Severance (2022– )
7/10
Work, life balance??
14 February 2024
Separating your work and home lives might sound great, but for Mark and his merry team it turned sour.

Mark had opted a severance procedure which effectively wipes his brain before and after each shift in an attempt to cope with his wife's death. He seems happy, that is until Helly joins.

Working at Lumon is odd, weird but oddly fulfilling. There is ironic humour and some quirky characters to stay interested including a brilliant Christopher Walken.

But the initial quirkiness quickly turns sinister, as any form of disobedience is punished. The sets and locations are sparse and empty enhancing a great sense of loneliness for everyone, but an even greater sense odd someone watching and waiting to do 'something.'

This is a weird quirky mystery reminiscent of Homecoming as the team try to figure out just what the heck is going on at Lumon and what they are actually working on.

The pace is slow and sometimes frustrating but this feels pretty original and well worth a watch!
