Everyone Is Someone

Many people fantasize about a world where they can totally disconnect from the stress of work and leave any outstanding projects, deadlines, and disagreements back at the office. However, the Apple TV show Severance spotlights the realities of such a concept.

While at first glance that may seem freeing, it is, in fact, quite grim—as the episodes compellingly illustrate.
