The show starring Adam Scott as Mark S., a grieving widower who willingly forgets who he is for the entirety of his workday, has found an audience with its portrayal of the horrors of capitalism in a large but claustrophobic office. <\/p>\n Mark and his coworkers Helly R. (Britt Lower), Irving (John Turturro), Dylan (Zach Cherry), and Burt (a spectacularly understated Christopher Walken) are trying to figure out what exactly they\u2019re really<\/em> doing in the macrodata refinement department at Lumon Industries while avoiding trips to the dreaded Break Room. They\u2019re constantly monitored by the deeply unsettling Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette), the mysterious Ms. Casey (Dichen Lachman), and steely-eyed Seth Milchick (Tramell Tillman). Mark\u2019s real family includes his pregnant sister Devon (Jen Tullock) and the always reliably funny Michael Chernus as Ricken, Devon\u2019s husband (who authors a self-help book titled The You You Are<\/em> and holds dinner parties with no actual dinner). <\/p>\n Created by Dan Erickson and with episodes directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, the show\u2019s first season finale arrives this Friday.<\/p>\n Severance<\/em> cleverly explores what it means to have a work persona separate from your \u201creal\u201d identity, where one can never leave the office, and the other doesn\u2019t remember anything they did at work. It\u2019s set in an antiseptically clean, labyrinthine building with decor and computers that recall the 1970s and 1980s (but we don\u2019t really have a sense of exactly when<\/em> we are). <\/p>\n Good performance at Lumon might earn workers a handshake, a melon party, a music dance experience (with music options like \u201cdefiant jazz\u201d) or perhaps even a waffle party, all of which are as weird and awesome as they sound. The workers start to unravel the mystery behind the cult-like Egan family, founders of Lumon, and figure out all is not as it seems. (Also: the opening credits montage<\/a> is an absolutely spectacular CGI animated feature in itself that sets the tone for the show; don\u2019t skip!)<\/p>\n The season two teaser keeps it simple, with the words \u201cYou\u2019ll feel like you never left\u201d displayed on a vintage computer screen. Yes, I just shuddered. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
