Severance
One of the flagship series of 2022
At Lumon Industries, a program is put in place to separate non-work memories from work memories of employees. This way, no one knows what they did at work once they get home, and vice versa.
A chip has been inserted into their brain. Mark Scout (Adam Scott) is the leader of a team composed of Dylan George (Zach Cherry), Irving Bailiff (John Turturro) and newcomer Helly R. (Britt Lower). Working in the macro data refinement department, they must spot numbers on a screen and throw them in the trash.
Under the authority of the director of the dissociated department, Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette) and Seth Milchick (Tramell Tillman), they are the "Inters" (innies), when they leave her after 5:00 p.m., they are the "Exters" (outies).
Lumon employees worship Kier Eagan, the company's founder. They are severely bullied when they deviate from the rules, or rewarded when they stay on the "straight and narrow" and succeed at their jobs. Helly R. is rebellious, she does not understand her job and has no desire to continue to live this separation between her two worlds.
Mark Scout is approached by Petey Kilmer, his former colleague, but Mark does not know him! Petey wants to remove his chip.
Little by little, the employees of the macrodata refinement service will try to know more, to understand what happens to them, to know the life of their outies and to get out of Lumon's mental prison.
In a world where 2% of the global population has inexplicably vanished, HBO's "The Leftovers" presents a haunting narrative that delves into the complexities of grief, faith, and the human experience. Created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, this supernatural drama captivates with its compelling storytelling and richly developed characters. The first season introduces us to Mapleton, New York, where residents grapple with an event known as the "Sudden Departure," which leaves them questioning their beliefs and purpose. With stellar performances from an ensemble cast including Justin Theroux as Kevin Garvey and Carrie Coon as Nora Durst, this series not only entertains but also invites viewers to ponder deeper philosophical questions about loss and redemption.
As we follow Kevin Garvey, the local police chief portrayed by Theroux, we witness his struggles to maintain order in a town that feels more like a ghost town than ever before. His wife Laurie (Amy Brenneman) joins the nihilistic cult known as the Guilty Remnant, further complicating their family dynamics as their son Tommy (Chris Zylka) becomes involved with Holy Wayne, who claims to be the Second Coming. Meanwhile, daughter Jill (Margaret Qualley) navigates her own turbulent adolescence amidst chaos. This unique blend of personal stories set against a backdrop of societal upheaval makes for riveting television that resonates on multiple levels.
Each episode builds upon the themes of despair and hope while showcasing how different individuals cope with their losses. For instance, in Episode 1, we see Mapleton's residents debating whether to hold a tribute for those who disappeared—a poignant reflection on how society processes grief collectively versus individually. The interactions between characters reveal layers of emotion; they are relatable yet complex. As tensions rise within families and communities due to differing beliefs about what happened during the Sudden Departure, viewers are drawn into their struggles—echoing real-world conflicts surrounding faith and understanding.
