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.

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 Michael Savio Slant Magazine 6d

In its second season, the series finds its groove as a winsome hangout comedy. Go to Full Review Saloni Gajjar AV Club 6d

Adults prioritizes its humor above all, so even when the subject matter of season two feels played out, the execution still makes it a delight. The show's charming quintet further cements its status as TV’s strongest and funniest Gen Z sitcom. Go to Full Review Candice Lim Pop Culture Happy Hour (NPR Podcast) 5d
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) 5d
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 Michel Ghanem The Cut 5d
There are enough “comedies” on television that are actually dramas in disguise or maybe just aren’t that funny. Adults... actually commits to making you laugh out loud. Go to Full Review Read all reviews

Holden H @RT14439412 10h A show that never misses, with hilarious plot points that always make you laugh. While the show is a full on a comedic masterpiece, the character growth and development is impressive making you fall in love with the characters and the journeys they have. See more R T @RT83914910 17h The single best season of TV I have watched in years See more Saundra P @Saundra454 17h As someone who lived with 8 people in a large city in the 2010s, it's a fantastic show. apparently people think its an astroturf but nah genuinely a great show if you have friends. See more Joy O @joyyO0 1d Even better than the first season loveeee! See more Hottesome T @RT39831744 1d Gen Z growing pains in the modern world with offbeat as well as onbeat humor. Easy to keep up with in the fast paced world of Queens, NY if you expand your mind and are open to trying new things like getting maced with your younger self, problem solving in the work place with a colorful language and the power of chosen family. See more Natalie J @RT30613943 1d OH MY GOD GET ISSA OFF THE SHOW. Never stops yapping and sucking all the charisma out of the room. All the characters are insufferable but at least Anton and the two characters with two names (the main one and the one that’s supposed to be annoying) are actually funny and charming enough actors to pull it off. Idk why everyone is glazing this, it makes me want to die even though it has genuinely funny moments. Did you know these people are the best and closest and coolest friends ever? Did you? DID YOU? I couldn’t tell by the way they’re always quipping and touching each other everywhere. If this show ditched Issa and any of the characters would SHUT UP for two consecutive seconds it would actually be a good show. See more Read all reviews
