“Severance” is a one season series that can be viewed on Apple+ and which, unfortunately, has been green lighted for a second season. I say, “unfortunately”, because the plot and events connected with it move so, very, very slowly. I mean, slooooooooooowwwwwwly. I’ve watched six of the 9 parts of season one, and all of that could have been shown in just two parts. Even though the basic plot is intriguing, there are plot holes galore, and some of the goings-on are pretty ridiculous. My SiL insists on viewing all nine parts in order to give it a fair review but, in all honesty, I can’t imagine wanting to view a season two. ---

It’s a mystery thriller with a bit of dark office humor. High level view, it’s about people who have their minds “severed” so when they’re at work they have no memory of their outside life and vice-versa. Think Black Mirror meets The Prisoner meets Better off Ted. Edit: Also, for those of you who were fans of Counterpart, it has a very similar feel to it. ---

This is interesting because, any time I start a new thread, key words will pop up if they exist in another thread. This way, I’m supposed to know if the topic has already been posted. I only saw two popups for “severance” when I created the topic and made the post, and neither one was the thread in which the word was featured. I wonder why?! ---

All I can say is, “One man’s meat is another man’s poison”. LOL ---
