6. Severance

From the mind of Ben Stiller comes “Severance,” a mind-bending workplace drama that blurs the lines between reality and fiction. The show centers around Lumen Industries, a company that offers employees the opportunity to separate their work and personal lives through a surgical procedure. Mark (Adam Scott) is at the center of the mystery when he starts to suspect that something sinister is going on at the company. Tramell Tillman steals the show as Dylan, a quirky and mysterious figure who seems to hold the key to unlocking the truth behind Lumen Industries.

With its unique premise and eerie atmosphere, “Severance” stands out as a compelling and thought-provoking drama series. The storytelling is gripping, the performances are top-notch, and the visual style is striking. While the show may not be for everyone due to its dark and unsettling themes, it offers a fresh and inventive take on the traditional workplace drama genre.
