But if “Adults” doesn’t need to do much to establish its premise, the series could certainly do more to distinguish itself within a crowded genre or define its own characters. In both the six episodes provided to critics and the attendant press, there’s a clear attempt to position “Adults” as a Gen Z answer to millennials’ “Girls” or Gen X’s “Friends” — a totemic piece of pop culture that older generations will look to as a youth translator and protagonists’ peers will look back on as a time capsule. Naturally, there’s a reference to Lena Dunham’s classic “voice of a generation” line in the pilot.
Beyond the comedy, the show touches on real-life struggles-trauma, personal growth, and navigating adulthood-with a kind of authenticity that's rare. I felt truly seen. It uses humor and storytelling as a form of art, and honestly, Adults is just that: art.
