Waiting for Mark...

How I would love to go home after work and not remember a damn thing! If that was the case, work attendance would be at an all time high. With no stress or anxiousness about work, you'll just show up, because that's what you are paid to do. But that's the pros, as for the cons...

Without giving away too much, the first 2 episodes achieve putting the viewer into the mind frame of the characters who take on the bizarre act of Severance for a large secretive corporation. The viewer is then given enough interest and mystery to latch onto with a drip-feed of vital information in this beauty of a slow-burner. Overall it is an Orwellian-Kafkaesque mind teaser with a hint of Beckett's Godot dialogue. The perfect ingredient for a modern trippy journey into the unknown corporate dystopian...

Trivia
To promote the second season, a replica of the Macrodata Refinement office was constructed in a glass box at Grand Central Station, with Adam Scott, Zach Cherry, Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, and Patricia Arquette performing their roles live.

Goofs
The Lumon severed floor lacks mechanical, electrical, and fire protection features that would be found in a modern real-world office building, such as sprinkler heads, firefighting hoses, fire alarms, electrical outlets and panels, exit signs, clearly marked stairwells, and HVAC vents (the one realistic element is the occasional fire extinguisher). While it is unclear if this was done deliberately, the absence of these elements enhances the otherwordly, isolating feel of the sets.
