| Rotten Tomatoes | 97% |

| Metacritic | 83 |
There’s something about this award-winning thriller that keeps people coming back for more despite its mind-twisting distortions. Severance is a wild trip through a suspense-filled drama with a sprinkling of comedy that will leave you questioning reality.
Through an operation called “Severance,” characters can elect to separate their personal memories from those made at work. This process results in two separate personalities, each with its own unique life and memories.
Workers call themselves “innies” because they know only a life trapped in an office. They refer to their real-world counterparts as “outies.” Innies have no knowledge of anything outside of work, including relationships, family lives, or hobbies. On the flip side, outside-of-work employees don’t know their coworkers or what they do at their jobs.
Chaos ensues when a former employee seeks out an old coworker and the innies begin to discover more about their outside lives. Pretty soon a conspiracy begins to slowly unravel.
It’s an unusual, yet relatable narrative. If you’re looking for something new or different, Severance is sure to deliver.
