Plot recall
Here's a recap of the plot
The mysterious sci-fi drama follows the cryptic Lumon Industries in a dystopian world, where the firm makes its employees undergo a severance surgery to separate their consciousness.
The goal is to keep an office-only persona called the innies who gain consciousness once the employee logs in at work, and the outies, who wake up to live the life beyond the cubicles.
Our protagonist Mark (Scott), however, gets visited by a supposedly dead employee and thus begins the unraveling of mysteries.
