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.

Man I love that new theories pop up even so long after the show aired.

I am so honored to have worked on this video! Also, it doesn't take place in Delaware.

I get so happy every time I see a new Severance video. For such a Masterpiece, it's quite underrated. Love ur video!

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'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!”

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

This is just what I wanted from a Severance analysis.

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

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="547">9:07</a> You're right. It's not entirely true. melon gets tastier all the time.

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

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

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

thank you for putting that bit from arrested development in lol

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

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 🤔

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.

Happy to be the 200th subscriber :)

Well done, and congrats on 10k views!

We need more reviews like this

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

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

Fantastic quality

thanks to my recomendation i found your channel, great video

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

Only 30 seconds in and I’m sold

Underrated video keep making vids like this!

Great video. Thank you

Fantastic. Subbed.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="58">0:58</a> doesn't it take place in Kier, Pennsylvania? From S1E9, when Irving pulls out that map to find Burt?

it takes place in upstate ny

“Because Apple doesn’t exist” But girl it’s literally on Apple TV 🙈

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

EXCELLENT video ♥

Great video!

This was great 🎉

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

You made me watch it :3

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

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.

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

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

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

What if someone gets sick?

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!

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="318">5:18</a> 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.

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

Woop woop!! That's my mutal!!! She's so talnted!!! 🎉🎉

Really great video but why did you have to put weird music on top of it :(

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.

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)

Annoying music.

Too arrogant with pure speculation
