The office has been the setting of many shows, but the workplace of Apple TV +’s Severance is like nothing you’ve seen before on television. It has much more in common with Terry Gilliam’s Brazil than Dunder Mifflin. The series, created by Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, makes the office look like a newly discovered ring of hell, where liminality is used to torture its inhabitants instead of fire and brimstone....

Created by, and to this day primarily produced by, the hard-working duo Trey Parker (BASEketball, South Park: Bigger, Longer, & Uncut) and Matt Stone (The Book of Mormon, Team America: World Police), the irreverent exploits of Stan, Kyle, Cartman, and Kenny have enraptured television audiences for twenty-five seasons and counting....

Real serial killers have had numerous movies, TV shows, and documentaries made about them. Today, we’ll look at fictional serial killers and what the best performances of said killers in movies have been. Since we’re limiting ourselves to only fictional killers, that means we regrettably have to exclude fantastic performances like Charlize Theron’s Oscar-winning performance in Monster, as that was about a real person....
