At some point we’ve all felt like Dylan G.’s "outie" — slumping through our off-hours, barely interacting with family and too tired to socialize. Once Dylan clocks out of his workday at Lumon Industries’ spartan offices on “Severance," he can barely muster enough willpower to tackle whatever it is that his wife is asking him to do.
This isn't because work has mentally exhausted Dylan (played by Zach Cherry) — or, to be specific, his outie. Since his consciousness is surgically divided between the professional life of his "innie" and downtime with his spouse and children, outie Dylan doesn't remember anything about his workdays. He is just, to put it in his innie's words, kind of a loser.
