Under the Boss plot: a new temp and a boss who cannot focus
Under the Boss drops a shy new temp into a London office, where the boss takes notice almost immediately and becomes obsessed. Their forbidden fling is the heart of the story, but it does not stay private for long, because the boss’s jealous blonde PA is ready to do whatever it takes to destroy it.
That gives the series a classic office-thriller shape: three people, one workplace, plenty of glances across desks and a jealous rival in the same office. The tone leans glossy and dramatic, and the Taboo tag signals the crossed lines between boss and employee. Everyone involved is an adult, and it is all fictional AI drama on Candy Shorts.
What to expect from Under the Boss
- A love triangle with teeth, where a jealous PA plays dirty to protect her place.
- A London office setting that feels different from the campus and holiday stories elsewhere in the catalog.
- Power-gap tension between boss and temp, which is the engine behind the Taboo tag.
- Five episodes, so the sabotage subplot has to move quickly rather than coast.
Under the Boss episodes and what costs money
Under the Boss has 5 episodes, the standard length on Candy Shorts. You can start Episode 1 for free on Candy AI, and a free sign-up is enough to continue into the premium episodes. After the first, you either unlock each episode on its own or subscribe to Premium for HD access to all of them.
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Portuguese and Japanese subtitles are available, which is handy if you watch with the sound off on a commute. Dubbed audio is listed as coming soon.
Who it suits
Anyone who enjoys workplace tension and Taboo stories with a rival subplot will feel at home here. It is a good fit for viewers who like drama more than pure fantasy, and who enjoy a story where timing and secrecy matter. There is no branded digital twin star, so the plot has to carry the series.
Our verdict on Under the Boss
A tidy, well-pitched office story that gives you a clear villain and a clear reason to keep tapping. The small downside is length: five episodes may not give the jealous-PA plot room to fully develop, and after Episode 1 everything sits behind the premium paywall. Sample the first episode on Candy AI Shorts and let the cliffhanger decide.
