100% rated thriller is perfect for fans of cult hit Netflix series

A fresh series already rated 100% and dubbed 'one of the best shows of the year' is a must watch for fans of a cult hit Netflix series.

The Chair Company makes its premiere on Sky Comedy alongside the NOW platform for subscribers with an entertainment package.

The programme originates from ex-Saturday Night Live scribes Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin, who also created the popular sketch series I Think You Should Leave for the major streaming platform.

This occasion sees them delivering what's being characterised as a maze-like mystery-comedy to screens.

Based on the programme's cryptic synopsis, following a mortifying workplace incident, William Ronald "Ron" Trosper (Robinson) discovers himself probing an extensive conspiracy.

The creators have stayed silent regarding the storyline, hoping viewers will uncover all the surprising developments themselves.

Accompanying Robinson in the ensemble, who recently appeared in Paul Rudd film Friendship, are The Practice's Lake Bell, IT Part One actress Sophia Lillis, Will Price and Lou Diamond Phillips , reports the Mirror.

Prior to its launch across the US and UK, the show has already achieved a flawless 100% score on Rotten Tomatoes.

One reviewer simply declared: "One of the best shows of the year, The Chair Company will have you sinking in your recliner."

Another viewer remarked: "The Chair Company is one of the most offbeat and outlandish shows you'll see this year."

Meanwhile, a separate review declared: "There is nothing quite like The Chair Company: a show that is emotionally potent while still delivering the perfect marriage between sketch comedy and conspiracy theory."

The sole concern enthusiasts might encounter is that the series is anticipated to drop episodes weekly, with the debut becoming available from October 13.

According to details discovered on IMDB, fresh instalments will arrive every Sunday in the US and Monday in the UK.

This means the final episode will broadcast on November 30.

Consequently, viewers must decide whether to tune in immediately as episodes land or hold off to catch up, as the programme proves far more gripping when binged.

That assessment comes from a journalist who has viewed advance screeners for the opening seven episodes and discovered them utterly captivating.

It serves as an ideal substitute for any audience member who relished any fast-paced thriller or quirky comedy launched in recent months.

This encompasses Severance, Paradise, Slow Horses, Dept. Q, The Studio and The Rehearsal.

The Chair Company cranks up the tension to completely absurd heights and mocks how even the finest examples in the genre forge the most surprising connections and narrative jumps. In doing so, it also continues the method of Tim Robinson's expertly crafted sketch show premise of taking simple misunderstandings or social faux pas and blowing them way out of proportion.

Imagine the conspiracy thrills of Severance paired with the awkward humour of Nathan Fielder or Larry David.

Everything becomes so bizarre and compelling that you can't help but remain gripped, eager to know just where the eight-part series will end up. The show proves that Robinson and his team can indeed stretch a sketch idea into a lengthy series, while somehow maintaining interest and filling it with memorable character moments they are known for.

The Chair Company is streaming on Sky Comedy and NOW.
