Main Topic:
Severance is a cultural juggernaut, bringing back 'water cooler' Television for a new generation - the boys have wanted to talk about this one for a while! The show follows Mark, Dylan and Irving's “innies”, working for the shady corporation Lumin, in Macrodata Refinement. Their (brief) lives are turned upside down when co-worker, Helly R, is introduced... Exploring themes of identity, corporate exploitation and grief the show is more multi-layered than a waffle party.
