Severance switches between present and various times in Candice's past, so you get one part “immigrant family aclimates to life in United States”, one part “twenty-something out on her own in New York City”, and one part “not-quite zombie apocolypse”. I'm not a big fan of the “screw linearity” thing but fine, it's trendy.

But it draaaaags. I thought I was near the end and checked how much was left. I was only halfway through! The ending is really inconclusive and unsatisfying and the not-quite zombies never get explained.
