Best shows to binge watch over christmas2/25/2023 ![]() ![]() And while that might sound on the surface like a dream scenario for many of us working as part of the capitalistic machine, in this show it's a front for a whole truckload of what can only be described as corporate psycho-horror. Adam Scott (who, evidently, loves a good workplace show) plays an employee of Lumon Industries who decides to undergo the "severance" procedure that separates all memories of his work life from his personal consciousness. There aren't too many sci-fi thriller shows out there centered around the ol' office - in fact, Severance might be the only one. Watch it on Peacock with a Premium membership.Ĭast: Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Jen Tullock, Dichen Lachman, Michael Chernus, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette It was my go-to comfort watch before it was taken off Netflix, and now I will follow it to Peacock. Amy Poehler is a force of comedic timing and wholesome gaffes, and it's blasphemous that she didn't win an Emmy for her tireless work through seven seasons. But despite her obstacles, which include libertarian stick in the mud Ron Swanson (Offerman), disruptive and ardent pessimist April (Plaza), and materialistic and capricious Tom (Ansari), Leslie loves her coworkers and always manages to unite them through an inexplicably fierce love for her town and the inner workings of city government. It takes place in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana, in a small government office crammed full of corrupt, lazy, and eccentric characters who hinder enthusiastic bureaucrat Leslie Knope (Poehler) at every opportunity. Parks and Rec has it all: an impeccable cast, a laugh-out-loud comedic script for all ages, and an unrelenting sense of positivity that never feels corny or inauthentic. ![]() It should be commended first and foremost for the way it tackles the subtle, constant horror of being a woman of color in a patriarchal institution, and how muddy the waters can truly get when you're determined to get to the top.Ĭast: Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, Aziz Ansari, Rashida Jones, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Adam Scott, Rob Lowe, Jim O'Heir, Retta There are standout performances by American protagonist and Bodies Bodies Bodies star Myha'la Herrold and Lost alum Ken Leung as her baseball-bat wielding boss. This gritty, smart, suspenseful, absolutely off-the-walls bonkers show doesn't let up for even a second as it follows five summer associates competing for full-time employment at a prestigious London investment bank. These cocaine-addled, power-horny youngsters throw around stock trading terms I couldn't even begin to understand, all while navigating the extremely questionable politics of the firm and relationships of their own. In my opinion, if there's one workplace show you should watch right now, it's Industry. And if " Euphoria meets investment banking" doesn't get you on board, I'm not sure what will. Cast: Myha'la Herrold, Marisa Abela, David Jonsson, Ken Leung, Harry Lawtey, Ben Lloyd-Hughes, Conor MacNeill, Freya Mavor ![]()
