[ExI] Severance

[Anton Sherwood]

Any fans here?  I have just watched the first three episodes (one dvd) 
of «Severance», whose premise may well be known to you even if you have 
not watched any.

I did not imagine the ramifications of the partition; I imagined it 
shallower, though I cannot now say how.  Still, though innie-Mark asks 
Petey (in one of his flashbacks) how he could know what "cubist" means, 
there are plenty of signs that innies would not be lost in their home 
culture; for example, in one scene Irving speaks of "gold, silver and 
bronze" awards.

Is the use of retro equipment (Seventies computer terminals, cassette 
tape recording) meant to suggest that severance has been going on far 
longer than we'd otherwise suppose?
