Office politics, London style
Under the Boss Candy Shorts starts on the first day of a shy new temp at a London office. The boss quickly becomes fixated on the newcomer, and what begins as a glance across the room turns into a forbidden fling.
Not everyone is happy about it. The boss's jealous PA will do anything to wreck the affair, which gives the story a triangle of attraction, rivalry and secrets kept behind a glass door.
We like that the London setting gives it a crisp, corporate backdrop, and that the rivalry between the PA and the newcomer keeps a second storyline running beside the romance. It is a good first pick if you like your fantasies with a bit of scheming.

Who will enjoy it
This one is for viewers who like workplace drama with a glossy, high-stakes feel: power imbalances, rivalries and the thrill of a secret. It is more about tension and scheming than slapstick, and the format keeps things moving in short, bingeable chunks.

More forbidden affairs to explore
The taboo genre collects stories where the rules are made to be broken. For another work-themed pick, try My Billionaire Boss or Under the Chief, both of which keep the power-dynamic theme in play. New episodes and series are added to the catalog weekly, and there are now more than 160 series to explore.
