Shows like Severance

These shows share a preoccupation with the boundary between professional obligation and personal autonomy. They lean into the surreal nature of everyday environments, often finding dark comedy or existential dread within the rigid structures of the modern workplace and the mysterious lapses in human perception.

Expect a shift from mid-century corporate malaise to high-concept global stakes and reality-bending mysteries. Anyone attached to the sterile tension of Lumon Industries might appreciate the tech-infused corporate conspiracies of 3 Body Problem or the bleak satire of Fired on Mars.
