Not Suitable for Work(2026)

Not Suitable for Work is a story-based comedy, which means the jokes are built from who these five people are and the choices they keep making, not from isolated gags. Set in Manhattan's Murray Hill neighborhood, it follows twenty-somethings who have organized their entire identities around career success, and the comedy comes from watching that strategy run into everything it cannot account for.

Professional obsession is treated here as both a personality trait and a slow-burn problem. Each character is genuinely driven, which makes the moments when personal life forces its way in feel earned rather than convenient. The Murray Hill setting gives the show a specific texture: young, ambitious, dense with people doing the same thing, which makes the pressure feel collective rather than individual.
