karl Quinn The Age (Australia) May 29, 2025
4/5
...[Adults] is hilarious, unhinged, and has plenty to say, for the adults and their elders alike. Go to Full Review Lucy Ballenden Mamamia 3 days ago
The overall story is laced with romance and evolving friendships and all the things that come naturally with living through your twenties in a modern era, all the while pretending as if you have any one clue about life and where it's headed.

Adults wants to grow up and into the kinds of shows it emulates, all while being born from the generation used to swiping right and hash tagging their feelings. Go to Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof Jul 5, 2025

Yes, 'Adults' is quite funny, but I think its writing falls somewhat flat. [Full review in Spanish] Go to Full Review Read all reviews

H H @HHHHHH739 3 days ago OMG people like this show? Poor Gen Z. You're better than this. Its so bad. A walking talking cliche-fest... See more Abbie E @RT36059897 6 days ago Super funny! The characters are ultimately really endearing, and I can see a little bit of my twenty-something self in each of them. See more Ivy R @RT56899003322 Sep 3, 2026 Messy, funny and painfully relatable at times. I wasn't sure about the characters at first, but they really grew on me. See more alex S @Linaalexandria Sep 1, 2026 Unhinged in the best way like these are my friends See more Francesca T @RT78308472 Aug 30, 2026 Love it. I found it hilarious and unhinged.
