Severance Apple TV+, streaming now
Usually, I wouldn’t preview something a week in advance, but we’ve only been waiting two years for a resolution to that season-one finale cliffhanger… For the uninitiated, Mark Scout (Parks & Rec’s Adam Scott) heads a team at Lumon Industries, where employees have undergone a procedure that divides their memories between work and personal life. And nary the twain shall meet — until now. This bold experiment in “work-life balance” faces further backlash as Mark becomes entangled in a mystery that forces him to question his numbers work and his own personal identity. This time around, Mark and his colleagues discover more grave repercussions of tampering with the severance barrier, propelling them further into a dark journey. Brace yourselves for the futuristic yet distinctly 1970s realm of Lumon and its suburbs, where no one knows who’s in charge — the innies or the outies (and we’re not talking bellybuttons).
