SpoilerSeverance discussion

Posted April 24, 2022 by deepblueocean in Television

I just finished Severance, which might be the only thing worth watching on Apple TV right now (grab a free trial for it!).

The weird corporate mannerisms and make work is what stuck with me the most - but it focuses more on the concept of splitting someone's experiences in two. Something that has potential, but I think has been better explored in other science fiction work.

I'd be curious to hear anyone else's thoughts.

Yeah, maybe. The baby goats "not being ready" could suggest they in a testing/trialing period of the technology and the workers are the test subjects. But what about the scary numbers? It just seems too significant to be busy-work.

The scary numbers seemed to me exactly what busy work would look like - manipulating spreadsheets dumbed down to the maximal extent. But it is entirely possible there is a hidden meaning there.
