To whom it may concern,
Tonight is the final episode of the dark (dark) comedy Corporate on Comedy Central. Therefore, it gets Top Pick because it is such an underappreciated gem, though it's certainly not designed for everyone. The show gives a satirical looks at corporate culture and groups of people at various places on the totem poles. Episodes have tackled the silly side of vacations, gossip, and emails but also gotten a little real with death, suicide, and national tragedy. The supporting cast includes Anne Dudek, Adam Lustick, Aparna Nancherla, and Lance Reddick. Best regards, Amadeus3000
