Spoiler alert, the author drops a pretty big season 1 spoiler right BEFORE putting a spoiler alert.

Great comment! Season 1 is not worth spoiling, S2 is not worth watching

It feels determined to be LOST.

I had never heard of Severance before and was curious what exact argument was going to be made 😅

It is also a masturbatory product of Apple itself that, with such a product, would love to portray itself as a corporate that "knows" and is engaged in turning a certain work culture into a new one, where one can truly be themselves at work.

The nudges at a cult of a dead leader, Jobs, or even the exlicit adoption of apple logo and eastetics of the final event of S1, where Helly R. finds out the people oppressing her couldn't be any more similar to herself.

It's just human and their weakness. Nobody is at fault, how tragic. How convenient.

I like this blog post that calls Severance “marxist horror “.

The performance review scene was too real for me. I had to pause because it actually triggered me.

I've had too many reviews that are exactly like that, down to the weird ass report and "feedback is a gift" style.
