The Chair Company manages to be both a high-surrealist critique of the dehumanization of work and a portrait of fragile humanity. You won’t get swept away by its narrative or its cast of characters, but you might find yourself, unaccountably, moved.

The Chair Company will keep you up at nights, not because it is frightening, but because you won’t be able to stop thinking about it. A truly singular vision from a mad genius. Don’t let it be spoiled for you.

It is a disturbing, but surprisingly humane watch that finds kindness and understanding for the horrors of being a worker in the 21st century in the most bizarre places.

While The Chair Company‘s finer details are best left to discover for yourself, this is a welcome addition to Robinson’s body of work. One that further explores the traits and performance tics that are beloved throughout his other shows.

I’m not sure why this show has 100 on here! I tried so hard to keep watching it after the third episode, I could not watch it any longer. It’s just awful, boring, and weird with monotonous characters! Probably one of the most uninteresting shows I’ve seen in a long time.

Trying to get into this and I am struggling. I love mysteries and mystery box kinds of shows, but after watching the first 2 episodes of this I guess I prefer them more as dramas and thrillers than as comedies.

Turning the ordinary absurdity into items of sociological analysis. I don't get the bad reviews for this series... they might come from people who actually didn't get this is COMEDY, with an original approach that I'd call "detective comedy". With this in mind, there's still people who might not enjoy the humor here, which is fine. This is mostly a satire on ordinary suburban America, within the business world, and this works amazingly at that. There's many good lessons of wisdom to learn from it, like our relation with addiction, suspicion of neighbors/colleagues, having to always be up to social standards... so it's overall an optimistic series. I also do like how Robinson is being a "hippie in normie clothing" here... advocating for nonviolent ways to solve daily problems in relatable situations of petty violence and gangsterism. It's a refreshing departure from the inflated tuff boy routine we often get on streaming.
