This is a recreation of a fictional computer program from the excellent Apple TV show - Severance.

The work is mysterious, and important.

Season 2 is going now. It’s one of my top 3 shows of the last decade, highly recommend it.

Same for me. Severance is probably the best show of last decade. The last time I had such an engrossing experience was while reading 1984.

My other two are:

- Shogun (The depiction of 1600s Japan is so real)

- Resident Alien (Funny and heartwarming to see an Alien getting accustomed to life on Earth dealing with complex human relationships with their flaws)

PS: I am sad to exclude Parks and Recreation which ran from 2009-2015 so probably considered outside of last decade.

I found Shogun the show to be relatively disappointing, after having read the book before. The book has a lot of nuanced explanations of people's motivations and philosophical/intelligent dialogue that the show just skips over, since they wanted to cover a huge tome in just one season.

This series deserved to be 2X longer to cover those imho.
