Floor (Season 1)

Floor (Etazh, 2014) is a Russian sitcom you can watch online on iFILM. The whole show stays on a single floor of an ordinary office tower — cramped rented rooms, one shared receptionist, a canteen, a smoking corner and the endless small-time bustle of tiny firms scraping by side by side.

The mix of tenants is combustible. Sharing the floor are a travel agency, a sex therapist's practice, and a totalitarian cult posing as a humanitarian charity. Friendly neighbors they are not. Space is tight, nobody can expand, and the only way to grab an extra corner is to squeeze out a rival. So every "company" beams at the others while quietly keeping a knife ready for their backs. A little office war breaks out on every front.

The cast includes Sergey Guryev, Alexander Revenko, Anna Kotova and Yuliya Yurchenko. The comedy is situational and pretty mean-spirited — a sitcom about decent enough people turning savage over a few square meters and a hallway printer. Rated 16+. Easy evening viewing for anyone who has survived an open-plan office like this one. Stream every episode of Floor (2014) online on iFILM.
