Everything about "Severance" is great and unique. The writing, the acting, the choice of sets and locations, the cinematography, the music and score, the theme, and the world building.
It starts off somewhat ridiculously and rather than turn the viewer off to it, instead layers more and more craziness as it goes on. With the weird old school looking office tech, utterly strange motivational tactics used by the managers at Lumon and insane quasi-religious element regarding the company's traditions and founding story. I'm like WTF is going on here???
It's very slow going at first. The plot reveals itself as it flows along, stream of consciousness-like. Just enough clues are revealed to keep the viewer wondering and anxious about what's to come next. And yet at the end of Season 1, we still have more questions than answers.
It would be difficult to praise the cast too much as well. In addition to Adam Scott, who won an award for his performance, we get Turturro, Walken (!) who are part of an overall hilarious and believable supporting cast.
Can't wait for Season 2!
