Before episode 1
The office is full of polished, glamorous people, and the boss is the most glamorous of all. His assistant runs his calendar, keeps him afloat and has been working up the nerve to ask him to dinner. Then Harriet starts. She is curvy, funny, nervous and convinced nobody here would ever look twice at her. The boss looks more than twice, and the rest of the office, including a coworker named Vic, takes notice.
The people in it
- Harriet: New on the job, curvy and self-deprecating, with a habit of saying the honest thing first.
- The boss: Charming and decisive; drops his schedule to give Harriet a personal tour and likes her answers.
- The assistant: Keeps the boss organized, hopes to turn a client dinner into a date and quietly seethes.
The two free episodes
Episode 1Free, no account
Morning at work: the assistant hands the boss a document, shifts his 4:30 to 4:15 and reminds him he would be lost without her. Harriet, meanwhile, panics silently, wondering whether she is attractive enough for a place full of beautiful people and a gorgeous boss who surely never notices someone her size. The assistant edges toward a dinner invitation, since Thursday's reservation still stands. The boss interrupts to ask about the new face. Harriet, first day, comes the answer. He calls her pretty, greets her, and Harriet blurts that she has admired him, then backpedals to the company. He prefers her first answer. When the assistant steers toward onboarding and his packed morning, he waves it off and gives Harriet the tour himself, buried secrets included.
Episode 2Free with a free account
Inside her head, the assistant insists it is only a cupboard tour and a temp is not his type. In there, the boss hands over company gear for conferences and charity days, a T-shirt and hoodie, all unisex. Harriet has to see how they fit, so he steps out like a gentleman. Outside, coworkers trade crude guesses; Vic gets told off, someone doubts he would bother with her, and a catty meow follows. The shirt just about fits; he calls her a superstar. Harriet asks for black, since cameras add pounds and white adds far more, then realizes she just cursed at her boss on day one. He says it suits her. Shirt or swearing? Both. She curses again.
Where the free run stops. Harriet's mortified curse closes the free part, with the boss charmed and the assistant stewing outside the door. Whether his interest goes past compliments, and what becomes of the assistant's Thursday dinner plan, is not answered.
What kind of show it is
Office comedy with British slang and a warm heart: lots of talk, awkward jokes and inner monologue, very little action. Harriet's nervous honesty does the charming, the assistant's jealousy does the sniping, and the heat is in glances, compliments and a cupboard door that stays shut a while.
