The Weirdness that is 'Severance'
Severance is about breaking down facades and confronting old models that were once frameworks of our lives. The somewhat subtle message to me is it’s never too late to fall in love, no matter your insecurities.
Tripping Through
We first meet bumbling and eager-to-please Karly as she is dumped over an affair she didn't have and then fired for performing a very efficient audit on a company...that wasn't actually a client. Unemployed, broke, and lonely - she thinks her luck may be turning when she meets the perfect man but in true-to-Karly form, accidentally scares him off. (You know, that moment when you think you've asked a man over for mac and cheese but you've accidentally propositioned him with depraved x-rated activities.) Just as she resigns herself to a life of loneliness, a tragic twist jolts her into finding the inner strength to turn her luck around.
