Created by Dan Erikson, directed in part by Ben Stiller, and featuring an A-list ensemble, Severance is the latest offering from Apple TV Plus. Taking its inspiration from Terry Gilliam’s Brazil and Charlie Brooker’s Black Mirror, with a dash of George Orwell’s 1984 thrown in, Severance is all about work-life balance. In an age where people struggle to juggle their personal and professional personas, this savage piece of satire offers up a possible solution.
Adam Scott plays Mark S., an office worker who specializes in macro data refinement. John Turturro’s Irving and Zak Cherry’s Dylan are on his team, sitting at their computers each weekday to clean screens of information. There are numerous handbooks, but no actual training, as these old hands go on intuition rather than something traceable. Meanwhile, their immediate boss — Milchick, played by Tramell Tillman — watches and encourages but does little else.
