    We never see an ordinary workday, and we have so little sense of the characters’ personal lives that any mention of them feels jarring. They seem to exist only as lenses through which to view the ensuing chaos, not least of which because the series fails to drum up a plausible reason for Craig and Elaine to stop shopping their résumés around and stay at CompWare. Viewers, luckily, are under no such obligation.

    Had to binge watch the whole series. Surprising,refreshing,suspenseful and plenty of bizarre moments. I hope they make a second season. WeHad to binge watch the whole series.

    Great Acting, Enjoyable to Watch, Like a Modern 8-Episode Outer Limits or Twilight Zone.
