Did see the adds but chose to avoid it I've worked in that kind of environment and it nearly ruined me. I couldn't watch it without smashing my TV.

Tried to watch it, obviously a hard subject matter. The first episode became to embarrassing to watch this character and to far fetched and silly for the sake of tv.
Started watching the 2nd episode but 20 minutes in it got to silly as his evening was setting out and the embarrassment by the old school chum decided to turn over. Written i believe by the Dr Foster writer.
Glad some finding it enjoyable thankfully i have never suffered like the main character in the show.

Watched the first 2 episodes and will watch tonight, it's a bit far fetched though. (unless there's a paranoia twist bubbling under)

Just watched all 3 episodes back to back.
Im an emotional wreck.
Never felt such anger, fruatration and relief at the end.
This shit does happen, and yes some of the program was a bit ott, but it did tackle key issues of work place bullying.
Bullying isn't just fisticuffs or mindless assualts, its the mental bullying thats the worst bit.
Being undermined at work and being told you have no self worth is worse than any beating.

Switched the Sjoke match off and finally caught the last part.
I knew the fit one was in on it, but I hoped he'd have his voice recorder on as he was holding his phone throughout her rant.
Pretty stupid things to say considering phones can record these things

Here we have a women who is so astute and can organise systematic bullying from various angles didn't consider the probability of fessing up would get recorded on one of those phone thingy's that everyone carries in their pocket. |

This sort of bullying (if you can even call it bullying) is still very commonplace, especially in high pressure sales environments. You don't make sales if you are a sensitive snowflake. It's as simple as that.
I'm not sure it was worthy of a TV drama. I didn't really have any sympathy with the main character who was almost childlike in his naivety and clearly not up to the demands of his job.
In season 3 of Line of Duty an entire department conspired against DS Arnott to force his suspension from the police service. Arnott (who came good in the end) had a much thicker skin than this wimp, and it made for a much better storyline.

Maybe this drama series will come to Sweden?
Next year?
Did it have a Charles Bronson end to it?
If not, I probably won't waste my time.
