      It’s funny, I’ve known of him my entire life and have always kinda thought of him as just a “passable” actor as I think I’d just never seen him in a role that really tested his capabilities. But by the end of this show I was convinced this man needs an award for the acting he did in this series with just his eyes alone. Man is INCREDIBLE

    I kinda always thought they got the idea from the film Office Space, when Peter asks a hypnotist if he can be hypnotised to think that when he came home from the job he hated, he'd think he'd been out fishing for 8 hours instead. This series has been my fav in the last few years. Top stuff!

  • @whyitmatterstome

    Love how Severance explores the nature of identity via the metaphysical philosophies concerned with the self and how we conceptualize the nature of our reality. The question this show poses for me is how the 'innie' has no identity or power (at first), because his 'outie' has consensual power and proscribes half of his identity to the corporations whims. Yet, we root for the innie Helly who has been circumscribed servitude to the corporation by her own choice - such a strange dichotomy.

      Yeah, it's in the trailer, but never in the actual show. My guess is they cut it out to introduce us more to the whole concept of severance via Helly's perspective, to keep it with a bit more mystery at the start, but it's a good short explanation so they just used the audio for the trailer.

      Maybe because it seems Severance was a “late bloomer” for a lot of people.
      I’ll be honest..I purchased Apple+ because I wanted to watch “The Reluctant Travel” w Eugene Levy (love him best travel show ever) and then I started searching for something else I might like on A+…I got a message from them stating recommendation of “Severance”(love drama and sci-fi)…and down the rabbit hole I went all night last night…love it and I can’t get enough.
      I have 2 episodes left of season 1 yet to watch and already soooo excited there is a season 2. I haven’t finished yet only because I took a break to wander thru RUclips to see if other people loved it as much as I do and if there is a season 2!!! …it seems to be a sudden obsession for millions of people.
      Four days four days until season 2!!!

It didn't help that one single outlet for the PC data connection is NOT right next to the others in sequence, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 5, that kind of thing. I'm hovering around the 4 and the 6, trying to find [outlet] 5 - in the end, I got someone else to help me, and they found [outlet] 5 in 2 minutes...it would be so much easier this year [2023] with desktop PCs that actually HAVE built-in Wi-Fi.
