Adulting Season 2 Best May 2026

Adulting Season 2 ditches the first season’s quirky “first apartment” charm for a raw, sometimes uncomfortable, exploration of what happens when the training wheels come off. It’s messier, angrier, and far more anxious—which is exactly the point. While it occasionally stumbles into melodrama, this season solidifies the show as one of the most honest depictions of your mid-to-late twenties on television.

Similarly, Chloe’s “crypto-bro boyfriend” storyline is a dated caricature. We get it—NFTs are silly. The jokes land flat and waste Aisha Khan’s comedic timing on a character who is less a person and more a walking meme.

Adulting Season 2: The Hangover After the Glow-Up

Not every risk pays off. The show attempts a #MeToo subplot in the workplace that feels rushed and resolved too neatly (one HR meeting, and the problematic manager simply transfers departments?). For a series priding itself on realism, this arc feels like it belongs on a network drama.

★★★☆☆ (3.5/5)
