IMO one of the main questions posed by S2 is, Are the Innies and Outies separate people? My takeaway is no, they're not. The Innie is a separate consciousness, but they're still aspects of the same person, just with different goals and priorities.

Did I understand the point of S2? Guess not! It wasn't to my taste. That's the secret.

DA

I don't know the show this secret is talking about, but this whole sidethread is making it sound more interesting. Trying to keep people watching media about office politics by branching out into relationship intrigue that some fans will like and other fans will hate has been done to death, IMO.

But now it sounds like they dug so far into people having multiple personalities that the main person fronting is at odds with what some of their own alters get them into, romantically? That sounds ... less explored, at least.

The show is about a technology that allows you to split off a part of your consciousness to do the things that you don't want to do (mainly work, but they show it being used for other things, such as for giving birth). Neither you nor your "innie" has any accessible memory of the other's life. The innie's birth, as far as they are concerned, was the moment they wake up in the office, or wherever it is that they serve their purpose.

Due to the total split, what happens is that people's innies develop totally separate lives from their outies. Their goals, aspirations, and personalities are determined by an environment that they are never allowed to leave, and that their outie never experiences. So, any relationships that the innie forms are without the knowledge of the outie (usually, anyway), which is a whole can of worms on top of the can of worms opened by "severing" in the first place (season one mentions a woman suing because her innie got her pregnant).

AYRT

Oh. Wow. Thanks for explaining.

Hm, on the one hand, that's reminding me a little of the kind of in-person character roleplay that involves voluntarily switching front with the character you mun for. And on the other hand, it's completely not, because you're describing people dissociating from unwanted parts of their life by foisting them on another person whose life consists entirely of that.

Intiguing premise, though.

As other anon explained it's a sci-fi technology making separate personalities. Second season features more romantic relationships than season 1. Not everyone is happy about it

Re: OP

I think if an aspect of a person's consciousness lives an entirely different life, with an entirely different set of memories, and different environmental pressures and influenced acting on them, then in effect they're a separate person, even if they aren't literally separate. That's the dilemma of integration, right? Is it okay to take away the life of the innie and make them instead live out the outie's life, with the understanding that the outie's life has always taken and will always take precedence?
