Severance Season 1
SCORE: 59
As we are winding down our two free months of Apple TV+ I decided to
check out Severance Season 1. There are nine episodes in this season
that last between forty minutes and fifty-seven minutes in terms of
length. This show is a bit of a dystopian thriller. People work at Lumen
in a severed capacity. A chip is put in their brain that separates their
work and their home life. Characters in Severance Season 1 do not know
what they do at work, and at work they have no idea about their home
life.
There will be spoilers in this review. The issues families can have with
Severance Season 1 are violence, blood, bad language, suicide, sex
outside of marriage, lack of attire, enticement to lust, sexual
deviancy, and more. There are some woke concepts within Severance Season
1. The managers are very abusive to their people in Severance Season 1.
Someone gets hurt and they are lied to and left a gift card as an
apology.
There are aspects of Severance Season 1 that make no sense to me. The
workers are there to find numbers that feel wrong and put them in a box.
The system knows what percent they have done. If the system knows the
percentage of the wrong numbers why do they need to find them and put
them in a box? It seems like a waste of time. The ways the workers are
tortured in Severance Season 1 are nasty.
How would your personality change at work if you had no idea who you
were outside? Mark the main character did it because his wife died and
he does not want to deal with the pain. Major spoiler at the end of the
first season we find out his wife is actually alive still. She does not
know who she is. Helly is actually the daughter of the highest person at
Lumen in Severance Season 1. Dylan finds out he has a kid and they can
be activated outside of the work site.
Irving grows from a company man to wanting to find out more answers in
Severance Season 1. Irving also finds out in the real world he is
hunting down other severed workers. There is a lot going on in Severance
Season 1 at the end. The biggest lesson from Severance Season 1 to me is
to deal with your pain. Do not hide from it. Work through it. Get
yourself to a better place. Sadly I do not have enough time left for the
second season. Never know what the future holds.
