I watched several episodes of Working! when it first came out but then I dropped it without regret. It seemed like really scuzzy, low-grade abuse humor on repeat and most of the characters were assholes. I really wanted that one violent girl to get punched in the face or for one of the other employees to fucking act like they cared that someone was getting injured repeatedly by a coworker. I decided I had no respect for any of them.

However, recently, due to boredom, I wanted the first episode of season 3. And, well, Yamada.

I guess what I want to know is if the second season is worth watching, too. Is it more Yamada, or is it more "lol someone got punched"?


I don't think it was ever really "scuzzy abuse humor on repeat" or that "most of the characters were assholes". Inami's character is painted as sympathetic, not domineering, and she does grow, albeit slowly. She certainly isn't hitting people because she is a sadist or anything. Also, who is an asshole exactly? You could call Inami an asshole, although I disagree with that, and maybe Hiroomi, although he is an asshole in a very "Izaya" way. Other than that, I got nothing.

While I don't blame you for not liking it, I think that it would be silly to watch S3 or S2 without watching S1, but whatever floats your boat.
