Close Enough

"Close Enough" was created by J. G. Quintel, who is best known as the creator of the highly successful Cartoon Network series "Regular Show." It premiered exclusively on the HBO Max streaming service in 2020. Quintel also voices the main character, Josh.

The series follows a married couple, Josh and Emily, and their young daughter as they navigate the struggles of adulthood and parenting in a Los Angeles duplex. They share their home with their divorced best friends, Alex and Bridgette. Their mundane life constantly devolves into chaotic, surreal situations.

While it retains J.G. Quintel's signature, surreal, unpredictable brand of humor, "Close Enough" is aimed firmly at an adult audience. It deals heavily with millennial anxieties, marriage, and the realities of raising a child rather than the workplace slacker dynamics of "Regular Show." The characters also age in real-time.

While the main characters from "Regular Show" do not officially cross over into the "Close Enough" universe, J.G. Quintel includes many visual easter eggs. Fans will notice similar background characters, voice actors, and the general art style bridging both shows. The creative DNA is unmistakably shared between the two.
