Severance review: It's not funny but you won't be able to stop watching
27.02.2022 - 13:13 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
The first thing I need to tell you about Severance, which launched on Apple TV+ this week, is it's not funny.
Really not funny.
Don't be lulled into a false sense of security because it's directed by Ben Stiller and stars Adam Scott who, as Ben Wyatt, played one of the funniest characters in Parks and Recreation, a show jam-packed with funny characters.
Severance is Black Mirror meets The Office in a dystopian sci-fi thriller that defies description.
But not the American version of The Office, which at its heart was sweet and actually a bit lovely and sometimes actively hilarious.
More the Ricky Gervais original - full of awkward moments and an overarching feeling that you're watching souls dying in the purgatory of a bleak-looking office building in Slough.
To start with that felt disconcerting and a bit jarring.
But everything about Severance - from the premise to the performances, the direction through to a score which is able to evoke so much with so little - pulls you in to the point where you can't stop watching even if you wanted to.
That said, at points I found it such uncomfortable viewing that had a Wikipedia round-up of everything that happened in season one been available I might have dragged myself out from behind my sofa cushion to look up what was going to happen next.

So the office drones work all day
