    • Trivia
      The computer terminals used by the Macro Data Refinement team have no "escape" key. This is normal for terminals in the Data General Dasher D2 series, which these appear to be.
    • Goofs
      The Lumon severed floor lacks mechanical, electrical, and fire protection features that would be found in a modern real-world office building, such as sprinkler heads, firefighting hoses, fire alarms, electrical outlets and panels, exit signs, clearly marked stairwells, and HVAC vents (the one realistic element is the occasional fire extinguisher). While it is unclear if this was done deliberately, the absence of these elements enhances the otherwordly, isolating feel of the sets.

    Brilliant!

    I had no idea what to expect when I first starting watching Severance. It not only lives up to all the hype but surpasses it. As you can see from the reviews and ratings here, people loved this show and I'm no different. I have to warn you though that's it's addicting once you start watching this and you'll want to binge it as quickly as possible. It's just such a thoughtful, original show that will have you guessing throughout the show. Along with the acting and writing the visuals are just great here. I literally can't find one negative thing to say about this incredible show. You'll have a blast watching this.
