FX's 'Adults' revives the essence of buddy comedies like 'Friends' but with a contemporary twist. Set in a big city, it chronicles the lives of five friends who navigate adulthood's pressures, such as finances and relationships, while maintaining a sense of youthful humor. Despite their often foolish decisions, the characters are endearingly relatable, encouraging viewers to root for them even in their most absurd moments. Through clever dialogue and a modern lens, 'Adults' brings a fresh perspective to the age-old struggle of growing up.
The success of 'Adults' comes down to casting: the five main characters have won me over enough that I was willing to go on their admittedly idiotic journeys.
This funny question sums up the thrust of 'Adults': Do you remember when the plan on a Saturday was just 'Park'? It captures the essence of adulthood.
