Waltz will keep you on the edge of your nerves in The Consultant

? ON THE TUBE TONIGHT-
(all times CLT)

Thriller, dark comedy, or satire? Depends on who you ask. The Consultant is a workplace TV series on an up-and-coming gaming venture called CompWare. We’re first introduced to the company as a group of middle-schoolers tour the building, oohing and ahhing at such a cool place to work. And then, one of the pre-pubescent students draws a gun and shoots founder and CEO Sang (Brian Yoon) dead.

Before the blood even dries, in walks a perfectly coiffed, mysterious, and deeply unsettling Regus Patoff (the magnificent Christoph Waltz). Patoff is a consultant no one knew existed, who Sang seemingly mysteriously appointed controller of everything in the event of his absence.

The plot thickens as Patoff uses his intimate knowledge of the senior team members against them — which he claims he got from a records room none of them even knew existed. Sang’s mother (Gloria John), who technically succeeds him as owner of the company, never makes it to her hotel after flying in from Korea, and instead decided to turn around and go home, says Patoff.
