    Still blows my mind the same guy that helped write this and directed it is the same guy that made Zoolander. What a career. World doesnt deserve Ben Stiller.

    Man I love that new theories pop up even so long after the show aired.

    I wish the people who narrate these videos would learn to speak slowly and precisely. It's also distracting when they mispronounce words (like obs-fu-cation instead of ob-fu-scation) and names(Elaina instead of Helena and Regabh-ai instead of Regabh -ee)

    I always thought Severance was a sort of adaptation of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. Our Narrators, the protagonists, and Lumen/Management, AM. The waffles, well, they're just plain delicious.

    I would argue the "outie" (official term of the show) parts are the ghosts of the characters in this show. The "mundane" (my choice of term) life are where the repressed memories and histories really haunt, and this clean, simple, "infantilized" world, the "work" life, is how they chose to live. In other words, we are the ghosts haunting this earth.

    Apple devices exist in the world of Severance but not in the severed world. The only cell phone we see on the severed floor is Milchick’s phone which has a pronounced antenna.

    I have no idea of what your video is about but I’ll watch it, in hopes that it is another critique to capitalism. . . Don’t let me down!

    Just a few minutes in and I love the music, your tone-attitude, bringing other books into it, and most importantly, “Hey that’s the name of the show!”
