It's a show where a group of office workers have their memories surgically separated between their work and personal lives. It's like sci-fi/mystery/anti-work horror and unambiguously portrays the megacorporation as torturing their employees. So basically as anticapitalist a product could be coming from a trillion dollar phone company.

The first season just ended and set up what should be an equally thrilling second season, so check it out friends.

    It's an incredible show about workforce organizing and worker comaraderie in a hellish corporate environment. I haven't seen the last episode, though.

    It oozes class conflict. Also really great independent of its politics.

      The main bosses/workers dynamic is excellent but I love its evisceration of the intelligentsia/pmc as a foil.

        Oh my God yeah the people who hover around Ricken are so vapid. Perfect characterization, no notes.

          That brief interaction in the last episode as Mark comes out of the bathroom is :chefs-kiss:

          oh! and

          spoiler

          the craven/self-serving way the dude claims credit for finding the baby when it was Mark

    On top of the class politics, it's just really good, Phil K. Dick-esque sci-fi, super solid. I'm bummed I have to wait for season 2, that finale was a hell of a cliffhanger.

      Finale (no spoilers) is incredible, there were many moments where I was worried they'd take it in a really trope-y way, but each time they exceeded my expectations.

        I absolutely love how psychopathic the two managers are, how cultish the whole environment is and how the imposed culture is immediately recognizable as fake but they have to turn off their critical thinking brains to survive.

    Holy shit, this was awesome! 9.8 on IMDB for the final episode is deserved.

      Yeah I was incredibly impressed, I thought they would shy away from real consequences and "reset" in preparation for the second season. Instead, they pushed it just past that point and just gave enough for me to desperately want the next episode.
