The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer

The Daily Life of a Part-time Torturer is a comedy series set in a world where torture operates as a legitimate industry. The show follows four part-time employees—Cero, Shiu, Mikke, and Hugh—working at Spirytus, a company that dominates the torture business through skill and style. Rather than dwelling on dark subject matter, the series emphasizes workplace humor and the cheerful camaraderie between team members as they navigate client sessions and office antics. The finished twelve-episode season aired during winter 2026, running from January 5 onwards.

This comedy takes an absurdist approach to its premise, treating torture as just another job where coworkers bond over shared responsibilities and unexpected workplace incidents. The humor stems from the contrast between the grim concept and the surprisingly upbeat team dynamics, office shenanigans, and even encounters with in-house assassins. If you enjoy workplace comedies with dark humor and unconventional settings, this series delivers a complete story in a single season.
