Better Off Ted

What it’s about

Ted Crisp manages research and development at Veridian Dynamics, a corporation that turns far-fetched concepts into reality, from suicidal turkeys to edible metal. He enjoys his job, his boss Veronica, and his colleagues Lem, Phil and Linda. Yet when the company attempts to cryogenically freeze one of his scientists for testing, Ted starts to examine the questionable practices he has long accepted.

Who it’s for
