Still blows my mind the same guy that helped write this and directed it is the same guy that made Zoolander. What a career. World doesnt deserve Ben Stiller.

Got a lot of nearby Pennsylvania tidbits in there, and PE could be an abbreviation for Pennsylware, whatever might have brought about a place like that! :)

I always thought Severance was a sort of adaptation of I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream. Our Narrators, the protagonists, and Lumen/Management, AM. The waffles, well, they're just plain delicious.

It unfortunately hasn’t seen enough success that it truly deserves because it’s an Apple TV+ original. Their platform has around 25 million users. Compare that to Netflix’s over 230 million users, Disney+ over 150 million users… The show hasn’t been given the same opportunity, which is an absolute shame

It's elegant white collar horror. What a show!

Just a few minutes in and I love the music, your tone-attitude, bringing other books into it, and most importantly, “Hey that’s the name of the show!”

Video’s editor here! I’m always very proud of any Arrested Development reference I can make in my work! Thanks for the comment!

Ok HUGE PROPS to the editor and creator cause this video is WELL DONE. 10/10 👏👏👏

lol "cartooney old timey hobo can" Great breakdown, thanks for the essay!

WE NEED SEASON TWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!

Great video! This show is chock full of details and I always love hearing other people uncover new ones I've missed in my viewings

Nice one :) I hope we never find out what Lumen really does. The mystery is far better than any explanation could ever be.

One of the best videos from a tiny channel I've ever seen

This is just what I wanted from a Severance analysis.

This is such a well edited and written video essay that took on a new perspective ! So yummy!

subbed bc of this video, it was so insightful! looking forward to whatever u upload next

Mark s ID said 2020 so it can’t be 15 years beyond or before that

Great video. The editing is really fantastic. Nice balance between theme exploration and plot speculation- excited to see what you put out next

We need more reviews like this

Happy to be the 200th subscriber :)

thank you for putting that bit from arrested development in lol

Apple devices exist in the world of Severance but not in the severed world. The only cell phone we see on the severed floor is Milchick’s phone which has a pronounced antenna.

Well done, and congrats on 10k views!

You've blown my mind with some of the stuff you said

Wonderful video! I am commenting for engagement/algorithm purposes because this video deserves to get picked up

well done, you got me with the clickbait and kept me with the essay, good job

9:07 You're right. It's not entirely true. melon gets tastier all the time.

Pretty sure I heard that the show creators stated it was in a parallel universe

Fantastic quality

Anyone else notice how there are four tempors and four categories in macro data refinement And you see two of the categories names Fr (frolic most likely) Dr (dread) Also all the files have human names 🤔

Great video. Thank you

It would make sense how mark’s wife is still “alive” as an Innie even though she died irl.

I would argue the "outie" (official term of the show) parts are the ghosts of the characters in this show. The "mundane" (my choice of term) life are where the repressed memories and histories really haunt, and this clean, simple, "infantilized" world, the "work" life, is how they chose to live. In other words, we are the ghosts haunting this earth.

Underrated video keep making vids like this!

thanks to my recomendation i found your channel, great video

Only 30 seconds in and I’m sold

0:58 doesn't it take place in Kier, Pennsylvania? From S1E9, when Irving pulls out that map to find Burt?

Fantastic. Subbed.

WOW! I didn't realize Zendaya was a Severance Fan!

Great video!

EXCELLENT video ♥

it takes place in upstate ny

Snow everywhere - what is the supposed location- Pennsylvania, Minnesota?

This was great 🎉

This ain’t related to the video but imagine the uses of severance on everyday jobs the effect on so many people not even office jobs just general jobs like fast food or retail

You made me watch it :3

All the more reason they are not the evil in a dystopian series.

shows in 2020. the date is on marc's badge

Go online and read the Lexington letter written by Ben Stiller as an unseen character on the show who Lumon murdered aka she accidentally died in a car crash.... Just read it.

Love this show and appreciate your theory. Thought provoking. Hoping the writers strike doesn’t delay second season too long 😢

What if someone gets sick?

Hey, that's the name of the show! :)

i do not f=cking know what I just watched, but it looked intriguing

I’m from Delaware. I feel like I work at lumen.

I thought they were in Pennsylvania since the addresses on Burts list say PE

Milcheck!

yea background music was so loud & bad. so not Ghosts what you described split personality

5:18 yeah it's not about what lumon is doing but also based on what there doing mark and his colleagues are at least one of the products lumon will sell. It's business to business and business to government sort of product. Not the individuals but the technology and methodologies there designing and training. Theirs also the case of the board of directors probably being made up of past lumon CEOs who have uploaded there minds to some sort of shared neural activity emulator that gives them a sort of virtual immortality but I digress. I never watched that show doll house were all familiar with the technology in the matrix that allows neo to know kungfu or trinity to fly a helicopter. we know of star treks borg Jupiter brains and upload heavens? so many ways I could guess they were going with this. besides the visual media it's in the written media as well. But they are the lab mice and some of the other department seem to be making materials for others to control there own versions of lab mice once they get the license. you probably said all that in the video but I sort of started writing half way in.

Howdy Stanley! Video’s editor here. Thanks for watching and I’m very glad you liked it overall! I used mostly jazz in it because of the show’s iconic use of “defiant jazz” as a genre within the Severance universe. Other than that, I tried to match the emotional and conceptual weight being discussed to specific ~vibes~ in the music. If you think it was a weird choice, then I’d advise you to watch our Barry video as well! Its bizarre!

I love the video but would find it easier to listen to without the background jazz 😂

It's about addiction to pharmaceutical drugs post trauma. Though, I've enjoyed your video and theory. Thanks.

Annoying music.

I wish the people who narrate these videos would learn to speak slowly and precisely. It's also distracting when they mispronounce words (like obs-fu-cation instead of ob-fu-scation) and names(Elaina instead of Helena and Regabh-ai instead of Regabh -ee)
