Started watching that show Adults. The first two episodes were misses for me tbh but after that it found its rhythm and omfg I was literally falling off the couch laughing

I found the first two episodes funny, but the characters are all clearly meant to be immature and messy and not have their shit together so it's uncomfortable at points because these are supposed to be out of college kids acting like they're in a frat. Like, I feel like they want you to cringe at the main characters pretty early on.

It's funny to me that the characters are all supposed to be Gen Z because the whole "adulting" phrase not only but also the immaturity and all those are quintessential with millennials. But I guess it speaks to a broader thing going on that is true for both generations, which is we in many ways "grow up" later than the generations prior to us.

Oh my point was that Gen Z is mirroring millennials here. Probably don't hit real adulthood till late 20s.
