2 critics 3 lists ★ 7.6 TMDb 2 seasons Comedy

Ted, a successful but morally conscious man, runs a research and development department at a morally questionable corporation, Veridian Dynamics. No achievement is too far fetched and no invention too unorthodox for Veridian. Ted loves his seemingly perfect job; he loves his superhuman boss, Veronica, and colleagues Lem, Phil and Linda, but he's starting to take a closer look at the company's extremely questionable practices... especially when they try to cryogenically freeze one of Ted's scientists for testing purposes.

A workplace satire that perfectly skewered corporate ethics and scientific absurdity. Veridian Dynamics, a soulless mega-corporation, was the backdrop for brilliant deadpan humor and surprisingly smart social commentary. It had a sharp script, fantastic ensemble cast, and a unique mock-documentary style, often breaking the fourth wall. ABC couldn't figure out how to market its cleverness, but it remains a cult comedy classic.

This workplace satire was way ahead of its time. It skewers corporate absurdity with a dry, rapid-fire wit that feels like it belongs on a curated Twitter feed. The episodic nature means you can jump in anywhere, but the underlying critique of soulless innovation and ethical quandaries is surprisingly sharp. And the cast chemistry? Flawless, making every cynical joke land perfectly.
