Adults

Adults (2025) depicts young adults navigating identity, relationships, and the transition into maturity within a secular, urban environment, focusing on self-discovery and friendship. From a Christian perspective, the show's explicit portrayal of diverse sexual orientations, gender fluidity, and same-sex romantic relationships, including implied physical intimacy, directly contradicts biblical teachings on marriage and sexual ethics, which define marriage as exclusively between one man and one woman and sex as reserved for within that covenant. The characters' pursuit of being 'good people' while operating from 'bad ideas' suggests a relativistic moral framework, where personal truth and self-expression may supersede objective moral standards or traditional values. The confirmed illegal substance use ('Acid Night') and frequent profanity further conflict with biblical calls to holiness, self-control, and wholesome speech. While the show's emphasis on co-dependency and 'showing up for each other' aligns with Christian values of fellowship and love for one's neighbor, the context of these relationships often involves choices that diverge from a biblical worldview. There is no clear evidence of themes of spiritual redemption, sacrifice, forgiveness, or grace; instead, characters seem to find affirmation and resolution primarily through peer support and personal validation. Family values appear loosely portrayed, with characters living independently and references suggesting potential neglect of parental relationships, which diverges from the biblical emphasis on honoring parents and strong family units. Faith representation is absent, and while there's no direct anti-Christian content within the show, external commentary hinting at antagonism towards traditional Christian viewpoints on sexuality suggests a cultural context that Christian parents should be aware of.
