Mind Fuck: Severance

A lot of people have told me I need to watch the Apple TV+ show, Severance. I avoided it for a long time, but finally I fired it up over the weekend.

Holy fucking shit, this is an INSANE show. The premise is simple. You are working for a company where you have a device implanted in your brain that spatially separates your work and home persona.

I haven’t binged the whole thing yet, just the first couple of episodes, and I am both hooked, and horrified.

The show starts with a woman sprawled on a conference table, and someone on an intercom starts talking to her.

Immediately it is freaky.

I have often expressed a desire to completely separate my home and work life and this takes it to the nth degree. I am weirded out, and yet unable to walk away.

It is a complete mind fuck. Who would’ve thought that Ben Stiller had this level of complexity in him.

Highly recommended.
