Synopsis:
Severance is a psychological thriller TV series that premiered on Apple TV+ in 2022. The story is set in a mysterious company called Lumon Industries, where employees undergo a surgical procedure called “severance.” This procedure separates their work memories from their personal memories, meaning they have no recollection of their outside lives while at work, and vice versa. The series follows Mark Scout, an employee struggling with grief, who begins to question the true purpose of the procedure and the company’s motives. As Mark and his coworkers uncover unsettling truths, they must navigate a web of secrets and lies.
The series was created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle. It stars Adam Scott as Mark Scout, Patricia Arquette as his enigmatic boss Harmony Cobel, and Britt Lower as Helly, a new employee who joins Mark’s team. John Turturro and Christopher Walken also play key roles as coworkers with a mysterious connection. The show has been praised for its gripping storyline, unique concept, and strong performances. The crew, including the writers, directors, and production designers, created a haunting and surreal atmosphere that keeps viewers hooked. “Severance” explores themes of identity, corporate control, and the cost of separating work from life.
