What to Expect

PremiereLens read

Adults gets its laughs from the distance between trying to be decent and actually behaving that way. Good intentions turn messy in a warm ensemble comedy where romantic missteps and friendship friction supply the trouble. The pace is relaxed and rooted in character, giving awkward behavior room to register without turning every mistake into a major crisis.

Shared space makes those mistakes harder to keep private. Roommates, friends, and couples have to deal with one another beyond a single awkward exchange, and the comedy shifts with each combination of people. New York remains a backdrop rather than a spectacle; the more immediate business is learning how to live together while still figuring out how to act.

Strongest Match

Adults and Platonic make the awkward work of staying close to people you care about funny, with warmth underneath the bad timing and questionable choices. Adults finds that comedy in roommates and young couples sharing city life, while Platonic follows an old friendship back into the complications of marriages, careers, and everyday routines.

Head Girl

DramaComedy

Three Wellington flatmates try to figure out life in their 20s - Flo wants to be a poet, Dee wants to have a good time, and Sadie wants to be perfect. But they seem to be getting in each other's way.

Why this pick

The fun in Adults comes from young adults sharing space and discovering that good intentions do not prevent petty clashes, a pleasure Head Girl also understands. Its three flatmates bring ambition, hedonism, and perfectionism into the same home, making the comedy more intimate and pointed than Adults’ easygoing group hangouts.

Not Suitable for Work

Hulu • Jun 2, 2026

Comedy

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.

View show

Why this pick

Adults and Not Suitable for Work find comedy in young New Yorkers trying to build lives while their choices keep complicating the day. Adults leans on roommate and relationship friction, while Not Suitable for Work adds office demands and career ambition, giving its Manhattan ensemble a busier, more work-focused feel.
