After a merger falls through, a company in serious trouble hires a consulting firm to streamline their business. But there's something strange about the consultant who arrives to supervise the project. People who defy him get fired... or worse. They soon realize they're not just fighting for their jobs, they're fighting for their lives.

It was ok, leaves you wondering at the end just what Regus Patoff really was.

2020.  Meh.

Writer of that article seems to have decided the point of the show was just to be a puzzlebox, so that they could then criticize it as a bad one. There's a lot of other stuff going on with it besides the mystery. It was far from a perfect show but was hardly a failure or boring. I gave it a 4/5.

This is a masterpiece. In E03 that The Prodigy song was so spot on and would be an absolute references perfection, if they would choose this one: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hZPECFQ4NhE (Youtube banned its music video).

Also hilarious reviews on IMDB "NOT A COMEDY!!!11" from people who probably expected some lame comedy with a laugh track here.

Nicely done. Loved it. Although almost exclusively carried by Waltz and O'Grady. Without them, the whole thing would have been pretty plain and boring. The end... well... I hoped to learn a bit more about Mr Patoff but not a bad ending.
