TVLine's Performer Of The Week: Lucy Freyer
Lucy Freyer was a riot as Billie faced the harsh reality of getting older in Season 2 of Adults - see why she's TVLine's Performer of the Week.
TVLine's Performer of the Week spotlight shines on Lucy Freyer from the FXX comedy, Adults. While the ensemble cast shines throughout the show, Freyer's performance in Season 2's second episode truly stood out. In this episode, Billie, played by Freyer, experiences an existential crisis when she realizes she's not as young as she used to be.
Despite being only 25, Billie feels ancient as she tracks down the current owner of her old fake ID, receiving pity looks from young party-goers who marvel at her connection to events like 9/11. With a frantic edge in her voice, Freyer's Billie insists, "I think I'd like it!" as she strives to prove her youth and vitality. Dressed in lace-up pants, Billie informs the young kids that 25 is the age Maxim deems the hottest to be, a claim they fail to recognize.
Freyer's determination to cling to her youth is evident as she attempts to charm the young party-goers with awkward dance moves and sloppy flirting techniques. However, her night out takes a turn for the worse when she gets pepper-sprayed by an intoxicated Billie lamenting her age to her friends. Yet, Billie's years of wisdom prove useful, and Freyer delivers a gracious tenderness to Billie's epilogue as she recognizes the advantages of being a bit older.
While all five of the Adults stars deserve recognition for their excellent Season 2, Freyer's performance shines the brightest in this episode.
