Supermodel Gigi Hadid's unexpected cameo in Mindy Kaling's comedy series 'Not Suitable for Work' has fans in a frenzy. The third episode of the show, streaming on Disney+, features Hadid as Catherine, a furious girlfriend who confronts her on-screen investment banker boyfriend, played by Jay Ellis. The scene, which has viewers raving, showcases Hadid's acting prowess and adds a surprising element to the series.
What makes this cameo even more intriguing is the show's premise. 'Not Suitable for Work' follows the lives of five 20-somethings in New York, navigating career struggles and personal chaos. The series, with its mix of humor and relatable themes, has already garnered a dedicated fan base, with some viewers claiming they're 'obsessed' and 'can't stop watching'.
However, the show has also received mixed reviews. Critics have noted that while the series has potential, it currently falls short of being truly memorable. The Guardian gave it two stars, criticizing the scripts for lacking the sparkle of 'Friends' dialogue. Variety, on the other hand, acknowledged hints of a sharper show, but ultimately described the initial episodes as just glimmers of a more biting take on young adulthood in the city.
Despite the mixed reviews, the show's unique blend of humor and relatable characters has clearly resonated with many viewers. The surprise appearance of a supermodel in a scripted role is a testament to the show's willingness to experiment and push boundaries, which might just be what it needs to stand out in a crowded TV landscape.
