I pretty much watched all 9 episodes from Season 1 of Severance in a 23-Hour time window. It has been a series that was on my watchlist for a couple on months as the concept and the trailer made me curious especially because it got high reviews with a 2nd season coming up early in January. I highly enjoyed it as it's always nice to see an original script with an interesting idea behind it.
The PlotThe entire show is about a procedure where people get their brains spit creating a version of them who only experiences and remembers the work life while the other version only has the private life. This creates a separation between life and work with the company behind it where the people work having a lit of mystery hehind it as the employees have to perform strange tasks and can only resign when their outside version demands it.
The series started excellent with the first episode kind of explaining the basic concept with the following episodes revealing all the implications that come along with it. There are a lot of hidden shady things going on and it quickly sets up some big questions you want to find answers to. Near the middle of the season it got a bit weaker for me as it mainly gave some dept to the main characters. Thimgs moves forward again toward the final 2 episodes with the enevitable cliffhanger to end with and also not really many questions answered. I'm looking forward to season 2 which starts January 17th and overall really enjoyed watching this first season.
One of the things I liked the most about it was the idea that the ones doing the work were wondering about their lives ouside and what their situation was and if they had a family and such. This made me kind of wonder what a version of me in that situation would think of me and my current life style. I can't help to think he would be quite dissapointed as I by no means am getting everything out of life at the moment. Or on the opposite side that I'm 'stuck' in the work life and that ouside there is another version of me and what I would want it to be.
New Day Goals: There will be some football matches in the evening which I will prepare and watch and I'm going to try to get my mind to start a new hot yoga year on Friday.
