I’m so glad I randomly came across this show. Amazing from start to finish. And what a satisfying ending. We all wish we had the guts to do what Amy did. Laura Dern is a national treasure.
I love the security guards face. Without a word he says volumes. I have only just seen Seies 1 of this and I love it. Like nothing else I have watched.
one of the best best scene i´ve seen from a tv show. TV is such a garbage these day. With no meaning at all. This show keeps the faith i have in humanity. We need more enlightened people like Amy.
I find it interesting that they look upon her with disgust and as if they're better than her when they say "you have committed a crime". So breaking the law is horrific to them if it's against their interests, but breaking the law by colluding with politicians to further their interests is fine. Their crime was far worse for this world than her crime. They don't have the moral high ground here, they don't have the legal high ground, they've lost all ground. I agree its harsh for the individual company. To be destroyed for what they did is harsh but I think ultimately it is completely necessary to send a message to all corporations that collusions with politicians is not legal and will not be tolerated. The owner of a company got a harsh deal here but amy is a hero no matter what her intentions, she did the world (in the show) a favour. Did the company need to collude with politicians to survive? perhaps. Does that mean it should be allowed? absolutely not. The world and the way we move forward is important. The company is not. And if these kind of collusions were stopped i think it would create a better environment in the long run, less depression among workers and maybe even more productivity. She wasn't drawing unicorns on the walls and filling out important forms with pink pen. She was stopping illegal collusion and corruption.
Damn I watched this show yesterday bc randomly on OTT and was SO invested OMG. It's so unique. The actors are all amazing in this..it was weirdly addicting. Need more shows like this.
I love the way they ended it! I'm surprised they were planning a new season because the ending was perfect - I mean with Charles Szidon being the lunatic behind the elevator doors instead of Amy and the turtle not appearing in Amy's vision.. it all wrapped up!
Mike White who created this show with Laura Dern is so so good at creating cathartic human moments. I see a lot of this show in his now extremeley famous White Lotus
This show DESERVED at least a 3rd season. Season 1 was GREAT but season 2 was even better. The episode Higher Power about Levi in rehab and then Dougie joining forces with Amy was so great. God I loved this show.
HBO cancelled the show suddenly and amongst critical acclaim. I wouldn’t be surprised is HBO cancelled it due to pressure from corporations that wanted this off the air before THEIR employees got any smart ideas. The series was too empowering for the average person.
They canceled it because the ratings were terrible. We're lucky we even got a second season (and a surprisingly perfect ending). HBO also gave us Mike White's new show The White Lotus, the ratings for which were much higher and as a result is being expanded from a limited series to a sort of anthology. There's no conspiracy at play here, just ratings and ROI.
In a way Amy is screwed, she ruined most of her relationships with her idealistic visions and her chance at a great job where she may have had some opportunity to make changes. This story was so compelling, superbly cast and relatable to people struggling to find their place in corporate culture.
Wow, what a great show! I just discovered it and binge watched it the last 48 hours. What did she say to her boss that she was sleeping with at the elevator in the series pilot? Did she use the same threat that the boss used here on her? Was this bringing her character full circle?
For all her bullshit I ultimately feel her boss was right. This woman's logical does not apply. For all her empty phrases she lives in a world that she is completely out if touch with. Of what point is the rule if it has no impact on society around you? I really disliked the show because of the main character who did seem to be exactly as described by her bosses. A hysteric and her logic was absolutely lost amongst the ppl she was so trying to inspire. She did not ever really think yes.
I'd agree with you. The writer's doing a good job in being a very astute critic of the show's own leading character. Doing good becomes a much more complex thing than just a direct moral judgement. Whistle blowing of the unethical conduct is surely right. But then does her rationale and imperatives not matter? Do we need an understanding of "how the world works" to do the right thing? Or can we just do it as long as the slice we see is morally justified? This is like politics, but here the small guy found a way to fight with the big man.
Yes and No on your account of it .. But can I just say that I have truly seen the world for what it is and I am as real as life gets now so any change to the system is a good starting point I believe .. Especially if you are American, my goodness, lost Babylon to say the very least people .. ChildrenOFaith
I would have loved another season of this show. It was really good. Loved Laura Dern. She was hilarious. I would have loved to see the aftermath of this.
This was an undervalued show. Amazing.
Agreed
favourite show
Sometimes, at random, you find you have to whip out your phone and rewatch one of the most satisfying moments in TV drama.
Literally me rn haha
This show means SO much. It's a shame people don't recognize it's significance. sad.
I’m so glad I randomly came across this show. Amazing from start to finish. And what a satisfying ending. We all wish we had the guts to do what Amy did. Laura Dern is a national treasure.
The episode Higher Power was the best work of Luke Wilson's career. By far.
Totally agree, stumbled across it and it was great from start to finish.
Go Amy! I miss Enlightened, but never get tired of watching this scene.
This show really meant a lot to me.
I love the security guards face. Without a word he says volumes. I have only just seen Seies 1 of this and I love it. Like nothing else I have watched.
acechadwick oh why did you watch a spoiler lol it's one of the best shows i have ever seen!! series 2 is even better
KaansRoom I agree with you! I shouldn't have watched the spoiler but I did watch Series 2 and it is amazing.
one of the best best scene i´ve seen from a tv show. TV is such a garbage these day. With no meaning at all. This show keeps the faith i have in humanity. We need more enlightened people like Amy.
Although this wasn't suppose to be the end, it definitely was a fitting and satisfying ending :)
True it ended the way it started
It was a truly cathartic and symmetrical ending. I loved it. It would’ve been quite the challenge to try and top it with another season.
One of my favourite things about this show is how well it ended when that wasn't even the plan. Man, what a great show!!
I can’t believe that only half of the show got Blu-rayed. Music as frequently good as this deserves to be in the DTS-MA format,
I find it interesting that they look upon her with disgust and as if they're better than her when they say "you have committed a crime". So breaking the law is horrific to them if it's against their interests, but breaking the law by colluding with politicians to further their interests is fine.

If I ever quit my job, i would want to go out in blaze of glory just like Amy.
this show was and still is amazing.... and so relevant during these crazy times we're facing these days ;)....
Damn I watched this show yesterday bc randomly on OTT and was SO invested OMG. It's so unique. The actors are all amazing in this..it was weirdly addicting.
Need more shows like this.
I can’t tell you how much I loved this show
Me too man. The episode where Levi was in rehab in Hawaii was so great. This entire series was awesome. I went from hating Dougie to LOVING him.
I love the way they ended it! I'm surprised they were planning a new season because the ending was perfect - I mean with Charles Szidon being the lunatic behind the elevator doors instead of Amy and the turtle not appearing in Amy's vision.. it all wrapped up!
Agree!
So amazing show, they need to make a new season
Mike White who created this show with Laura Dern is so so good at creating cathartic human moments. I see a lot of this show in his now extremeley famous White Lotus
This show is AMAZING!!! This scene is everything
This show DESERVED at least a 3rd season. Season 1 was GREAT but season 2 was even better. The episode Higher Power about Levi in rehab and then Dougie joining forces with Amy was so great. God I loved this show.

Loved this show. Very relatable to me
This show is a masterpiece with a pitch perfect ending and lead character arc.
literally the best show
love this show
...he seemed upset...
RIP James Rebhorn
A good actor
I come here often.
RIP James Rebhorn. What a mountainous performance
In a way Amy is screwed, she ruined most of her relationships with her idealistic visions and her chance at a great job where she may have had some opportunity to make changes. This story was so compelling, superbly cast and relatable to people struggling to find their place in corporate culture.
' like the bug that you are' Renata to the school principal😂😂
Does anyone know what music was used in this clip? And if at all possible what music was used in the last scene of follow me?
What a show!!!!! of course it's unpopular and undervalued because it makes you think and reflect!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
We love Amy!
+FlashFace AGREED. if I could give more thumbs up I would!
"you're the one going to prison." BURN. hope it woulda been true...
Right on.......😪
Really.....a good show....
3:29 I love her little look of stunned amazement
Power......
She crushed THEM
Amy..........what a. Winner.....
Right on......amys like this are 😎
Any chance it might be picked up by Netflix?
15 yrs...... end the end
😁 She got them
Wow, what a great show! I just discovered it and binge watched it the last 48 hours.
What did she say to her boss that she was sleeping with at the elevator in the series pilot? Did she use the same threat that the boss used here on her? Was this bringing her character full circle?
She really does have a point, though.
If amys ran the 🌎 we will have teeth
1:45 lol.
Why they cancelled good shows like this? Fuck! Same with CARNIVALE.
I like her...
Right on....jobs today like having a place too stay....
In the end.....power is greed.......
Me too
So why’d they stop this series?
Not as many of y’all weren’t showing interest or something?
😃😃😃😃
I wish that moments like would happen more often in real life.
+antmagor YES, tell me about it!
oh they do.
team jim croce…laura dern and friends? i dunno.
The CEO had a point. Amy means well, I guess, but she's incredibly naive. She doesn't know how the world actually works.
She understood exactly how it worked... and wasn’t happy about it.
Id love to see amy in trump era...just saying mike
GREED
For all her bullshit I ultimately feel her boss was right. This woman's logical does not apply. For all her empty phrases she lives in a world that she is completely out if touch with.

A hysteric and her logic was absolutely lost amongst the ppl she was so trying to inspire. She did not ever really think yes.
Some people are so poor all they have is money. The company was being totally unethical. How is trying to stop and expose that illogical?

+Scorpiotide You explained that perfectly! I didn't even think about all that until you wrote what you did. Good job!
Yes and No on your account of it .. But can I just say that I have truly seen the world for what it is and I am as real as life gets now so any change to the system is a good starting point I believe ..

Jpositive You're absolutely right Jpositive :)
It was only supposed to run for 3 seasons. They really fucked up with cancelling this one.
I would have loved another season of this show. It was really good. Loved Laura Dern. She was hilarious. I would have loved to see the aftermath of this.
love this show
