Severence touches a nerve with our society because we can sympathize with the parts of people displayed as "half-there". In this original show directed by Ben Stiller, their mind is split somehow so when these people work their office /cubical jobs, the half of them that works does not remember their outside of work life, and vise versa. The actors involved (Adam Scott, Britt Lower, Jon Turutrro, Christopher Walken) are great an playing their roles as basically drones in an office where all the lights are florescent, all bathroom breaks have to be accounted for, and it feels like there is no way out.
If this all seems bleak well, it is, but its also full of plot twists and joyful expressions and the idea that when we are two people we are not our full selves. People will soon meet that have met before, but these versions of themselves have not met before. These people that have become severed are in fact different people, and the left brain/ right brain thoughts are full of infinite possibilities. Will these enslaved minds break free? That's what we hope for and root for throughout, seeminglymundane struggles of sneaking around locked doors and hallways become tense beyond belief. Some of the main lives (that must spend a lot of time just sleeping when you think about it) or "outties" as they are known are the ones living a real life on the outside world. These outties are not good or bad per se, they just needed break from thr routine of work. There isn't a person alive that can't sympathize with that. The twists and turns and suspense that build up are what make the show worth watching, and I can only guess what puzzle season 2 will hold.
