Watch - The Chair on Netflix

While everyone is raving about The Bold Type and Squid Game, we like The Chair on Netflix. If you’re one of the masses of people waiting to see Killing Eve star Sandra Oh on your screens, The Chair is the perfect Netflix binge. Equally, if you’ve ever found yourself swimming against the tide in your leadership role, the show will make for relatable comfort watching. The Chair follows Dr. Ji-Yoon Kim as she navigates her new appointment as Chair of the English Department at an Ivy-League University. The dry and slightly dark-humoured comedy is the perfect match for Oh’s famed comedic timing. The six short episodes are packed with drama and workplace-politics, all whilst tackling the real struggles of the senior stages of your career – before you know it, you’ll be impatiently waiting for season two.
