I think Severance was that show for me.
Could you continue, ive kinda wanted to check out that series and Id like to hear your take on it
Sure, I'm not much of a critic, but I'll write down some of my impressions.
The show centers on a group of workers who willingly "sever" themselves to work for a corporation, so fundamentally it's already based on loss. The loss of a part of yourself. Then there's the reasons that they chose to become severed in the first place, and the consequences that severing places on a person. Really, I saw it as a commentary on unhealthy coping mechanisms.
Apologies, I know that's rather vague, but it really is a great show and I'd hate to spoil it for you. I highly recommend it.
