Lou Diamond Phillips attributes the success of HBO's 'The Chair Company' to its relatable themes. In an interview at Los Angeles International Airport, he highlighted how the series captures everyday frustrations with customer service. Phillips also shared details on upcoming production for season two.
Lou Diamond Phillips, co-star in Tim Robinson's HBO series 'The Chair Company,' recently discussed the show's appeal during an encounter with reporters at LAX. He emphasized that the program's popularity stems from its depiction of common experiences, particularly the aggravation of extended waits on hold for customer support.
Phillips noted that the series resonates widely because 'pretty much everyone can relate to being on hold for hours on end trying to get some customer service.' This frustration, he said, has propelled 'The Chair Company' into the national zeitgeist. Even as a prominent actor, Phillips admitted to facing similar issues, describing a prolonged wait to connect with a representative possibly located in India, the Philippines, or elsewhere.
The conversation touched on the show's future, with Phillips revealing plans for season two production to begin soon. He expressed enthusiasm for more of Robinson's comedic style, which blends humor with recognizable real-life scenarios. The series, featuring Robinson alongside Phillips, continues to draw viewers through its focus on such mundane yet universal annoyances.
