A New York City apartment holds together a group of twenty-somethings who know each other far too well, and that closeness is both the source of the comedy and the thing that keeps complicating everyone's attempts to actually grow up. The humor runs on stubborn habits and small humiliations rather than big blowups, and the pacing is relaxed enough to let those moments land without rushing past them.
Codependence here is not a flaw to be fixed so much as a weather system the characters live inside. Someone's bad morning becomes everyone's problem; a private embarrassment gets witnessed by exactly the wrong person. The tone stays affectionate even when the behavior is not, which means the friction between people who genuinely care about each other carries real warmth alongside the cringe.

A twenty-something ensemble comedy centering on codependent housemates navigating adulthood together despite their flaws.
Start with the closest match, then check out two more shows with a similar feel, pace, mood, or theme.
Former childhood best friends reconnect as adults and try to get past the rift that led to their falling out.
Platonic keeps the same cozy, codependent-adjacent comfort as Adults, with two friends trying to reconnect while their adult lives keep interrupting. The jokes land in awkward reunions, old resentments, and everyday social friction, and the warmth stays conversational rather than cynical.
Black, plus-size and newly single, Mavis unexpectedly finds herself having to rebuild her life after putting all her eggs in one man's basket, but she's determined to not only survive but thrive with the support of her chosen family.
Survival of the Thickest brings Adults-style apartment-level closeness into New York nightlife, where chosen family has to rebuild after betrayal. Expect workplace and roommate tension, big feelings handled with humor, and a steady push through real consequences, with the vibe warmer and more outwardly celebratory than Adults.
Explores the next stage in young people's lives after high school. Five work-obsessed twenty-somethings professionals living in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood focused on achieving career success and find time for personal happiness.
Not Suitable for Work shares Adults’ focus on twenty-something messiness, but it channels it through office pressure and Manhattan ambition. The comedy grows from accumulating early-career choices and workplace chaos, with characters juggling personal happiness and professional obsession, moving faster and darker than Adults.
