In the dazzling dystopia of 2025 TV, “Severance” stands out by making office life so thrillingly bizarre that you’ll wish your cubicle came with a side of existential crisis. Imagine a world where your brain gets surgically split, so your work self (“Innie”) and your home self (“Outie”) don’t share memories—a corporate chimera designed by Lumon Industries, because apparently, normal work-life balance was too boring. Mark, our hero with a tragically ho-hum personal life, finds himself babysitting Petey, a dude who somehow "un-severed" himself and popped back into reality with aneurysm-style drama. Petey’s basement artistry includes frantic map-making of endlessly creepy corridors, all while secretive bosses channel their inner spy thrillers by disguising themselves as nosy neighbors. Things get even juicier when Lumon’s shadowy forces swipe a self-help book written by Mark’s brother-in-law, proving that even split-brain dystopias can’t escape family drama. Throw in secret identities, unrelenting surveillance, and a weirdly violent soul-switching brawl, and you have a show that’s basically “Office Space” meets “Inception” but with way more existential dread and fewer coffee breaks. It’s no wonder “Severance” ranks among 2025’s best TV—a perfect therapy session for anyone who suspects their office is a mind-control experiment waiting to happen.
