Sky Comedy's highly anticipated new series 'The Chair Company' has stumbled out of the gate, receiving a brutal reception from critics and audiences alike according to freshly revealed Rotten Tomatoes scores.
A Critical Catastrophe
The workplace comedy, which promised to deliver sharp British humour, has instead faced a mauling from television reviewers across the board. The aggregation site's critical consensus paints a bleak picture for the streaming service's latest investment in original programming.
Audience Backlash
Viewers haven't been any kinder to the series, with audience scores mirroring the critical disdain. Social media platforms are buzzing with disappointed reactions from subscribers who had high hopes for the new comedy offering.
What Went Wrong for Sky's Latest?
Industry analysts are questioning whether this marks a rare misstep for Sky's comedy division, which has previously enjoyed success with original British productions. The poor reception raises concerns about the streaming platform's content strategy in an increasingly competitive market.
The series' failure to connect with either critics or general viewers represents a significant setback, particularly given the substantial marketing campaign that preceded its launch. As streaming wars intensify, such high-profile disappointments could have lasting implications for future commissioning decisions.
