Corporate

If you have a corporate job you hate, consider giving Comedy Central’s Corporate, now in its second season, a try. It’s often incredibly funny, possessed of the kind of dark humor that might make the long drudgery of a day at work slightly more bearable. But it’s also laced with a dark and dreary streak, feeling more like a David Fincher film than most other TV comedies. If that sounds at all intriguing to you, check it out immediately. If it doesn’t, know that the series also boasts a pitch-perfect cast, including a bunch of long-time TV all-stars (like The Wire’s Lance Reddick and House’s Anne Dudek) and gives them the chance to cut loose and be incredibly funny. Corporate’s bleakness won’t be for everybody, but the show does its very best to give as many people as possible a window in to its horrors.

“It’s grim, hilarious — and if you’ve ever worked at a place like it, utterly accurate.” Melanie McFarland, Salon

Metacritic score: N/A (75 out of 100 for season one)

Where to watch: New episodes of Corporate air Tuesdays at 10:30 pm Eastern on Comedy Central. Previous episodes are available on Comedy Central’s website.

Will you support Vox’s explanatory journalism?

Most news outlets make their money through advertising or subscriptions. But when it comes to what we’re trying to do at Vox, there are a couple of big issues with relying on ads and subscriptions to keep the lights on:

First, advertising dollars go up and down with the economy. We often only know a few months out what our advertising revenue will be, which makes it hard to plan ahead.

Second, we’re not in the subscriptions business. Vox is here to help everyone understand the complex issues shaping the world — not just the people who can afford to pay for a subscription. We believe that’s an important part of building a more equal society. And we can’t do that if we have a paywall.

So even though advertising is still our biggest source of revenue, we also seek grants and reader support. (And no matter how our work is funded, we have strict guidelines on editorial independence.)

If you also believe that everyone deserves access to trusted high-quality information, will you make a gift to Vox today? Any amount helps.
