‘Severance’ Is TV’s Best Depiction of the Pandemic Its Aftermath Without Ever Even Mentioning It
09.04.2022 - 01:29 / stylecaster.com
They say that art imitates life, but perhaps what we consider to be imitation is more accurately described as reflection. Take the American government intervention in the Vietnam War. When our country’s true motives became increasingly opaque, the antihero was born: think John Rambo from First Blood, or Mike Vronsky from The Deer Hunter; young adult men, often white, who’d grown disillusioned with authority and represented a challenge to Hollywood’s hero trope. This critical eye toward U.S. involvement in foreign nations—and whether the ends justify the means—continued post-9/11 with films like Zero Dark Thirty, The Dark Knight and Sicario; whole hosts of films with narratives in which society faced profound collapse.
But in these films, foreclosure doesn’t matter when there are zombies outside, and viral outbreaks were just a fun experiment until we actually had one. Now the question is how to address this reality on screen. We get as close to an answer as possible via the terse Apple TV thriller Severance, which, despite not being about the pandemic at all, might be the best depiction of its effects and aftermath yet seen on television.
The series follows a group of employees who work as macrodata refiners at an ominous biotech corporation called Lumon Industries on its “severed floor,” where the work memories of staffers are surgically separated from their non-work memories. The nature of the procedure means that the employees now have professional lives—known as “innies”—that are entirely unknown to their personal lives—“outies”—and vice versa.
“Severance might be the best depiction of the pandemic’s aftermath yet seen on TV.
”The pilot introduces Helly (Britt Lower) as a new hire who rounds out Lumon’s macrodata
