The Z-Suite

I wanted to like this comedy. There is potential for a great workplace comedy that acknowledges the strengths and weaknesses of both generations represented.

Unfortunately, it begins with a completely farcical premise, and it is woefully written with little plot progression in the first two episodes. The lack of forward momentum in the storylines could be forgiven if the time was instead used to develop the characters at all, but alas, that did not happen either.

The talents of their leads is wasted by simply trotting out outdated Gen-Z slang that the elder generation "couldn't possibly understand" despite being 5-10 years past its expiration date. On top of that, every character is completely oblivious and exhibits some form of buffoonery and not in a "slapstick" way. There doesn't seem to be a coherent vision for what this sitcom wants or is trying to become. It lacks the ability to entertain in the loudest way possible.

This is just trash and the only reason it's trash is because of the Kriska girl she's the worst character I mens come on they make her a ceo yuck I'm 26 and yeah just no this character is no in every way. I do have to say I absolutely love all the other characters they are the best lol but this kriska girl omg eww I was so looking forward to seeing a Lauren graham show again because she hasn't had nearly enough screen time since Gilmore girls I'm saddened to see her character pushed aside for a beta that makes our age group look bad omg please make that kriska character be less in the next season I think it'll get so much better without her. Lauren graham can do this show herself she doesn't need the kriska person in the show.

I'm upset because I love Lauren Graham and she is an executive producer on the show. So she is responsible for this. The characters are like cartoon characters: we are being hit over the head with the fact that the Gen z crowd are entitled and constantly spouting reasons to cancel people, and the older crowd are out of touch and too old to do their jobs properly. Who exactly is supposed to be the audience for this show? You are insulting both generations. And for people who love Lauren Graham, and might be in her age range, seeing her get fired in the first episode for being old isn't a thrill. It made me want to turn the show off immediately. It perpetuates the misconception that if you are older than the age of 50 you should be fired because you are "out of touch." Why, Lauren? Why would you do that? I want to keep watching to see if somehow her character jumps in and learns about technology so that she can be successful still in her field, but I can't stand these characters. There is nothing sympathetic about anyone on this show, so I can't watch the show long enough to find out if it gets better. I am just so disappointed. And I hate leaving a bad review because I am sure she worked very hard on the show. But you made unsympathetic characters and you insulted everyone over the age of 50 and everyone under the age of 25. So I guess your audience is the people in between?

I love you so much Lauren. I would watch anything you do. But this show was so so so bad! I hope you still do a second season but please hire new writers. The writing is horrible! Some jokes are funny! But overall the show is very flat. The characters aren't clear. Specially the they girl. The blonde one I don't remember her name. Like what's her character, who is she? And that secretary or personal assistant woman at the office. She is a terrible actress. I don't blame her. The material is so bad. But still she should have done something with it. And the black actress who is playing the CEO is so so so boring!!!

Ugh!!.. I'm so sad!

I really wanted to enjoy this because I love Lauren Graham and Mark McKinney, but it was one of the most instantly awful comedies I've ever seen. Series populated by legitimate monsters of characters like The Righteous Gemstones, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, and Veep understand that there has to be SOMETHING there to make the audience interested in what happens next. Some insight into human flaws that makes these characters interesting, without asking you to sympathize with them. This show, meanwhile, presents you with a cast of characters who haven't done anything nearly as harmful, but holds them in far greater contempt. Every character is a shrill caricature of someone the writers hate. It's all very surface level and obvious humor. If you're going to be that unoriginal, you should at least be charming. Unbearable.
