Candice Lim: 我认为《成人》这部剧探讨了Z世代的经济困境和人际关系，但它也存在一些问题。这部剧中的角色似乎都来自优渥的家庭，缺乏进取心，而且剧情有时会冒犯别人。尽管如此，我还是喜欢这部剧的化学反应和喜剧节奏。 Kiana Fitzgerald: 我觉得这部剧非常尴尬，但也有一些有趣的时刻。剧中的角色都非常privileged，他们以一种承认自己需要帮助的方式生活。我同意Candice的观点，这部剧愿意表达，拥有朋友并不意味着拥有社区或责任感。 Aisha Harris: 我觉得这部剧和其他情景喜剧一样，一开始化学反应不足，但有些方面让我想起《费城永远阳光灿烂》。剧中关于性侵犯和堕胎的剧情处理得很好，演员阵容也很陌生，这表明他们很重视Instagram，敢于赌一把，启用一群新人，并相信他们之间的化学反应。我认为友谊情景喜剧并没有消亡，只是可能不会以传统的方式呈现。
