All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
A thrilling, and subtly hilarious, series that takes aim at 'work life balance'. Adam Scott leads this tight ensemble, supported by the likes of screen legends such as Patricia Arquette and John Turturro, to much success.
Severance is smart enough to pull back the curtain JUST enough to get a peak of our characters most innate desires, while inviting viewers to sink their teeth into the sinister machinations of corporate conspiracy. Together, it creates a thread that you just can't stop pulling at no matter how hard you try, surely an intentional direction to reflect mood of the 'innies' of Lumon.
The first season is truly fantastic, and upon rewatch has offered up dozens of intriguing ideas to chew on.
