What show or movie did you come to understand as a meditation on suffering and loss? (sopuli.xyz)

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.
