WatchTree Recommendations
If you’re still feeling the sting of middle‑school missteps from PEN15, you’ve got two fresh picks to keep the cringe‑and‑catharsis train rolling. First up is Adults, a brand‑new series that trades lockers for lofts, but retains the same painfully honest humor as a group of twenty‑something New Yorkers stumble through careers, relationships, and the ever‑confusing world of adulting. Then there’s Dying for Sex, a bold dramedy that pushes the envelope even further, marrying dark comedy with an unapologetic exploration of desire, illness, and friendship—exactly the kind of fearless storytelling that made PEN15 a fan favorite.
Both titles complement PEN15’s signature blend of humor and heart, yet each adds its own twist: Adults offers a contemporary, post‑college perspective that feels like the natural next chapter after junior high, while Dying for Sex provides a raw, emotionally resonant experience that proves comedy can thrive even in the darkest of circumstances. Together they form a quartet of shows that span the spectrum from fresh, relatable cringe to daring, audience‑loving drama, ensuring there’s something for every fan craving more of that unmistakable, adult‑centric edge.
Middle school as it really happened. Maya Erskine and Anna Konkle star in this adult comedy, playing versions of themselves as thirteen-year-old outcasts in the year 2000, surrounded by actual thirteen-year-olds, where the best day of your life can turn into your worst with the stroke of a gel pen.
These recommendations branch out from PEN15 with similar tone, themes, genre elements, or audience appeal.
