## Synopsis

Incorporated (2016-2017) is an American near-future science fiction thriller created by Àlex Pastor and David Pastor for Syfy. Sean Teale plays Ben Larson, a young corporate executive who hides his true identity to infiltrate a ruthless corporate world, driven by his need to save Laura Larson (Allison Miller), the woman he loves. Julia Ormond plays Elizabeth Krauss, a powerful figure whose agenda complicates his every move, while Dennis Haysbert appears as Julian Morse. The engine of the series is a constant risk of exposure, as Ben must navigate boardrooms, surveillance, and hacking while keeping his past buried. Each episode layers corporate espionage onto a widening gap between the rich and the poor, with climate change and emerging mind reading technology raising the stakes. The single season of ten episodes runs as one continuing story, and its tone is tense, paranoid and claustrophobic, with a bleak view of a world where profit outranks people. Its cyberpunk atmosphere and corporate intrigue will appeal to fans of Black Mirror, Altered Carbon and Mr. Robot. The series was canceled after its first season, leaving its central story unfinished.
