Absolutely, the themes are presented in a believable fashion and just as importantly the people in the Severance world react to the technology in believable ways.

I mean not everyone can be Craig Mazin but Foundation was missing a lot of the basic elements that make for good storytelling

It’s a gorgeously produced narrative wreck. I really wanted to like it and there were certainly interesting parts like the clones that were fascinating. It’s been a while but I remember feeling insulted like too many episodes have Harry or someone show up at the end to deliver a five minute exposition explaining what was happening.

Lots and lots of tell don’t show ruins the fun for me which is why I’m loving Severance right now, they’re soo good at showing not telling.
