Major spoilers below for the entire season of The Chair Company, so be warned if you haven’t yet watched it all on HBO or via HBO Max subscription.
Few TV shows make me as happy to theorize about absolute nonsense in the way that The Chair Company has over the first season’s eight-week run. Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin somehow pulled off the most batshit conspiracy thriller mystery humanly possible, and I’d like to go on record saying it’s more addictive than heroin and chocolate, either separate or together. Now that Season 1 has wrapped, with Season 2 already confirmed, I’m reflecting on how much of the weirdness surrounding Ron Trosper was actually real, and how much was all in his head.
