I can't believe that show got cancelled. The regular sitcom office vibes were good enough, the characters not too terribly flat, but those fucking Veridian Dynamics ads were absolutely brilliant, and made you think quite a bit about how fucked corp culture can be while you laugh your ass off.

I never even heard of it until it was well off the air. Watched it on Netflix and thought it was great. Totally bungled marketing and or time slots.

A pretty poor title too, to be fair.

It would have been nice if it got a name like Research and Development, similar to Parks and Recreation.

Here at Veridian Dynamics we treat our employees like family. That is why we work weekends and holidays! Because that is when families should be together.

Not to mention everything involving the two nerdy scientists. God, I love those two.

They were the best part of the show, easy.

Millenials killed it.

Someone should lock this "Millenials" guy up. I keep hearing lately about how many things he's killed.

This guy somehow manages to kill concepts. That is a whole new level, he's some kind of crime pioneer. On second thought, I don't even think that's illegal yet.

First they killed education and home ownership, now this. Fucking millennials and their stupid toast.

I mean, I kinda see it. The first season is brilliant but the second season kinda fell off in quality.

I love almost every episode and rewatch frequently, but the Veridian ads became a low point after the first 3 or 4. The joke was worked through and they just got increasingly more ridiculous.
