[QUOTE="Snarf Zagyg, post: 8596897, member: 7023840"] Every now and then, I like to recommend something for people to watch or otherwise amuse themselves with. I mean .... [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/snarfs-superior-syllabus-for-binge-viewing-new-lockdown-edition-part-1.682434/[/URL] [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.enworld.org/threads/snarfs-superior-syllabus-part-2-more-binging-shows.682474/[/URL] Anyway, I wanted to take a moment to let people talk about [I]Severance[/I]. That's right, [I]Severance[/I]. It's on AppleTV+, and the season finale is this Friday ... which means that if you want to catch up before the finale, well, you better get to watching. The thing is - it's kind of hard to "sell" the show, because it's really hard to explain. I now have one episode left, and while I can tell you that I am looking forward to the next episode with the unbridled enthusiasm of an 8 year old on Christmas morning, I still would be hard-pressed to tell you what, exactly, the show is [I]about.[/I] So instead, I'll tell you that the premise of the show is pretty simple- there is a process, called severance (bet you didn't see that coming!) that allows you to live completely separate work and home lives. That's right- the "you" at work and the "you" at home are the same person, but without any shared knowledge of the other. It has a murderer's row of acting talent; Adam Scott, John Turturro, Christopher Walken, Patricia Arquette, and Britt Lower are in the cast. Of course, I think that Tramell Tillman does the most amazing job ... Most importantly, it is the most profoundly weird and surreal show on television right now. It's not action-packed, it's not a thriller ([I]per se[/I], although there are tense parts), and it's not funny (although, again, it can be really funny). But it's something quite unlike anything else currently airing- a bizarre amalgamation of [I]Brazil, The Office, [/I]and [I]Legion, [/I]but if it was told to you by Peter Weller's RoboCop. But in saying that, the show is also deeply moving, intersecting with emotional issues and grief as well. Overall, it balances on a fine line between absurdist comedy and existential horror, while still providing the grounding of real pathos and emotion. I'd give it a shot! [/QUOTE]
