‘THE Z-SUITE’: LAUREN GRAHAM’S NEW COMEDY TV GIG
Using the generation gap as fodder, The Z-Suite relies heavily on this gap to form its comedy. It also has a beloved TV star in its lead role, which I am sure is in hopes of pulling that audience.
The Z-Suite (2025) Tubi TV Show Review
Celebrated and inspiring are some of the adjectives people use to describe Monica Marks (Lauren Graham). She’s been a maverick in her field of advertising, but now… well, things are about to be a little bit different. 24-year-old Kriska (Madison Shamoun) is Monica’s social media manager and believes her months long employment deserves recognition. Elliot (Spencer Rayshon Stevenson) is a little bit extra, but while working on the social media team Kriska manages, he tends to do what he wants and is rarely on time for their zoom meetings.
Monica’s life changes drastically when she is unceremoniously dismissed from the company she helped foster. This brings in the social media team and the time comes for the generation of work from home to actually walk into the Z-suite and put in their work.
TV SHOW REVIEW | ‘SHIFTING GEARS,’ SEASON ONE FIRST IMPRESSION: A CUTE COMEDY IS LATEST FROM FAN FAVORITE ACTOR
‘THE Z-SUITE’: LAUREN GRAHAM’S NEW COMEDY TV GIG. #LaurenGraham stars in #TheZSuite, a new #Tubi comedy. Share on XLauren Graham is beloved, of course, from Gilmore Girls. Lorelai Gilmore is the most famous and perhaps favorite role she has to her name. In this, she plays the same but also different. It’s an ensemble workplace comedy putting Graham in the boss role over a group of people who are, largely, from another generation. It’s this that is both a strength and weakness. Yes, it does spin some funny comedy as the characters try to communicate and work together through the differences that come with the generation gap. However, this also produces some cringe moments, too. Maybe some of this is simply the writers leaning into these differences and in some sense, poking fun at the stereotypes and both generations.
The show is very trendy and relies on things that are trending to tell its story. This can be fun, but I also don’t think it lends itself to being “timeless” or memorable long term. Regardless of these complaints, the show is fun. The first two episodes clock in at 20 some minutes each, and there will be six more to drop which will constitute the entirety of season one. If you’ve like comedies where the workplace drives it like Breaking In or maybe Superstore (I haven’t see it), then The Z-Suite may be something you want to consider giving a chance.

Content: This one has some innuendo and some “scolding” about words or things that aren’t acceptable anymore. (One is a conversation between people that is about two different things, one is a sexual reference.) There is some profanity, but based on the two episodes, it fits in with the TV-14 rating.
