Severance

from Dystopian Fiction Has Been Moved to Current Affairs · host Clare Coombe

In Episode 30, Masha and Clare are talking about the mysterious and important show that is Severance.  While not providing any answers to the many questions posed by the show's complex narrative, we do our best to unpick the ethical implications of the premise: what if a brain-chip could offer the ultimate work-life balance?  As well as discussing ideas around memory and self, we look at the way Severance parodies and amplifies the worst of workplace existence and corporate power.  If you have your own theories about the mysteries in Severance, message us on Instagram or via our website. We'd love to hear from you!
