Carefree college life is over for Sophia, Daphne, Lou, Raviva and Miles, and it's time to put their lofty goals, dreams and hopes for a bright future into action. But what happens when, a year after graduation, the five friends encounter a road to success that's littered with dead-end jobs, terrible bosses and romantic mistakes? They stick together, that's what -- old friends who establish a newfound camaraderie as they experience all the highs and lows that come with adulthood. Life is about living, so in that sense, Sophia, Daphne, Lou, Raviva and Miles can't complain that they're underemployed.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Michelle Ang proves a likable lead in this cast of fresh faces, but Underemployed is unconvincing as a depiction of Millennial blues and not funny enough to make up for the lack of authenticity.

Like many a 23-year-old before it, it's both full of potential and low on follow-through. Go to Full Review
Riese Bernard Autostraddle 09/01/2020
I laughed quite a bit, I never got bored. But also, as I believe I've mentioned previously -- Sophia Swanson, played by Michelle Ang, is a highlight. Go to Full Review
Jon Lynes Time Out 09/01/2020
While the subject matter feels relevant and zeitgeist-y, the execution leaves a lot to be desired, not least due to the show's huge personality vacuum. The generic, good-looking characters are essentially interchangeable. Go to Full Review
Caroline Preece TV Equals 09/01/2020
This is a strong set-up that builds interesting characters and realistically grim situations. I'm glad Underemployed isn't too depressing, and I'm sure things will soon be looking up for the characters. Go to Full Review
