Profit (1996) – Short-lived TV-show about a corporate psychopath played by Adrian Pasdar chronicling his ruthless attempts at climbing up the career ladder at the multinational company he works for. It was deemed so controversial by the network when it came out, that it was cancelled after only 8 episodes. It’s marvellous amoral entertainment, sort of the darkest soap opera ever made, and Pasdar is simply amazing in the lead role, one has to wonder why he never became a huge star. Understandably it has a large cult following and it is said that some of the series’ DNA was later incorporated into other shows about cunning psychopaths like Dexter and House Of Cards after attempts at rebooting Profit sadly came to nothing.
