    Head Girl

    Why this fits: 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.

    The Four Seasons

    IMDb 7.2
    Why this fits

    Adults makes friendship growing pains funny through a close-knit group’s everyday missteps; The Four Seasons brings that group comedy to adult relationships on vacation. Its awkward social humor and generational gaps make the friendships feel more strained and the setting less like a low-key hangout.
