While there is a lot of competition among available comedies on streaming services these days, I\u2019m gravitating toward one show more than any other. Now, it seems critics agree, giving the returning comedy series a 100% on Rotten Tomatoes with more than a dozen reviews in.<\/p>\n
FX\u2019s Adults<\/a> on the surface may look like a generic comedy with a bunch of zany, Gen Z early-20-somethings hanging out in a house. It\u2019s that, but it\u2019s also extremely funny, even to me, a Millennial one generation ahead. <\/p>\n Season 2 of Adults comes more than a year after season 1, back in May 2025<\/a>, not that far back. We call that a win in the streaming era. FX\/Hulu dropped all episodes of Adults season 2 today, and you can binge it now. I might spread them out a little, however, to prolong how great this season is.<\/p>\n That 100% Rotten Tomatoes review score<\/a> comes with a 97% audience score. It\u2019s a big increase from the 76% critic score and 83% audience score for season 1. And I would say it\u2019s deserved, having seen the entire season already.<\/p>\n Adults has done one interesting, unusual thing in the run-up to season 2. The producers replaced the pilot episode of the whole series. They made a new episode called Marathon Day where the group meets housemate Paul Baker for the first time. But it\u2019s not just a prequel; it\u2019s now listed as season 1 episode 1, shoving back the original pilot, The Window, to episode 2. Even among Adults fans, it\u2019s often agreed upon that The Window put a bad foot forward.<\/p>\n Adults shines in creating memorable characters, with no poor performances in the bunch. It is difficult to make a relatively low-concept series like this work these days \u2014 friends hanging out \u2014 but Adults, including season 2, has made me laugh out loud more times than I can count, even if I\u2019ve moved on from that more chaotic phase of my life. In this season, the characters also have to deal with Gen Alphas, who make them feel old even though they haven\u2019t hit 25. And I can promise you this season has the best Paul Baker content you will ever see across multiple episodes, including the finale.<\/p>\n It\u2019s a great series and one that should run indefinitely, if given the chance. FX has been the home of fantastic comedies over the years, and Adults absolutely deserves a place on that list.<\/p>\n Follow me on Twitter<\/a>, YouTube<\/a>,<\/a> and Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n Pick up my sci-fi novels the Herokiller series<\/a> and The Earthborn Trilogy<\/a>.<\/p>\n
