Better Off Ted

2009–2010 · 2 seasons

A quick-witted, absurd workplace comedy that makes you laugh at corporate evil while feeling oddly fond of its flawed characters.

Tagline: They're putting comedy to work.
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Satirical, light, absurd and warm. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Work, corruption, morality, identity
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
