What is Severance?
Severance is a psychological sci-fi series created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller. It follows employees of Lumon Industries who’ve undergone a ‘severance’ procedure — splitting their memories between work and personal life. Their ‘innies’ only know the office. Their ‘outies’ know nothing of what they do.
Why It Haunts Me
- The sterile office, the too-clean hallways, the waiting that feels eternal.
- The existential horror of being trapped in a routine you didn’t choose.
- The uncanny calm of Kier quotes and smiling bosses.
- The visuals. The soundtrack. The emptiness.
