Like so many shows of this sort, Suitable, premiering with three episodes on June 2, is set in New York. Unlike the boho types of Girls and last year’s Adults, who scrape by in the outer boroughs, however, these pals live in Manhattan’s fratty Murray Hill neighborhood. “I’m not cool enough for Brooklyn,” frets first-year investment banker AJ (Ella Hunt), in a lament as dated as a Sex and the City bisexuality plot. She’s moving in with her best friend, Abby (Avantika), the enterprising assistant of a bratty stylist (Constance Wu). Across the hall are their love interests. Reluctant med student Kel (Nicholas Duvernay) longs to be an actor. Josh (Jack Martin) has the politics of a middle-aged liberal (Obama poster, NPR merch) and the entitlement to use his mogul dad’s clout to get hired by the Anderson-Cooper-esque cable news host (Victor Garber) he idolizes. A bumbling version of a romcom loverboy, Davis (Will Angus) falls hard for AJ, who also happens to work with him.
