Appearing on Late Night with Seth Meyers: Ben Stiller/Rose Matafeo/Brooke Colucci (2022)

Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically split between their work and personal lives. When a mysterious colleague shows up outside of work, the journey to uncover the truth about their jobs begins. The computer terminals used by the team to refine a macro do not have a “leak”; a key.

There are only two episodes out

Edit* Episode 9 S1 is one of the best TV episodes I’ve seen from the series, it still tells the story, but shines much brighter. It was personally directed by Ben Stiller. And it deserves awards and recognition for that.

I’ll spoil everything because I went into the plot blind before watching

So I’ll cut it short for now and update with a full review at the end of the series. Stiller is still one of the few unique filmmakers in Hollyweird who can pull off great actors and decent budgets. This is a series unlike anything else on the air and has great potential to be considered one of the greatest of offbeat irreverent black comedy series of all time.

It’s a universe unto itself

I can’t wait for the world building. Give it a chance, it’s not political or influenced by the real world yet. And I love it so far.
