"To try and prove that he’s really inclusive, honest, he hires Liv, a transgender woman who ticks the diversity box, but not much else.
"Despite a non-existent work ethic, it’s pretty much impossible for Liv to get the sack, encouraging her to wreak havoc on the supermarket night shift."
The series is based on a Gray's own 2020 miniseries of the same name, which was made up of six five-minute episodes and was released on Comedy Central’s YouTube channel.
