"The Consultants" is a comedic web series about Hastings Consulting, a fictional management consulting company. Whereas "The Office" is bumbling middle management, "The Consultants" is about that back-office nether region comprised of wanna be masters-of-the-universe who work hard, get paid a ton, and treat themselves too seriously!
