FX's Adults strategically leans into comparisons with Girls, presenting a modern take on 20-somethings navigating life in New York City. It features a character who embodies the new generation's media-savvy approach, referencing the classic 'voice of a generation' cliche. Created by Rebecca Shaw and Ben Kronengold, the show merges tribute and satire, setting itself apart from earlier representations of young adulthood by critically engaging with contemporary issues and cultural references. It showcases the absurd humor and self-awareness characteristic of the latest wave of comedic storytelling.
The new series abbreviates this cliche as V of our G, applying it to a media-savvy young man who becomes the envy of his peers by going public with workplace allegations.
Equal parts tribute and sendup, Adults cleverly heralds the arrival of a new generation anointing its own voices, skewering its own pieties, and distinguishing itself from millennial pop culture.
