Severance
I posted this on FB, but I plan on giving that up soon, so I am repeating it here:
Someone in a CRT group (on FB), of all places, recently recommended the TV show Severance, a few weeks before season 2 started. So I binged it to be ready for season 2, and it is a wonderfully quirky show which you'll either love or hate. People go through a procedure to separate their work lives from the rest of their lives. Literally. While they're an "innie," they have no memory of the outside world. They have no knowledge of their "outie's" lives at all. To them, they're always at the office. And the opposite is true. Their "outie" has no knowledge of their "innie's" lives, and none of their memories. They go to work, and their next memory is of them leaving work. It's an interesting concept on it's own, but there's also a strange cult, and rituals. Definitely worth checking out.
On a related note, Apple TV+ is also adapting Neuromancer to TV, and has completed a couple of weeks of shooting in Tokyo so far. I'm really looking forward to that one!
