Even though this show got very good reviews, it is shown on Comedy Central in America. I'm in my 50's, and let's just say I don't think I'm someone that Comedy Central is targeting to watch their shows. However, from the start of Episode 1, I thought this series was very well-written, and very funny. Most of it is deadpan humor, but I very much enjoyed it. All the actors/actresses are very good, but I'd say my favorite is Lance Reddick who plays the CEO of Hampton Deville. My favorite Episode in Season 1 was the one about Casual Fridays, which is probably the funniest show I've seen on TV since watching the homage to Mrs. Doubtfire episode on "Broad City" in 2016. I'm not sure how many people are watching this show, as it seems to have zero cultural buzz. But it is well worth watching, and I very much look forward to Season 2!

2 Global MegaCorp Employees at fictional company Hampton DeVille are regularly demeaned and attempt to avoid suited office psychopaths in a typical shark tank Corporate environment. Brilliantly acted, Powerfully scripted and cleverly delivered. Funny Funny Stuff, original and clever.
Definitely recommended.

I haven't been as impressed with the first two episodes of a series since Archer debuted, or maybe Red Oaks. The writing is minimalist in its approach to the unrelenting onslaught of over-the-top mini-scenarios that contribute to the overall story arc. The main characters speak with a glib, soulless detachment, giving the sense that they are only somewhat involved in what is going on around them, without any real emotion when they do decide to take up the cause de jour. This show may not be for everyone, as evidenced by scratchbird's review above. But if you are looking for something that speaks to your own soul-crushing corporate existence, definitely give it a watch.

Watched the first 4 episodes on demand. It's a smart idea, but it's like someone wrung all the humor out of it, filled it with grey on grey color palettes, made everyone talk monotone, and well, the result will put you to sleep. Skip this and rewatch "Better Off Ted", you'll thank me.
