Het Eiland

2004–2005 · 2 seasons

A cringe-comedy of workplace awkwardness where every mundane office situation escalates into deliciously absurd embarrassment.

Overview: Michelle, Guido and Frankie have been co-workers and close friends for years. But when their boss gets fired, Guido gets a promotion and is replaced by the odd Alain Van Damme. No normal day passes on this work floor where impossible situations, hilarious moments and odd people are just a daily thing.
How it feels: Satirical, absurd, cynical and light. Measured and needs your attention.
About: Work, friendship, identity, class
Content: Mild sexual content and language. No violence or gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
