EPISODE
Sticks and Stones - Season 1
A dramatic series revolves around a person named Thomas Penso. After getting badly involved, Thomas Penso, the middle manager, is determined to do differently by recovering the client but feels he has been undermined by his team at those moments. It is possible that Bartlett created the same intensity of persecution differently from bullying in the workplace.

A standard melodrama that stretched credulity and stretched credulity and stretched credulity... until it snapped.

The premise of Sticks and Stones - bullying in the workplace - was top-notch. But in the execution it was a strange combination of being painful to watch yet too slickly over-stylised to be credible.

Sticks And Stones is more dribs and drabs.

The trouble is that it really is about middle management and that's dull, unless it's Ricky Gervais. Imagine a dramatised version of The Apprentice, and you'll have a good idea of whether or not it's for you.

Sticks and Stones rumbles along.

Chiefly, this failed to hit home because all the characters were so damned unlikable. It was like the worst ever extended episode of The Apprentice, if you can shudder to imagine that.

On the face of it Sticks and Stones tackles an unusual issue, the bullying of a team leader by his underlings, but there might be more to it than that.

It's not quite clear how entertaining this is all meant to be. It will only really be dramatically satisfying if, unlike in Bull, Thomas fights back.
