FX Coming-of-Age Comedy Needs to Mature

FX Coming-of-Age Comedy Needs to Mature
SHARE

The new FX sitcom “Adults” is a familiar tale of young people navigating life in a big city, reminiscent of popular shows like “Friends” and “Girls.” Created by Rebecca Shaw and Ben Kronengold, the series follows a group of twentysomethings living together in Queens, New York. The characters, including Samir, Billie, Issa, and Anton, are portrayed as a somewhat generic group of post-collegiate individuals struggling with the challenges of early adulthood.

While “Adults” attempts to position itself as a defining show for Gen Z, it falls short in creating unique and compelling characters. The lack of distinct personalities and dynamics within the group leaves the audience wanting more depth and development. The series touches on typical themes of youth, such as job interviews, relationships, and financial struggles, but fails to offer a fresh perspective on these experiences.

One of the missed opportunities in “Adults” is the setting of Queens, a diverse borough rarely depicted on screen. The characters’ lack of engagement with their surroundings, as well as the absence of Samir’s parents, adds to the overall sense of missed potential in the show. The series focuses more on gimmicky bits and humorous situations rather than delving into the deeper complexities of its characters’ lives.

Despite its shortcomings, “Adults” captures the essence of urban aimlessness and uncertainty that many young adults face in today’s world. The show’s mix of cartoonish farce and mundane problems reflects the unpredictability and challenges of early adulthood. While the first season may struggle to find its footing, there is potential for the characters to evolve and the show to carve out its own identity in future episodes.

Overall, “Adults” offers a light-hearted and entertaining take on the trials and tribulations of young adulthood. With the first two episodes premiering on FX and the full season streaming on Hulu, viewers can decide for themselves if this Gen Z-centric comedy has what it takes to stand out in a crowded TV landscape.
