I am intrigued by Severance, but there are several bits of the science fiction that don't sit well with me. Like the numbers task. I can only believe that is a fake job, used as a distraction while the severed employees fulfil some other requirement, one they are not even aware of. And severed personality activation. Does the brain chip monitor its location (by GPS? Through the skull!?) and activate by itself? Is it remote location monitoring and remote control? (Remote control is certainly possible β see overtime.) Beacons at entrances and exits? We haven't seen any failure modes of the location tracking so it's hard to know. The outdoor exercise seemed odd because it seemed like a location where there might be bad comms coverage, yet it still all worked. Location tracking seems insanely accurate, being able to tell, for example, very accurately, which side of a door a person is on. I know, it's fiction, but this kind of thing bugs me when it's meant to be plausible.
