The Z-Suite

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.

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The talents of their leads is wasted by simply trotting out outdated Gen-Z slang that the elder generation "couldn't possibly understand" despite being 5-10 years past its expiration date.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.

Vacuous, plastic, boring beyond belief (and that's just the first 3 minutes).

If a friend were to ask me, I'd say, "Don't waste your time."

What on earth compelled Lauren Graham to sink to this level of dreck?!

Ad agencies are typically staffed - in reality - with very bright, well-educated people who have studied human psychology and are engaged in the business of deception (how else to explain rampant obesity, fat-related illnesses / disease, and the propensity of North Americans to inhale junk food they know - at some level - is exceptionally bad for them).

This sorry excuse for entertainment is not that.

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 started watching this show because Nico Santos is in it and he was in Superstore and did a fabulous job on that show. While Nico and his boss on here are both good, the rest fall flat. This show is not doing anything favorable for the Gen Z crowd. I think anyone watching this show would never hire anybody from this generation the way they're portrayed as lazy, pretentious, entitled spoiled brats. I keep watching thinking it's going to turn around and the Gen Z's snap out of it, but I am thinking it's not going to happen. I'm disappointed because I truly wanted this to be a good show, but it's not.
