Ted, a successful but morally conscious man, runs a research and development department at a morally questionable corporation, Veridian Dynamics. No achievement is too far fetched and no invention too unorthodox for Veridian. Ted loves his seemingly perfect job; he loves his superhuman boss, Veronica, and colleagues Lem, Phil and Linda, but he's starting to take a closer look at the company's extremely questionable practices... especially when they try to cryogenically freeze one of Ted's scientists for testing purposes.

Matthew Sherman

A dark comedy about the absurdity of corporate greed and the dehumanization inflicted upon every level of workers. Clever and hilarious.

You know,I think I am Better Off Having Teded

Watched this on Netflix way back in the day and remember it being a funny competent comedy.

Off the wall work place comedy, full of eccentric characters and fun scenarios. Never really got the chance it deserved. Shame.

Legendary show. Truly a hidden gem. Watch them. Then watch them again. Then watch them again. Hours and hours of laughs.

wow_thats_heavy

Incredibly underrated. As with so many great and original shows, it was canceled way too soon.

Quirky workplace comedy with an unconventional fourth-wall narration style. Good fun but light on for content.

Great show but it struggled to find an audience

It's to the office, what IT crowd is to big hang theory. Better in all ways, and offers more without being pedantic and idiotic.

Funny, occasionally surprising, enjoyable and fun.
