I started watching the new series and can relate too well (through personal and friends’ experiences). The solidifying of the “work self” as a person who exists separate from my real self and the fact that businesses want that work self to become the dominant half feels too close to home.
It’s got that glorious satire of Office Space, but that takes second chair to the allegory of the modern work space and the toll it plays on our psyches. There’s so much to unpack from the first two episodes, but I won’t ruin anything.
I’m curious what others feel. And do you think it’s anti-work? (Or do we have to wait and see?) Some time back someone asked for anti-work movie recs. So far I’m feeling this may be at the top of my anti-work TV shows.
