Work in Progress

Taylor is a young documentarian and self-described sociologist with a question she cannot shake: why so many people hate their jobs, and what it would take to find work that actually matters. In this Here TV original comedy series, created by and starring Tay Barrett, she sets out across America to find her own calling by trying on other people's. Each episode drops her into an unconventional line of work, from watering plants to dating lawyers, and along the way she meets people, including her own aunt and uncle, berry farmers in Oregon, who have figured out how to make a living and a life at the same time. Drawn from real interviews Barrett conducted about job satisfaction, the six-episode series blends scripted comedy with documentary curiosity. Phil Morris, Ross Knight, Anne Berkowitz, and Carrie Wade co-star.
