Adults Needs More Room to Grow
Briefly

'Adults', a new sitcom from FX, follows a group of young roommates in Queens. Despite its humor and engaging moments, the show falls short in character development. Notably, Annabelle's critique of Paul Baker exemplifies the series' challenge: with just eight episodes for character evolution, Paul comes off as overly nice without depth. The show has potential with solid performances and playful storytelling, yet the brevity of its first season limits the intimacy and relatability that yellow-stakes hangout sitcoms usually thrive on, reminiscent of classics like 'New Girl' or 'Friends.'
Adults, while filled with humor and charm, struggles with character development in its first season, leaving some characters feeling underexplored and one-dimensional.
The show features strong performances and whimsical humor, yet the limited number of episodes hinders deeper character exploration that is typically expected in the sitcom genre.
