Severance 2022

• historically comic actors, excelling in central dramatic roles
• streaming-style cliffhanger endings, mystery-box worldbuilding
• exploration of work personas, modern indentured servitude, corporate cultism
• paranoia and intrigue take a backseat to curiosity and suspense

strongly reminiscent of McGoohan's The Prisoner, in all the best ways

recommended for its slow burn, chilling manipulation, unexpected friendships, and unapologetic surrealist streak
