The new series of Apple TV +, Severance, shows us a dystopian world in which many probably want to live. We tell you all the info here!
AppleTV+ premiered his new series, severity, which shows us a world not so different from ours but with a quite important change. With the advancement of technologies, and the events of the last two years, computers have a much more important role in our working lives. And one of the downsides of being online all the time is that you can also be thinking all day at work.
This is the first of severity: a chance to disconnect from work completely. The series is a style of sci-fi drama resembling BlackMirror. The employees of Lumon Industries may undergo a procedure called severity that allows them to psychologically separate the person they are inside the work from the one they are outside of it.
The innies, the part of our mind that only lives inside the work after this process, they can only live their own existence when they are physically inside the offices and do not remember anything from the outside. The Outies they are the original people of the employees, who volunteered to go through this process and have no recollection of what their innie did or does in his work.
This whole idea is quite striking to outies, since their workday lasts the blink of an eye and they only remember their personal life. But for the innies It is different since they do not have a life outside of work. They don’t really know who they are, or where they come from, if they have families and many other things that have to do with the outside world, but not with Lumon Industries.
As a consequence of this, by not having any type of contact with the outside, the innies are too loyal, and consider the creator of the company a style of Messiah. They are paranoid and human who find themselves trapped in the vicious circle of work work work.
In the cast of the series are adam scott (Parks and Recreation) What Mark, a widower who cannot bear his life outside of work but within it has the best job. In addition to Scottthey find each other Yul Vazquez (Russian doll) What Petey, John Turturro (The Big Lebowski) What Irving and Zach Cherry (You) What Dylan.
The series mainly focuses on one big problem: Petey He disappears and doesn’t go to work anymore. But Petey is alive and in the world outside the office he is looking for Mark to convey the terrifying message that severityand lumonThey are a threat to humanity.
severity shows us a world where “work better, not harder” it is not a simple phrase. Although it is hard to believe, despite the fact that the procedure is fictional, some of the events that inspired the series are quite real. The series has nine episodes, and the first two are already available on AppleTV+. The rest of the chapters will be released one every Friday.
