The Chair Company

Our Review

Tim Robinson doing the full workplace-comedy format: a mid-level office drone whose minor workplace humiliation escalates into corporate farce. The show takes the I Think You Should Leave sketch grammar — a man committing to a bit past all reason, the social fabric tearing around him — and stretches it across serialized episodes.

The expansion mostly works: Robinson’s specific gift — the fury of the embarrassed, the dignity of the undignified — gets room to breathe across a season arc, and the supporting cast keeps the cringe engine running. Like all sketch-to-series transitions, the hit rate varies — some premises can’t sustain thirty minutes, some are perfect — but the peaks are as funny as anything Robinson’s done. Watch it with sketch-album expectations: some tracks skip, the best live in your head forever.

Verdict: Watch it for the Robinson-brain experience. You’ll know within ten minutes if you’re built for this.
