I finally given this show a watch. The theme I most enjoy was "What is identity without memory". The "innies" and "outies" divide without memory/experience of the other and I thought was a super heavy concept. It's hard to define "who you are" without being equipped with the sum of your knowledge and experiences. Then add the rigid, cold, and inhuman/inhumane hierarchical workspace and you have a pretty gripping story. I also like the weird anachronisms, I feel like a lot of real offices have relics from the past all over the place like old equipment, old rooms, and just little baubles here and there all over the place. To me all this creates an extremely bleak (but narrative rich) escalation of alienation. The show itself is good (haven't finished it) but the premise cool. It's like Stanley Parable + Office-space + Twilight Zone + The film "Brazil".
