'Severance' puts a creepy sci-fi spin on the idea of work-life balance
CNN
The best kind of science fiction sometimes feels set about 10 minutes in the future, and so it is with "Severance," an extremely creepy, slow-moving but instantly engrossing Apple TV+ series.
The title refers to a procedure practiced by corporate giant Lumon Industries in which employees sever their memories of what transpires at work from what happens outside, and vice versa, theoretically bringing new meaning to the phrase "work-life balance."
Yet when a member of the team suddenly leaves, and a newcomer arrives, it upsets the chemistry within the office, triggering thoughts about what really might be motivating the practice -- and what the company might actually be doing that its robotic, happy-talking top brass appear eager to avoid.
Holiday movies – what a gift.
Demi Moore accomplished the unthinkable this week – and on her birthday no less.
