Comedy Central's edgy workplace comedy is set in the headquarters of a soulless multinational corporation named Hampton Deville, centering on a pair of management trainees played by Matt Ingebretson and Jake Weisman, who also created the series. Anne Dudek, Adam Lustick, Aparna Nancherla, and Lance Reddick (who appears to be following Andre Braugher's career path from playing a Baltimore cop to starring in a sitcom) also star alongside guests like Baron Vaughn, Natasha Lyonne, Jon Daly, Kate Walsh, Aimee Mann, and Rory Scovel.
