What is “Severance” about?
Severance: A Mind-Bending Corporate Thriller
"Severance" is a critically acclaimed dystopian psychological thriller series that explores the profound implications of a groundbreaking corporate procedure called "severance." This controversial process surgically divides an employee's memories between their work life (their "innie") and their personal life (their "outie"). When severed employees are at work, they have no recollection of their outside lives, and when they leave the office, they have no memory of their workday.
The series primarily follows Mark Scout, an employee at the mysterious Lumon Industries, who agrees to the severance procedure to cope with personal grief. However, as peculiar events unfold within the sterile and enigmatic office environment, Mark and his fellow severed colleagues begin to uncover the dark truths behind their company and the true nature of their existence, both inside and outside Lumon.
"Severance" is praised for its unique premise, intricate plot, stunning production design, and a perfect blend of suspense, dark humor, and philosophical questions. It delves into themes of corporate control, personal identity, work-life balance, and the ethical boundaries of technology and memory. It's an enthralling watch for those who enjoy mysteries, science fiction, and thought-provoking narratives with a compelling cast.
