The article explores the complex themes of the TV show Severance, focusing on its intriguing philosophical questions surrounding identity, memory, and corporate existence. It humorously reflects on the author's frustration about the characters' salaries and what that compensation represents in the context of their peculiar situation. The need to understand the financial aspects of the 'Outies' juxtaposes the show's deeper existential themes, highlighting how viewers can become obsessed with practical questions while engaging with profound narrative concepts.
My greatest frustration lies in the practical question of how much the Outies are compensated for subjecting their Innies to such quasi-religious corporate torture.
The series prompts big, existential questions: Are our identities intrinsically connected to our memories? Can a soul be split in two?
