Adults is Friends of the Z generation

Adultsnew series on Disney+, photographs a specific moment of transition. That labile border in which you are no longer teenagers, but you are not even fully trained, in which the things of the small lose of interest and those of the greats seem too complicated. A passage that we all go through, who soon taking on the responsibilities that adult life requires and who, instead, referring to them.

It is in this gray area that the protagonists of the Show conceived by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw and already renamed the Friends from the Generation Z. And, in all respects, it is. Except that this time the protagonists Billie (Lucy Freyer), Issa (Amita Rao), Paul Bake (Jack Inanen), Antoin (Owen Thiele) and the home owner Samir (Malik Elassal) they all live together Because you know, they are no longer the nineties, and not everyone can afford an apartment in the center of New York as Monica and the others of the legendary series.

Adultswhat is it about

So the team of Adults It is rooted in Queens, under the same roof, struggling with love and precariousness, work interviews and roasted chickens to be demonstrated by knowing how to prepare, in an attempt to fully enjoy an existence without Nobody gives you the instruction booklet. Perhaps some advice or just a small help, perhaps from an old teacher (in the role the Charlie Cox of Daredevil) who will be able to illuminate you on the national health system or parents who will allow you to live alone with your friends in their home.

The air that you breathe within the walls of Adults It is the desire for independence and at the same time the fear of growing. In addition to the magnificent feeling of when you have the awareness of not having assumed yet the form or identity that we will carry with all our life, when the potential in front of you are infinite, but there is a constant thrill behind the back that makes you ask if you can transform yourself From chrysalis to butterfly.

The bold and capricious humor of the protagonists

Meanwhile, of course, free rein to chaos. The same that the protagonists channeled, that the Kronengold and Shaw showrunners have tried to make the public as attractive as possible. Ironic, even unbearable Just as their best friends would be unbearableenriching the dialogues of references and pop culture, so much so that it will make Adults A product not only contemporary, but immersed in the contemporary. That comes out of the schemes when it characterizes the characters by not framing them immediately, but granting them that they are still decomposed, sometimes childish, irritating and, why not, capricious. In perfect evolution with their life pathwhich in the eight episodes translates into an unbridled race in search of themselves, but also to the infinite opportunities that you can be offered and that must be seized on the fly.

All this translates into a comedy made in sequences unleashed between ketamine ponies doses and unlikely friendship with a sociopathic stabbing. In a freedom that does not seek correctness, but he knows how to be also impertinentwho plays with social movements, gender equality, fluidity, without ever being dogmatic still respectful. A container that soaked the episodes of modernity by preserving, indeed even finding the formula of traditional sitcoms to which a more structured seriality had not recently left space and of which Adults It is reappointed with the freshness and arrogance that can belong to young people. A show in which laughter is insured thanks to the follies – even improbable – of its protagonists. Which brings a little to that confused and kaleidoscopic parenthesis that we all cross and in which it is fun to get lost a little longer.
