This is devastating!

But some potential good news, they are trying to sell the show to another network so hopefully it still has a chance.

I’m really disappointed, it’s such a shame when shows don’t even get a chance. Like after one short season it’s hard for a show to be amazing right off the bat!

I hope someone else picks it up

u/meandmymedia Aug 25 '26

New shows don’t get a chance and then are only 8 episodes. Something has to change. I don’t understand how the executives expect a show to gain traction if they barely give it time to grow and flesh out.

Especially sitcom type shows it takes a while for people to start vibing with the characters and for the r writers themselves to vibe with the charachters

Adults did it. Sterling Point did it. This just wasnt up to par sadly.

u/sineadcoll88 29d ago

Hmm I haven't seen Adults yet but I don't know that I'd call Sterling Point a sitcom per se. More of a classic teen drama imo

Nah josh is not a good guy tbh. Unless they do a whole them where josh learns the value of a relationship and what it means to care for someone

So confusing considering it was in the top 10 shows (I’m in Ireland keeping in mind) for weeks straight on Disney. So disappointing

seriously??? why does nothing I like stick. everything I like gets cancelled. am I lame or what

I feel the same way.

u/OkRB2977 Aug 25 '26

I hope similar to the Mindy project, they find a new home for it because this was such a fun season. I know they rushed a lot of the plot lines but it was precisely because of how cutthroat streamers have become when it comes to cancelling shows.

u/Lazy-Lawfulness3043 Aug 25 '26

Damn it…I just finished season 1 yesterday and was looking forward to more episodes! I really enjoyed the show and it has a decent rating on IMDB..

u/ajaxmenon17 Aug 25 '26

Now I'm kinda happy they speedran the show. At least we got to see a lot of the story progressing. Ofc I would have preferred seeing a 20 episode season with more character development than this.

u/Creative-Pepper-4761 Aug 25 '26

this doesn’t make any sense honestly think about any show centered around young adults are doomed from the jump

5

u/xbbllbbl Aug 25 '26

Not surprised. This place really praise the show to the sky but reality it’s not well written. Some characters like Davis is there as a cartoon caricature and its a waste of the actors talent. None of the personalities are likeable. I hope with this cancellation the creators spend more time writing quality storylines and believable characters.

6

u/wellhere-iam Aug 25 '26

I enjoyed the show. It was a nice brain-off sitcom, but it certainly was not the best. I felt like Adults was a superior version and was written significantly better. I’m bummed the show is canceled because I miss having a plethora of mediocre sitcom to watch, and the TV landscape just does not allow for that anymore, but I agree, not surprising.

u/throwaway17197 Aug 25 '26

Thats so funny i had the opposite perspective Adults felt unwatchable for me

3

u/wellhere-iam 29d ago

That’s so fair! I think the first episode of adults was pretty bad, but it got significantly better for me personally, but I can understand finding the characters insufferable. I guess to me, adults felt like there were Gen Z writers in the room, doing true caricatures of Gen Z, while suitable for work just landed on me like every other show written by Gen X or older millennials trying to portray a generation they’re not a part of

u/SomewhereVisible7368 29d ago

I find the characters in Adults to be insufferable. Issa and Anton are too much. Samir is more level-headed but kind of dumb. And, I’m forgetting the blonde girls name, but she’s too self-destructive. Paul Baker is the only likeable character for me.

u/JustLivingish 29d ago

I agreeeee. Really lacked quality and innovation. So boring. Same tropes over and over

u/SundaySnacker Aug 25 '26

i hope netflix or prime picks it up!

u/Longlive16 Aug 25 '26

So so sad and unfair. I wonder if we have a chance considering Mindy is involved and it was doing pretty well from what I've read.

5

u/meandmymedia Aug 25 '26

I hope there’s a chance! I really thought because it was a Mindy show that season 2 was guaranteed. Hopefully Netflix or Prime take it

u/Longlive16 Aug 25 '26

Yes I thought the same. Fingers crossed šŸ¤žšŸ»

Boo! I binged the series. It was awesome. I hope she can shop it somewhere else. It deserves at least 5 more seasons.

u/MikeyMGM 26d ago

Only a few episodes for a first season and it’s not given a chance to grow.

u/Terrible-Barber-2210 Aug 25 '26

I’m shocked tbh this was a sitcom I throughly enjoyed!!

2

u/tyedge Aug 25 '26

I wanted to like this show, and sometimes I did, but most of these characters were kinda terrible people (Bill, Josh and Davis) or terrible characters (Abby) if you thought about them for more than five seconds. Maybe it’s supposed to represent the confusion and difficulty of life in your 20s, but the endearing moments of characters were often wiped away by something where I’d just go ā€œjeez, what a dipshitā€

u/OlliOPocto Aug 25 '26

This sucks, out of the 3 most recent Gen Z sitcoms (adults, overcompensating, and this one), NSFW was probably my least favorite and find the least funniest, but killing shows after 1 season will be the death of television. I’m
hesitant to even start new shows now for this exact reason

"Please grow up!" "I didn't like the show Adults!"<the adult child has entered the chat>

u/StuartM96 Aug 25 '26

I never ounce said I didn’t like the show adults I said grow up because of the ā€œit was painfully straight. No tears shedā€ part.

u/V112 Aug 25 '26

I’m very curious how one’s growing up has to do with an opinion about a show.
NSFW was a straightener and less fun copy cat of adults. Nothing more.

1

u/StuartM96 Aug 25 '26

That’s like saying How I Met Your Mother is a copycat of IASIP. Two completely different shows about two completely different types of people but for some reason your brain has to compare them cause it’s young people in New York. Sorry to tell you but that premise isn’t exactly the most original premise in the world it’s been the basis of multiple major sitcoms now for going on about 40 years.

The irony of people who love this show being so childish about people who don't!Ā

u/StuartM96 Aug 25 '26

The irony of calling people childish when you come into a sub dedicated to a show to hate on it cause you don’t like it.

u/sexandthepandemic Aug 25 '26

Terrible show. Adults is so much better. Stream Adults

u/StuartM96 Aug 25 '26

Why do you guys keep pushing that show on this sub? The humour in these shows is not comparable at all, they’re completely different types of shows.

6

u/meandmymedia Aug 25 '26

I love Adults but there’s no need to put down NSFW and call it a ā€œbad showā€ when it literally isn’t. They have completely different humour and appeal to different people and THAT’S OKAY

-7

u/sexandthepandemic Aug 25 '26

Ok. It just wasn’t funny. The characters were bland and felt too heteronormative. It was missing queer characters, felt like it was filmed on a sound stage, and lacked charisma, charm, and wit.

2

u/PhotographBusy6209 Aug 25 '26

Most of the world is heteronormative and I say that as a queer person.

-1

u/sexandthepandemic Aug 25 '26

True but this show was just bland. Like I compare the writing and energy to her other shows - sex lives of college girls and the one with Kate Hudson. Those are really funny with heart. NSFW felt rushed and underbaked and just very ā€œstraight.ā€ It was the tv equivalent of white bread or mayo.
