Watched eps 1-2 tonight. World building. Mark is an employee at a company where he's undergone a "severance" procedure to keep his work memories separate from his non-work memories. The work is secret, so this protects the company. He has a couple of co-workers who have also been severed, one played by John Turturo. In the first ep, a new employee joins the team. In the second, more and more is revealed about his motivation to have the procedure. Christopher Walken makes an appearance.
It's very quirky/absurd, like Being John Malkovich, or Black Mirror. The set is sparse and adorned with kitschy, old tech, like CRTs and clunky keyboards. Long twisty corridors, and ominous boss, played by Patricia Arquette.
I didn't realize, maybe forgot that it's directed by Ben Stiller. It's very slow and moody. We'll see where it goes.
