Severance (2022)

Where to find it: Apple TV+
Length: Nineteen 50-minute episodes
Synopsis: Workplace mystery
Recommendation rating: 1/5

What I like about it: a couple of the actors
What I don’t like about it: everything

Review:
It’s a puzzle box with no idea where it’s going, the characters are flat, the satire is weak, Adam Scott is not a good actor, it’s ugly and way too digital, I can’t understand how the severance procedure benefits anyone, it’s laughably over-the-top, doesn’t pay off often enough for the time investment, most episodes are incredibly boring and the dialogue is overwrought and laughable. I really don’t understand the appeal, it’s like all the worst bits of Lost but set in a series of white corridors.
