The premise of the series "Series" on the day Ericsson "North" is tantalizing and easy to understand. A large and mysterious company called Lumon has developed a revolutionary brain implantation that allows him to "separate" the heads of its employees. While the employee is in the office, they have no memories of their external lives and when they leave the office, they have no memories of their workday. That's the final balance of work/life. Of course, an unintentional consequence of the severance process is that Lumon employees are starting to develop new individuals while inside. These "injs" and "outes" even begin to see themselves as special people.

As "North" progressed, however, Lumon became only mysterious. No one is quite sure what he is doing. Leading characters (played by Adam Scott, Brit Lower, Zack Cherry and Johnon Turturo) work in the company's "macrodates" department, and the results of their work are not known. Lumon is also raising goats (!), And he insists that her employees adore the dead company founder, Kier Egan, as if he were semi-strupered as Christ. Lumon has not only corporate secrets; It seems to lead a cult.

In the end, it is revealed that the city where Lumon is Bad is Bad ... It is also called Kier. Everything is a city that is overseen by Lumon, and Lumon's spies seem to be careful about everyone in the city, especially the hazards. The company has not been transferred to a unique, frightening office, but it seems to be involved in a social experiment that is spreading throughout the city. In Season 2, Lumon's manager, Mrs Cobbel (Patricia Arquette) leaves the city and drives over 200 miles to A snowy city called a salty neck, a remote fishing village. "Severance" has been filmed in Newouble, but Kiier's real location remains unclear.

Of course, if the city of Kier is closed as an airtight social experiment, then the real time of "cutting off" can be able to Also Be unclear. Only a few clues to the series suggest when it will happen.

The first term comes from Ericsson himself. In an interview with WRAP (through Forbes), the show -the show once said that "cutting off" more or less nowadays. "We are not going for something where this is 10 years in the future, where it has been invented and there is already a cut and already exists," he explained. "It's a kind of alternative, unclear now time frame."

This statement was supported by Some clever red -starors who were able to use the screenshot of Mark Scout's driver's license (Scott). The license states that Mark was born on April 3, 1978. April 3 is going to be the birthday of actor Adam Scott, though he was born in 1973, making Mark five years younger.

The license is said to have been released in 2020, which was referred to when the first season of "Grade" was filmed. Thanks to the delays in the production, the first episodes of "Grade" did not descend until February 2022. The license, then, only further relies on the present. However, Ericsson wanted to add that time was also intended to be a little vague. Indeed, there is a retro-futuristic aesthetics of many Lumon, and much of its technology seems to be designed in the 1960s. There are more analogue to lumin than digital. Even the carpets are a shade of green that is most commonly seen during the Kennedy administration. "Separation" is present, but it is also the past.

Of course, some sharp -eyed viewers have noticed, on the above screen, that the card behind Mark's license is a 1973 Yorkyor driver's license. It is said, in very lowercase letters, "Vincent L. Tofani, Motor Vehicle Commissioner". Tofani in real life He served as a state commissioner of motor vehicles from 1967 to 1973.

The driving license of the 1970s points to a little further that "severance" takes place out of a joint time. The past and present are a kind of rubber. Of course, strange anachronisms and retro technologies are more likely to choose a design than the notion of the winning timeframe of the show.

Plus, it can be assumed that Ericsson and Executive Producer Ben Stiller not only set the same twist used in M. That film was placed in a remote forested village, in which clothing and technology seemed to indicate that it happened in the 19th century. In the end, however, the film revealed that the title village was actually a 21st-century cuff community who, several years ago, built an Amish-like enclave of retro-life citizens. They were and came across a remote tree in Pennsylvania and avoided modern technology, preferring to live like the 1800s. However, community leaders have never told their younger citizens, who were born there, which was really a year.

Will it eventually be revealed that the "cutting off" is actually going in the distant future, but only play-outings such as the 2020s, due to the actions of some unprecedented social experimenters of Lumon? I guess it's possible, and some fans on the Internet find such a twist to come In the now confirmed "season" season 3. But then, since such a turnaround was already celebrated in the "village", it can be assumed that it will not be repeated in "cutting off". So, despite some clues, it is currently safe to assume that Ericsson is a direct shooter. "Northernas", in fact, takes place "now-Esh".
