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).

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.
