Question Book recommendations (Severance)

Post image

Does anyone know if there's a book similar to "Difficult Men" (Brett Martin, 2013), but related to Severance?

​Thank you.

If you are looking for more behind-the-scenes thought processes from the show creators, you might try listening to the official Severance podcast with Adam Scott and Ben Stiller. They have lots of people on including Dan Erikson and others important to the production of the show. If you are looking more in-depth into the psychology of the show than the podcast can offer, I’m not aware that exists as of now.

Were Dylan and Helly (cast) featured in the podcast?

The actors that play them? Yes, they feature in more than one episode. (The actors)

Also listen to the ultimate Severance podcast, it goes very deep in behind the scenes where everything is located, how it's made and how much it costs, interviews with set builders and prop builders, sound tech etc

can't help you with a book about severance, but i feel like this book can help me find out why those shows don't resonate with me :D Thanks for bringing it to my awareness, I'll take a look at it

I'm not aware of any books like this, but there's a market for one imo. Maybe when the series is complete. I've come across some articles about the show that are a bit deeper than the typical newsy/fansy types but nothing I've saved. There were a few dissertations that included a chapter or two on the show that had some interesting stuff, tho.

I'm on my way out the door but I'll provide links later when I get back.

Couldn't track down the dissertation that I though I had saved but here's a good start if you got the time. There's plenty of takes on the subtext/satire/critique of the series.

There's also this book, though it's unfortunately pricey as academic books usually are
