Critic Reviews
Severance Review: The Most Formally Radical Vision of the Modern Workplace
★★★★★
Apple TV+'s Severance is not a mystery box to be solved but a philosophical machine, using the sterile geometry of corporate space to stage the oldest question in cinema: who are we when no one is watching?
A landmark of television direction — sterile, sinister, and quietly devastating. Essential viewing.
