Severance
Severance
Severance was one of the most beautiful series I watched of late. Not just intriguing, but beautiful, artistically beautiful. Very happy to hear it's been renewed for a second season.
Let's discuss it! :)
PS: and here you can find Severance: The Lexington Letter – the cherry on the show.

Touched on this sense of discomfort and alienation with work I have, from the kafkaesque nature and disconnect between the work they do and the result, to feeling like a different person entirely and putting on a mask to conform.
In a way, it made me want to change this about myself and let me be more me, despite all signs in my life until then pointing to that being a bad idea.
Props to the writers for making this not only an interesting and dramatic story, but also a bit subversive to corporate work environments.
This show being an Apple TV show is kind of spicy. Dissociating people mind from job and personal life is laterally something I wouldn’t be surprised Apple would do (if it was possible ofc).
I especially appreciate the likening of corporate rules and culture to actual cults. From experience, the parallels really are striking.
