A new temp on the office floor
Open-plan desks, a London skyline in the window, a newcomer who keeps her head down and a boss who stops what he is doing when she walks by. The preview rests on that workplace setting.
The lead is Harriet Seagrave, an adult temp who starts out shy. Opposite her stands the assistant, blonde, sharp and jealous, who treats the whole thing as a threat. Taboo is the label, forbidden attention the engine, and the tone is bold but never graphic.
With 88 seconds, the first episode is generous, so the 18-second clip works as a sample of a bigger opening. It gives you the office, the new face and the stare, and leaves the assistant's reaction for the full episode. If you prefer a series with room to breathe before the paid part, this is a good one to test. The PA's jealousy is the second engine of the story. Where the boss sees a newcomer, she sees a rival, and the three of them form a pointed triangle inside one London office.

Pick it if you like workplace tension
Under the Boss fits viewers who prefer a corporate setting to a family home, and a rivalry between two women to a single secret.
Harriet's other series is Mum Got Sick On Our Holiday, a very different mood in a holiday house. For another power game, Not Under My Roof puts a mother-in-law in charge. Our free page covers how to start any Candy Shorts AI series at no cost. On Candy Shorts AI it is one of the series built around a workplace rather than a home. The workplace angle is the difference: here the pressure is about status and who is watching, rather than about a family secret. It keeps the cast small and the stakes personal.
