Overview

Hannah Howard is the managing director of packaging company Flinley Craddick. When she gets news from Head Office that her branch will be shut down and everyone will go remote, she goes into survival mode, making promises she can't keep in order to keep her "work family" together.

Why fans love it

This workplace comedy leans into a frantic energy as management attempts to hold a dwindling branch together. By shifting the setting to a modern packaging company facing the threat of remote work, the show highlights the desperation of a leader trying to force a sense of family upon employees who are increasingly preoccupied with the reality of their professional extinction.

Felicity Ward anchors the chaos with a performance that thrives on the tension between good intentions and administrative failure. Rather than relying on familiar beats, the series finds its humor in the escalating promises made to staff during a crisis. The result is a sitcom that feels distinctly tied to the anxieties of the contemporary office environment while exploring how far an individual will go to prevent a total shutdown.
