Belgian series Clan came out over a decade ago, and was the inspiration for this Irish black comedy about the Garvey sisters – five Irish women at the heart of a life insurance investigation when one of their husbands unexpectedly dies.
One of the best series of 2022, Bad Sisters is proof that there’s no expiration date on a great premise. Part space exploration drama, part historical fiction, and part political thriller, For All Mankind is truly one of the best shows on AppleTV+ right now. Even though For All Mankind has a fairly simple premise, its compelling story is anything but simple, and effectively blends the line between science fiction and reality. Each of the three seasons on Apple TV+ so far cover about a decade of time, showing how similar and different this alternate reality is to our own. The premise of For All Mankindcan be boiled down to one simple question: What if the Soviet Union landed on the moon before the US? Beginning with the day of the moon landing in 1969, For All Mankind shows how one change to our history could create an alternate timeline where the space race never ended and space exploration isn’t just the fever dream of billionaires. Be sure to catch up with Severance season one before season two arrives and blows the doors off of Apple TV+’s servers. and company are little more than children in suits and their innocent pursuit of answers for their strange predicament leads to some truly riveting storytelling. With no real knowledge of what goes on in the outside world, Mark S. Director Ben Stiller (yes, that Ben Stiller) makes sure Lumon’s empty walls, weird astroturf floors, and squared ceilings are always in frame, making things feel like a corporate prison. Lumon Industries is quite simply horrifying in its ruthless pursuit of bureaucratic nonsense with unclear goals. Severance uses this ingenious jumping off point to create a dark, oppressive, and intriguing atmosphere unlike anything else on television. Then, at the end of the day, their “outies” return back to the real world, none the wiser of what they did in their nine to five. (Adam Scott) and his three co-workers cross the threshold of Lumon’s office building, their work brains take over. By undergoing a mysterious offscreen medical procedure called “severance”, Lumon desk jockeys have effectively split their consciousness between their work selves and their home selves. Isn’t it hard to separate one’s work life from one’s home life? Don’t you wish there were some way to scientifically separate the two? That’s exactly what the employees at Lumon Industries in Severance have achieved. Sci-fi thriller Severance addresses a conflict that many of us have confronted in the post-pandemic era of remote work.
