the consultant web series review

 

The Consultant is a dark workplace comedy-thriller satire on capitalism with supernatural undertones, or possibly overtones. It is a six-episode series starring Christoph Waltz as Regus Patoff, a mysterious consultant who is hired to improve the business at CompWare, the App-based gaming company. As he throws new demands and challenges at the employees, they find themselves questioning everything, including their lives.

The series is based on Bentley Little's 2015 novel of the same name, with a few creative changes in characters and storyline. The biggest change is the addition of Waltz's character, who is not in the novel. Waltz is a scene-stealer, and his performance is one of the main reasons to watch the series. He brings a dark humor and menace to the role that is both unsettling and entertaining.

The other actors in the series are also good, but they are mostly overshadowed by Waltz. The supporting cast includes Don Johnson, Lydia Leonard, and Brendan Fraser. Johnson is particularly good as the CEO of CompWare, who is both ruthless and vulnerable.

The series is well-written and directed, and it has a unique visual style. The cinematography is dark and atmospheric, and the editing is sharp and stylish. The series also features some great music, which helps to set the tone.

Overall, The Consultant is a well-made and entertaining series. It is not for everyone, but if you are a fan of dark comedy, thrillers, or satire, then you will probably enjoy it.

Here are some of the pros and cons of the series:

Pros:

  • Christoph Waltz's performance
  • The dark humor
  • The suspenseful plot
  • The stylish visuals
  • The great music

Cons:

  • The series can be slow at times
  • Some of the plot points are not entirely believable
  • The series may be too dark for some viewers

Overall, I would recommend The Consultant to fans of dark comedy, thrillers, or satire. It is not for everyone, but it is a well-made and entertaining series.
