Synopsis/Details
After centuries of the D.O.A being lulled into a sense of eternal drudgery, the arrival of new HR recruit Albert triggers the beginning of Armageddon.
Despite the Dept. finding themselves under growing pressure to meet Upstairs’ KPIs and process all of Earth’s incoming souls, an unofficial decision is made by the team to enact a ‘go-slow’ – because once the End of Days is complete, what then for our guys? Will they be re-reckoned? Is working at the D.O.A a case of better the Devil you know? And can their procrastination postpone the Rapture indefinitely?
Across the season, we'll watch as Albert squirms and manoeuvres between the micro-managing Stephen and middle-management's Helen out to prove she can complete the Apocalypse so's not to eke out Eternity on the ring of Satan's sixth anus. Elsewhere, we ask if former Demi-God Bruce can get his mojo back and be reinstated as a Grim Reaper; If Suzie’s crush, Malik the Ghost really is into her or just playing the long game for a sweet reckoning; and will Sami ever make it out of the Waiting Room not-alive?
Episodically, as newly dead "guests" arrive at the DOA, they must come to terms with death, sweat their reckoning and justify their existence before being dealt divine retribution. But the clients will also help to create a sense of episodic comedy and lay bare the many trivialities and meddling idiosyncrasies of life that may well prevent them getting a sweet deal in death, while also influencing the agendas of our regular cast.
