Funniest FX Sitcom You're Not Watching Just Got a Second Season – and It Has 100% on RT

Viewers already loved the first season of Adults for its witty, irreverent, and honest portrayal of 20-somethings trying to find their place in the world. Now, creators Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw have released a second season.

The new chapter retains all the elements that made the first season great: the signature absurd humor, lively character chemistry, and rare ability to address serious issues without moralizing.

What Is 'Adults' Season 2 About?

Samir, Billie, Anton, Issa, and Paul Baker are still living together in Samir's house. While the characters were still learning their lessons and getting used to the challenges of adulthood in Season 1, the first signs of maturity are now beginning to appear in their behavior.

But this doesn't mean they've stopped making silly mistakes, in fact, they're finding new, more sophisticated ways to mess up. Anton, an empathetic friend, now uses a web of lies to avoid deep connections and gives his friends questionable advice.

All of the characters are searching for themselves, getting lost again, and trying to understand who they really are, all while balancing their own and others' expectations.

'Adults' Season 2 Is Filled With Lighthearted Humor and Rare Sincerity

The second season of Adults is notable for its lightness and its ability to laugh at life's absurdities. The creators address serious topics, such as the lack of healthy communication and identity crises, without making the narrative tedious.

The characters rarely bicker, and their intertwined personalities are amusing. They don't learn from their mistakes but make new ones, and most importantly, they don't lecture the viewer.

This is a rare quality for a modern sitcom – even in the cult classic Friends, observing the young, vibrant characters often devolved into imposing a moral standard. Here, the writers allow the characters to simply be themselves, quirks and all.

The lack of excessive self-reflection, and, consequently, arrogance, suspicion, and resentment, significantly facilitates the plot and speeds up the pace.

'Adults' Season 2 Is All About Charming Characters and a Cozy Atmosphere

What makes Adults truly unique is the natural chemistry between the actors and the show's remarkable ability to be both comfortable and absurd at the same time.

Malik Elassal, Lucy Freyer, Owen Thiele, Amita Rao, and Jack Innanen form a perfect comedic ensemble, each character living their own full life while together forming a well-oiled comedic machine.

Beneath all the jokes, however, lies genuine empathy for the characters, who, despite their flaws, remain sweet and human.

What Did Critics & Viewers Think of 'Adults' Season 2?
