Keep hearing this is good, but just cannot get interested in it.


I like Adam Scott who is in some interesting things and always does a pretty good job, but ...

> Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives.

This sound like such a stupid, impossible in so many ways, plot. I just don't think I will ever get the bump to actually watch it.

They basically rent out their bodies and have their personalities split.

So when they clock in for work and enter lift they switch off for 8 hours and and their 'innie' split is a separate version of them whom goes in to do tedious work that no one quite understands is the purpose of.

The 'Innies' have zero knowledge of the outside world and vice versa

The Innies are also kind of more child like as they don't have any of the outer world experiences yet still have their personalities

So the primary will clock in and to him time will jump straight too 5pm but for the 'Innies' all they know is being in this workplace.

Things get stirred up when a new girl comes in who is won't accept the new reality and an escaped 'innie' who contacts and outy and tells him wtf is going on down their.

Then it gets interesting

None of this is Spoiler btw you get this from ep1

I felt the same, but it's a phenom. Just give it two episodes.

If in reality, you split people's memories of work life and their memories of their personal life, you get the most boring shit ever.
