Review of Cubicles

Cubicles (2019– )
9/10
Yet another well made web series by TVF
21 September 2021
I had decided to take a break from TVF after I got a Prime subscription. And when I came back I saw that there was a new web series, which was this one of course. Cubicles is a pretty well made show that gives a social commentary on the life of a newly recruited employee in a software company. The web series is fun to watch because of its humorous and relatable content. I really think this one is among the better web series that TVF has made, and also one of the most underrated ones, considering I have never seen anyone talk about it.

Cubicles is a story about a man who has received a new job at a software company. He lives with his friend and together they try to earn their living and decide on the things they have to buy. In the first episode the man is shown to struggle with his job. His card does not work, he gets framed for plagiarism, no one wants to talk to him, he gets scolded by both his boss and his HR and he ends up sitting in the ladies' washroom. But as he decides to slowly adjust himself to the new lifestyle, he finds new friends, patches up problems between his boss and HR and makes friends with the same bald man who had framed him for plagiarism.

Cubicles has a pretty good set design. It seems like an upgrade from the previous works of TVF. One of the things that strike me the most about it is the new take on this drama. Unlike previous TVF Original web series, this one is not exactly a comedy, even though it does have its fair share of light moments. This one is more about the emotions, the score, the romance and the wholesomeness. The problem with this web series is, however, it is not very memorable. As you could have already seen by now that I have already forgotten the names of all the characters. The impact of this web series is very weak because of its lack of usual humour. Everything about this web series is very blurry as I try to remember it while writing this review. This is the reason why no one is talking about it.

Since Cubicles does not contain any cuss words, it is safe to say that one can watch it with the whole family. This web series is also a good thing to show to your parents if they ask what TVF is, and probably can interest them in watching this too. It is one of my favourite TVF Originals after probably only Kota Factory, and that is understood since that web series is so iconic. I'd definitely recommend anyone to watch this.
