Onto the premise: Follows a relationship between employee and boss, asking how far we will go to get ahead, and to survive.

In Episode two, Mr. Patoff continues making odd requests, confusing the workers even more. Mr. Sang’s mother arrives from Seoul.
In Episode Three, Mr. Patoff and Craig spend a night out on the town that becomes increasingly bizarre, while Elaine explores the records room.

I was instantly hooked onto this series because it gave me “Severance” vibes, which I really appreciated.
I liked this comedic creepy thriller, with its moments, where I had laughed out loud. Along with its shocking moments. I honestly can’t wait to watch more!
I just love love Christoph Waltz. He is such an amazing actor! The rest of the cast were was Amazing as well.
I honestly had no idea what to expect from the story, but I enjoyed it. The episodes were pretty snackable, which I liked.
