Where was The Consultant shot? Filming locations of the Prime Video series explored

The Consultant is currently streaming on Amazon Prime Video. Created by Tony Basgallop of Inside Men fame, the dark comedy stars twice Academy Awardee Christoph Waltz in the titular role. The same-named novel by Bentley Little served as the inspiration for the TV series.

The focus of the show, according to the synopsis, is on Regus Patoff (Waltz), a Crimea native who has been referred to as a "mysterious consultant." He seemingly intends to rescue CompWare, a video game company.

The Los Angeles-based firm is struggling royally after the sudden and violent demise of its young founder and also after a "prominent merger" failed. From the promotional images and videos released so far, it’s understood that Patoff is off-putting and a man of fewer words and more action, but not in a good way.

Apart from Christoph Waltz’s arresting execution as Patoff, the trailers and teasers for The Consultant also astonish your visual senses. The office scenes in particular are impressive and stylish.
