The Consultant review: Christoph Waltz can't save Prime Video's workplace thriller

The series ends with a Muzak rendering of Frank Sinatra’s “My Way” piped over a montage too full of spoilers to detail here; Waltz sings the song over the finale’s closing credits, capping the performance with a laugh. It’s a confusing moment that either makesthe bleakest, blackest satire around or a half-earnest homage to predatory capitalism. Or it’s neither.

Of course, it’s not all the show’s fault that it is so difficult to tell the story of a corporate baddie without it coming out like notes from a forthcoming Ronan Farrow exposé. Regus Patoff has a special set of skills, but his depravity wouldn’t crack the front page of the. Terrorizing or terminating employees whose smell is off-putting in some way? Plausible.
