Review: Mindy Kaling’s 20-Something Rom-Com “Not Suitable for Work”

In the latest series “Not Suitable for Work” premiering on Hulu, Mindy Kaling brings us a delightful mix of romantic comedy and professional ambition, set in the bustling city of New York. The show introduces us to a group of young characters navigating their careers, friendships, and relationships in the fast-paced urban landscape.

We follow the lives of Josh, Davis, and Kel, who share an apartment in one building, while Abby and AJ, college friends, share another. The setting of Murray Hill, an area known for its appeal to recent college graduates and young professionals, adds a fresh backdrop to the familiar New York City scene.

As each character embarks on a new chapter in their career, we see their ambition and drive take center stage. Abby steps into the role of an assistant to a celebrity stylist, Kel explores acting through a teaching position, and Davis immerses himself in the world of finance alongside AJ, under the watchful eye of Bill, aka “the Butcher.”

Amidst the bustling city life, romantic entanglements, and career aspirations, the characters of “Not Suitable for Work” find themselves embarking on a journey of self-discovery and growth. With a nod to classic rom-com landmarks like Katz’s Delicatessen, the show weaves together humor, heartwarming moments, and relatable experiences that will capture the hearts of viewers.
