Each protagonist, termed as 'innies' and 'outies', reflects on the absurdity of their jobs through a cold, sterile work environment that symbolizes their suppressed individuality. While the show highlights the misery stemming from their work, it intriguingly suggests that their personal lives are equally devoid of fulfillment, thereby depicting a comprehensive landscape of modern isolation and existential discontent.
"Severance" offers an absurdist critique of labor alienation, exploring how work turns its protagonists miserable within the sterile confines of a soulless corporate environment.
The series uses a dystopian backdrop to explore the identity split between employees' work and personal lives, revealing a deeper commentary on modern existence.
