Escape is impossible 14.1. Division Season 1
The series is from director Ben Stiller, who, in my opinion, disappeared somewhere in the second half of the 10s, but with this series came back powerfully in the infofield.
The series tells about the employees of the company Lumon, where the technology of memory sharing was invented. After implanting a chip in the brain, your memories are divided into 2 parts (like your personality), and one you remember only what happens at work, and the other only the rest of your life.
At first I thought it was a pretty good idea. For example, I would gladly split up, not to remember how I write my diploma. But during this series, I changed my mind.
It explores issues related to what shapes a person. Can a person be complete if he does not remember a third of his life?
A lot of attention is paid to the problem of office slavery. For the series, this phrase has the most direct meaning, but it is clear that this is a metaphor for working in the office, in general. When you’re not sure what to do or why.
There is also a very addictive atmosphere, in many ways, thanks to visuals and music. The series begins with the characters walking along white empty (even sterile) corridors for a long time, nothing else happens, but you are already fascinated by what is happening. Here perfectly play the atmosphere of mystery, riddles and answers to them are served very timely and intriguing.
The only thing that may seem negative is the end of season 1 in the most interesting place. Fortunately, Season 2 has already been announced. The first three episodes may seem a little long, as they introduce us to all the characters and features of the world, but then the action accelerates and distraction is difficult.
I highly recommend Separation, this is one of the most interesting series of 2022.
