"Severance" is ultimately about people who sacrifice their identity to work in corporate America. And if you haven't watched Tramell Tillman's performance as Mr. Milchick this season, you're missing out on one of the best performances on television.

feels like it's meant to portray that he was personally very well educated and deliberately went out of his way to portray that erudition at every opportunity, and his superiors went out of his way to knock him down a peg to how he "should" talk. thankfully there's nothing metaphorical there
I so identify with this! I worked 26 years, 2 months, 21 days, and 4 hours at a large brokerage firm. I look back on that and ask myself why I gave them so much of myself…and FOR WHAT?
Makes me feel like I'm reliving having another black person join your division, then trying to not reveal yourself but find out their mindset?
Are they an inny or willing to go all out to be an inny or a pretending outty? Oh the trauma
Sydney Cole Alexander aka Natalie did a masterclsss on acting when she gave Milchick the paintings. Her eyes told everything about what she's going through, that she's not an unfeeling mouthpiece for the board. It was just a few seconds in a closeup, but it changed everything.
Wow, my assessment of Natalie was the opposite. Thought she wholeheartedly drank/drinking the Lumon Kool-Aid and deep in the sunken place. Her reaction to Seth’s query prior to the review session confirmed it for me.
27 years in banking and financial technology here: this show hits EVERY single note, right down to the "child" being in charge of things for which she has no understanding. Retirement suits me. 😂
The hallways echo the offices of the company from which I retired; endless blue hallways of empty offices with the lights turning on and off as one navigated the corridors. Except ours was the Tellabs building, not the Bellabs building

Let Milchick be a villain. He is so very good at it.
