Series from 2015
A man struggles to obtain happiness.
The day after his 44th birthday, Thom Payne comes under pressure to rebrand himself after his agency hires a pair of young Swedish creative directors to evolve the company (skinny jeans are an option). Meanwhile, Dani, a headhunter, advises Thom to admit he's hit his joy ceiling.
Thom loses his couch and gets a lesson in corporate America from Jonathan - it involves German pornography. The Swedes push a new campaign, and Lee's bubble is invaded when her mother sends Julius a package.
When Julius gets ill, Thom's Catholicism and the Geico Gecko offer dueling takes on the meaning of suffering. MGT departments begin the downsizing process. And a sh*t fan hits New York Life.
While waiting for the mothership that left him on this sh***y planet to return, Thom is overrun by a**holes. The Swedes (a**holes) continue to castrate him at work, Jonathan (occasional a**hole) introduces the official Nazi handbook at a meeting and Julius gets suspended for hitting Fitzgerald Miller (a**hole).
When Thom's train strikes and kills a commuter, he gets a life lesson. Gottfrid questions Thom's priorities when he misses his morning meeting. And Lee finds a new studio with a Holocaust survivor landlord.
A new store at the local mall sends Lee into a tailspin. Thom takes over a campaign and consoles Larry. And the Swedes attempt to steal Lorna while offering Thom another big account.
