Under the Boss: The Candy Shorts Series, Episode by Episode

What Under the Boss is about

The new temp is shy, keeps her head down and has no plan to become the center of anyone’s attention. Soon after she starts at the firm’s London office, the boss can think of nothing but her, and what begins as fascination turns into an affair he has every reason to keep quiet. Nothing in her job description covered this, and nothing about his position makes it wise.

Then there is his PA. Jealous, sharp and determined, she sees the newcomer as a threat and decides to end the affair by whatever means she can find. The series becomes a three-way contest of office politics: the boss in pursuit, the temp caught in the middle and the assistant working every angle to break them apart. In an office, everything is evidence: a closed door, a late night, a message sent at the wrong time. Candy lists Harriet Seagrave as the lead.

What sets it apart

Under the Boss has a villain. Plenty of Candy premises put the obstacle in a sleeping spouse or a ticking clock; this one gives it a face, a job title and a motive. That turns a workplace fling into a rivalry drama, with sabotage as the engine rather than guilt, and it means the paid episodes have a built-in source of conflict. The London office is a change of scene from suburban kitchens and family homes, and the boss-and-temp setup leans on workplace hierarchy rather than family taboo. At 1:28, the first episode is one of the longer free openers, so you get a decent look before deciding. The temp is the quiet center of the triangle, the character defined by what she hasn’t said yet, which gives the story a mystery to go with the rivalry. Harriet Seagrave also leads Every Wife on Candy Lane, so you may already know the name from a far more playful premise.

Who it’s for — and who should skip it

• Clock in if you like office romance with a scheming rival and plenty of politics.
• Take the job if you prefer workplace power plays to step-family storylines.
• Clock out if you want a story with no antagonist, or if boss-and-employee dynamics make you uncomfortable.

Our verdict

Sabotage and jealousy drive this one. Watch it if office intrigue is what keeps you watching and you like your affairs in a workplace setting. Skip it if power imbalances at work put you off. A built-in antagonist gives the plot somewhere to go, which is exactly what you want from the paid episodes, and the standard rate keeps finishing it affordable.
