Apple TV+’s hit sci-fi series “Severance” has been praised as a radical indictment of the capitalist system. But its satire only scratches the surface.
This is definitely a show about emotional feelings of the situations. It’s not really what I would call an exploration of any topic other than what they think humans would be like on an emotional level being put through a world with the setup it has.
It mostly nails it to through execution but man it’s a show of vibes and triggering your empathetic response far more than it is any good for commentary.
Hm, I’d argue that it’s just as much about hierarchy as it is about emotions. Almost every interpersonal connection has some kind of power differential, and these frequently lead to abuse, exploitation and pain, whereas interpersonal connection on the same level seems to work in the opposite direction.
