Great show; unfortunately, appears to be missing the final two episodes of season 2, so I can't quite bring myself to buy it on here.

Great show. Definitely ahead of its time, depicting a drone farm corporation so very accurately... Too bad the last two episodes of the second season are missing. This series is witty, funny, and the situations are typical of cubicle environments. The quips are awesome. Can a corporation be bitchy? The sets are perfect, again very representative of corporate culture. Drama-charged atmosphere, but hilarious. It's like Dilbert met a TV and they had a child together!

One of the most inventive, fresh and FUNNY shows. A complete break from the usual sitcom. One of those shows that needs to be binge-watched and enjoyed over and over. Why in the world was it cancelled?
