Under the Boss in short
Under the Boss is a five-episode office story set in London, with a new temp, her boss and a PA who guards his diary like her own property. The first episode needs no account and the second only a free Candy account, then each of the last three costs 12 tokens.
What happens in Under the Boss
Harriet starts as a temp in a glossy London office and spends her first minutes convinced that everyone around her is prettier and more at ease than she is. The boss is the most intimidating of all, and she assumes he would never look twice at someone like her.
He does, and he makes a point of it in front of the staff. The trouble is his PA, who has spent years rearranging his meetings, adjusting his dinner bookings and making herself indispensable, and who has no plan to share any of it. What she is willing to do to protect her position is the engine of the series.
Episode 1: Shown around personally
The opener begins with the PA at work, moving the boss's four thirty to four fifteen and telling him he would be lost without her. She mentions a client dinner on Thursday and hints that the two of them could go together. In the corridor Harriet is panicking about how beautiful everyone looks, then fumbles through an awkward introduction about admiring the company.
The boss is plainly charmed, and when the PA reminds him of a nine o'clock meeting and the paperwork, he says it can wait. He would like to show Harriet around himself, and he leaves the PA standing there while they walk off together.
Who is who in Under the Boss
Harriet Seagrave is the performer credited for Harriet, the temp who cannot quite believe she is being noticed. The boss is the confident man behind the desk, and his PA is the blonde assistant whose jealousy keeps the plot moving. All of them are fictional adults.
The cast list on Candy Shorts names Harriet Seagrave, and the series page there lets you chat with the cast.
How explicit Under the Boss gets
Episode 1 is a matter of glances, an offer of a personal tour and a rival who is visibly bristling. The paid episodes follow the forbidden office fling that the opener sets up, so the series is for adults 18+.
What Under the Boss costs
The opening episode plays without an account, and a free Candy account unlocks the second one. If you decide to continue, you pay 12 tokens simply for each of the three remaining episodes, 36 in total, or you can skip the tokens with Premium.
The figures reflect November 2026, so check the Candy checkout for the current price before you pay.
Our verdict on Under the Boss
If you like workplace stories where the shy newcomer slowly finds that she has leverage, and a rival with a diary full of reasons to interfere, this one delivers that in small doses. It is tidy and quick to finish. For another story that runs on a single charged game, Truth or Dare with Emma Hix is a pleasant change of pace.
Watching Under the Boss safely
Under the Boss belongs to Candy Shorts alone, and a phone or desktop browser is enough to watch it. Anything that offers the whole series for free or labels it as leaked is probably a clip, a fake player or a trap, so begin with the official first episode.
