4 TV Series Based on Unique Concepts for Those Who Already Miss Severance
Outstanding modern TV series based on a remarkable author's idea.
The concept of Severance is interesting for everyone who has at least some relation to corporate culture. In the near future, Lumon will develop a chip that will allow a person's consciousness to be divided into two parts: innie for the office and outie for the home.
The two sides of the person never overlap, and each side can have their own thoughts, memories, and even secrets.
If you are looking for other projects with unique concepts, these four series are for you.
1. The Good Place, 2016-2020
Michael Schur's The Good Place is a comedy series that seems simple at first glance. The show's plot unfolds in a universe where, after death, everyone goes to the Good Place or the Bad Place – metaphors for heaven and hell.
Kind people go to the Good Place, and manipulators and abusers go to the Bad Place. Fortunately, everyone has a chance to atone for the sins of their lives and restore their reputation.
Schur and his team use philosophy and ethics as the catalyst for developing characters who literally go through all the circles of hell in order to lift their spirits and find peace in their own hearts.
2. Arrested Development, 2003-2019
Arrested Development is one of the most famous series in the genre of cringe comedy, in which all funny situations on screen are created from a sense of deep social awkwardness.
The plot of the show revolves around the Bluth family – control freak George, emotionally distant Michael, shy George Michael, domineering Lucille and many others.
Each of the characters leads a rather chaotic, if not extravagant lifestyle. At the same time, each member of the Bluth family has a whole complex of quirks that make them instantly memorable.
3. Kevin Can F**k Himself, 2021-2022
Running for two seasons, Kevin Can F**k Himself revolves around a woman named Allison who tries to rethink her stereotypical sitcom marriage to the childish Kevin.
Most of the time, Kevin comes across as a loving but clueless partner, unable to understand or even anticipate his wife's feelings.
Kevin Can F**k Himself is a true hidden-jam sitcom, with its creators using a completely innovative approach to motion capture, alternating the traditional TV comedy format with the twitchy handheld camerawork common to indie social dramas.
4. Dark, 2017-2020
Few Netflix series have managed to grab viewers' attention like the German sci-fi series Dark. What begins as a classic missing children's mystery turns into an intergenerational odyssey in just a few episodes, with trips to the past, the future, and an alternate present.
Each of Dark's main characters is played by three actors of different ages, whose striking physical resemblance helps viewers keep track of the show's complex plot twists.
