If you want a show about the uncertainty and everyday complications of your twenties, start with Broad City, The Bold Type, Twenties, or Girls. Each approaches early adulthood differently: through chaotic friendship, career and identity, city life, or the unsettled years after college. These are varied recommendations, not a ranked list.
Shows about post-college life and your twenties
Broad City: messy friendship and everyday problems
Abbi and Ilana are explicitly described as twenty-somethings in Hulu’s US catalog listing. The comedy follows the pair through the scrapes and absurdities of daily life, making it a natural choice if you want a light, irreverent hangout show centered on friendship rather than a polished coming-of-age story. Hulu lists five seasons and 50 episodes.

The Bold Type: career, friendship, and identity
Hulu’s US description frames this series around a rising generation of women supporting one another as they explore sexuality, identity, love, and fashion. Choose it for a mix of workplace ambition and close friendship, rather than a story focused only on romance. Hulu lists five seasons and 52 episodes.
Twenties: friendship and identity in Los Angeles
Twenties follows a queer Black woman and her two straight friends as they navigate life in their twenties in Los Angeles, according to Paramount+’s series description. Its premise makes it a direct fit for viewers looking for stories about friendship, identity, and finding a footing in a big city.

Girls: the awkward uncertainty after college
HBO’s press materials describe Girls as a half-hour series about women in their twenties floundering after college. Its appeal is less about offering a tidy guide to adulthood and more about watching characters make uncertain, sometimes uncomfortable choices. It suits viewers who prefer a sharper dramedy to a reassuring or straightforwardly aspirational story. HBO’s series materials provide the official overview.
How to choose a show for the stage of life you want to watch
- Want a light friendship comedy? Try Broad City.
- Want work life alongside relationships and identity? Try The Bold Type.
- Want city life and a close-knit friend group? Try Twenties.
- Want awkward post-college uncertainty? Try Girls.
Those distinctions matter: stories set in school or college can be enjoyable, but they are not interchangeable with shows about first jobs, post-college confusion, or life in your twenties. If you are looking for younger, school-centered coming-of-age stories instead, Netflix Tudum’s teen-show recommendations include Forever and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. Netflix notes that recommendations may vary by region.
