Have you ever thought of a concept for a TV show before it came out, and kicked yourself for not making it yourself?
For me, the show in question is Severance.
Since I was a teen (32 now), I always wished I could simply sleep forever, never having to be conscious again, while an identical version of me could do everything for me, since I am very lazy and unmotivated, and don't feel like doing much of anything. My friends, family, coworkers, etc. would be none the wiser as to my death, so that there would be no pain and suffering in my absence. This identical version of me would be hardworking, successful, highly motivated to succeed, be a family man with a wife and kids, etc. In other words, I have always wanted the glory without the work.
Can you relate to this feeling?
