YES, DIRECTOR

Tasting notes

A company is losing money, an employee is caught looking where he shouldn't, and the Director publicly dismantles him in front of the room. Then she pulls him aside in private. Her husband owns the firm and sacks staff at a record pace, which gives her all the leverage she needs. Episode 1 ends with an assignment for that night, in her office, strictly under her orders. In episode 2 he turns up, she keeps him waiting, and a rehearsed presentation becomes a test of exactly how well he follows instructions.

Flavor profile

Power is the main ingredient: she controls his career, her husband controls hers, and everyone pretends it's about slides. The crossed line is the corporate one. The free episodes stay with orders, glares and a lot of overtime.

Allergy advice Contains: office politics, bossy energy and a conference room with questionable acoustics. May contain traces of spreadsheet anxiety.

Best enjoyed A good fit for a Monday night, when the inbox has already won and you want a boss who is fun.
