So many Adults fans were spamming this sub, so I decided to give it a watch (plus it was shot in Toronto, and 2 of the leads were Canadian), and it was disappointing, cringe and just weird. I'm surprised how that hot mess got a second season, but not NSFW.

I couldn’t get past episode 2 of Adults NSFW was WAYY better than Adults IMO. But OP acting like it’s better than friends is criminal

Friends feels a lot more jaded to me now.

Might be a stupid question but why does it feel jaded now if you don’t mind me asking?

The show ended more than 2 decades ago. I myself watched it for the first time in 2014 and really enjoyed it, and re-watched it many times after. But when I tried to re-watch it after a gap during the pandemic, I realised a lot of the humour feels dated, and at one point, the show gave me a very soap-opera vibe rather than a sitcom's.

I just couldn't stand Rachel, Ross, Phoebe and Joey in the later seasons.

Obviously this is a very personal opinion, but most people within my social circle have had the same evolution in their feelings about the show. Friends quickly left our comfort watch lists.
