    Gen Z Written by Millennials? Breaking Down Not Suitable for Work

    Has Mindy Kaling created the next generation's hangout comedy? From Friends and How I Met Your Mother to New Girl, every era seems to have a sitcom that perfectly captures its generation's friendships, workplace struggles, dating disasters, and growing pains.

In this episode of Let's Unravel, we're comparing Not Suitable for Work to some of the most iconic hangout comedies of the last three decades.
