Trending TV – Adults, Season One and Grenfell Unexposed

Adults Season One

Adults This is similar to the Gen Z or TikTok versions of Friends. This sitcom portrays the chaos of young adulthood – broke, aimless and overanalytical – and is both cringeworthy as well as oddly relatable. Samir, his oversharing housemates and their stumbling through life in outer Queens cling to rituals like’mind wipe’ and ‘house rules, while chasing jobs and sex. The film has some moments of charm, although it is trying a bit too hard to be current. It’s watchable but not worth bingeing. Disney+ offers streaming.

Grenfell Uncovered

Grenfell Uncovered This is a powerful, raw and emotional documentary which reveals the chain of corporate greed and regulatory indifference that led to the June 2017 disaster. Laide Sadik delivers 100 minutes of anger, grief and gut-wrenching testimonies through interviews with survivors, firemen, dedicated journalist Peter Apps as well as harrowing footage of the Grenfell Fire. The film gives voice to the families who are still waiting for accountability and names those people and policies responsible for letting small cost-savings measures override human life. It’s the film’s restraint that makes it so powerful. It doesn’t shout, it doesn’t sensationalise. Instead, it lays out all of the facts with frightening clarity. Netflix’s must-watch.
