WORK/FRIENDS

WORK/FRIENDS is a show uniquely for our times, specifically driven by the power dynamics between women at work. Sam is a sharp but indecisive millennial, torn between what a professional should be versus what she is. When she is promoted ahead of her older and more experienced best friend Angie, unspoken tensions about class, age and sex erupt, jeopardizing both the personal and professional relationships of everyone in the office.
