Severance

Leading one of the most intriguing seasonal debuts since Lost, followed by an almost perfect second installment, Severance captivates with its ingenious premise: an austere workplace where employees' memories are surgically divided between their professional and personal lives. The disquieting concept serves as a chilling commentary on corporate dehumanization, exploring the unsettling lengths organizations might take to control their workers' autonomy and identity. The sterile, labyrinthine office spaces and eerily mundane corporate rituals amplify the dystopian scenery, turning the feel of Lumon Industries into a psychological battleground. Culminating in a jaw-dropping finale, Season 2 has left viewers questioning not only their own sense of self, but the cost of compartmentalizing our lives in pursuit of productivity. As the line between personal and professional blurs, Severance has certainly left fans feeling 'divided' in anticipation for its third season.
