The FX comedy series 'Adults' follows five 20-something dumb-dumbs living together in Queens who can’t get out of their own way. That’s it.

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.
