I thought the recent first season of Severance and the associated concept was a stroke of genius.

It even managed to depict activism realistically, with lots of moral nuance and without being preachy, which in contemporary fiction has got to be a tour de force.

The sheer existential horror of the concept is fascinating though. Is it slavery? Are you still yourself? Who deserves control over one's body? It's all extremely thorny and evocative from something that's conceptually so simple. I love it.

Hope they don't fuck it up like Lost was.
