Badults was a British sitcom that aired on BBC Three from 2013 to 2014. This show follows the misadventures of three best friends who lived together in a flat. The trio consisted of Matthew Crosby, Tom Parry, and Ben Clark, who were also the creators and writers of the show.

At its core, Badults was a comedy about the struggles of growing up and the mishaps that come along the way. The show starts with the three main characters nearing their 30s and realizing that they have not quite accomplished everything they had hoped for. They are still roommates, still working dead-end jobs, and still trying to figure out life.

Matthew Crosby plays the responsible and level-headed member of the group, who is often forced to clean up the messes made by his two roommates. He works at a museum and takes his job very seriously, often using it as an excuse to avoid the more chaotic situations that his friends get themselves into.

Tom Parry, on the other hand, is the wild card of the group. He is impulsive, reckless, and always looking for a good time. He frequently clashes with Matthew's more cautious approach to life, and his schemes often end up causing trouble for everyone involved.

Finally, Ben Clark rounds out the trio as the socially awkward and easily influenced member of the group. He is often the butt of their jokes and is constantly trying to fit in with his cooler roommates. He works at a comic book store and is a bit of a nerd, which sometimes leads to embarrassing situations.

Throughout the show's two seasons, the trio gets into a series of hijinks, including accidentally stealing a baby, getting into a paintball tournament, and trying to impress a girl by pretending to be rich. The show's humor is often raunchy and absurd, and the characters frequently find themselves in ridiculous situations.

One of the show's standout features is its use of flashbacks to tell its stories. Whenever the characters get into a sticky situation, the show will cut away to a flashback that explains how they got there. This technique adds to the show's comedic tone and allows for some fun visual gags.

Another highlight of Badults is the ensemble of recurring characters that the trio interacts with throughout the series. These characters include a quirky landlord, a grumpy bartender, and a rich playboy who the trio is always trying to impress. Each of these characters adds to the show's humor and helps to flesh out the world in which the trio lives.

Overall, Badults was a funny and irreverent sitcom that provided a fresh take on the classic coming-of-age story. While it only lasted for two seasons, it has since gained a cult following among fans of British comedy. The show's witty writing and talented cast make it a must-watch for anyone looking for a good laugh.
