I couldn’t find a thread. Anyone watching? Third episode dropped today. I’m hooked.

Basic premise is people work at a company where they have an operation that makes them forget everything about their outside life at work and Vice versa when they leave work. Created by Ben Stiller I believe.

Wife and I started the first two. She gave up but I'm still interested in it. Thanks for the reminder I need to catch up tonight. I really like the idea of it. Ben Stiller said he had to mess up Adam's hair in the show because it was too perfect

Have enjoyed it so far. Haven't seen Ep. 3 yet. Thanks for the reminder.

ETA: Caught the new one. This is really good so far. Favorite new show in a while.

Really enjoying it. I binged it this week and am ready for the next episode. Curious to see some other characters outies. I wonder what the relationship between John Tutturo and Walken is on the outside.

Watched six episodes. Gave up. Pointless and I don’t like Adam Scott and the chick. Didn’t care about the characters at all.

Hope some of you enjoy it. We didn’t.

Just stumbled on the Reddit Community
So many theories so little time to read them all :)

Big fan of the show! Just ran through the whole season in 2 sittings, really well-written and great acting.

The only question I have, though, is why do some people look at this as such a horrific thing to do? I get the weird dynamic where you’ve basically created this new person who just works and does your job for you without any say in the matter. I actually thought that was a really interesting dynamic that the show made me think about that never would’ve come to mind if someone originally brought-up this topic.

Outside of not being able to respond to some “can you pickup some bread from the grocery on your way home from work” type texts from the wife, why would anyone care if you can’t remember what you did at work? Like the daughter who was so distraught that her father had the procedure done. Why would she really care all that much? I don’t think I ever really talked to my dad about his work growing up so if we had some stressful job and didn’t wanna remember it when he went home, why would that he so bad?

This show is great! Am I crazy or when Mark S sister figures out her daughter is missing and was Mrs. Selvig/or Cobel that she said “my daughter in law is missing”?

I’m about halfway in, the show is awesome.

Different from everything out there.

Can’t wait to see where this goes.

It’s a must watch for the board.

Does Apple TV put out anything bad.
Just started Severance because of this board. Had a 3 month trial.
Drops of God was one of the best shows I’ve watched this year.
Black Bird was phenomenal with great acting from both lead guys

Okay I’ve got 3 episodes left and I want to write my predictions down to see how many I have correct.

- Lumin is involved with Marks wife’s death, also a good shot she isn’t actually dead but under their control somehow

- Helly’s “outie” has some connection to Lumin, she’s important somehow which is why she won’t let her quit even with the suicide attempt

- None of their requests for quitting or any other communication they allegedly get with “outies” ever get reported, even the videos they see of themselves are fake.

- Their job has something to do with the Severance procedure, they’re fixing code in the chip or something along those lines

- All of the people working there (at least in DRM) were chosen/manipulated into the job for a reason, Lumin picked/forced them all for a reason

- There are people that are severed but don’t know it, they either elected to be severed and tricked or it was done without their knowledge for nefarious reasons. The girl Devon met at the pregnancy retreat is one of those people. Even people like Milchick or Ms. Cobel may be severed and don’t know it.

- Severance does other things to people, like there may be a 3rd “person” when you get Severed that you aren’t told about who’s more mind controlled and basically a drone.



I’ll revisit this when I finish (probably tonight), and see how I did.
