Here are eight reasons why you need to clear your schedule and watch the first episode this Sunday.

We can't help but feel a little flutter in our aspiring CEO hearts when we see a boss bitch tear up the establishment.

She shuts down small talk, calls out park creator Anthony Hopkins, and drags anyone who can’t keep up, all while chic-ly smoking in power separates. Not to mention, Evan Rachel Wood and Thandie Newton, who play a couple of seriously not-to-be-messed-with hosts.
