''All About Adam'' is a Filipino television series about four young men who live together in one house and deal with their respective careers. Jeremy, Drew, Josh and Paulo maneuver their lives as each experiences ambition, betrayal, secrecy, money, fame, hot beautiful women and sex.

Premise

In early 2010, writer/producer/director Julius Roden set a meeting with independent film artists Jude Faith and Chris Lucas. The intention was to create a boy band, but the focus soon shifted to the creation of a new television series. Roden thought about making a television movie about five bachelors with different careers, inspired by the early 1990s hit Filipino sitcom ''Palibhasa Lalake''. However, the producer thought it would be better to create an extended television series rather than a single movie.

Roden proposed the title "Adam's Apple", but Faith and Lucas did not think the audience would take that title seriously. Thus, "Adam's Crib" was suggested. Then, followed "Hot Shots", then "Men's Locker", "Men's Secret", "Men's Room", "Men's CR" and they ended up with "Adam's Crib".

Nevertheless, Julius Roden was still not happy with it. He thought it sounded like the Filipino rock band "Barbie's Cradle". So he finally changed it to "All About Adam".

The auditions began and several actors tried to get lead parts. The starring role was first offered to Victor Aliwalas but the actor's manager didn't allow him due to conflict in schedules. Then, it was offered to Joem Bascon. However, he also was unavailable.

Finally, Roden found Migui Moreno and filming for the pilot began.

Synopsis

In the pilot episode, Josh and Jeremy are introduced as underground heavy metal musicians hoping to get a record deal from a big time producer while Paulo and Drew get involved with a mysterious vixen and her connection to the suicide case of Christian Jacob that Sgt. Yoga Sabarita and Inspector Laura Marasigan are investigating.

The two flamboyant Adams deny their sexual engagement with the mysterious vixen, but the police officers remained skeptical.
