How Apple TV+ describes it:
From Ben Stiller and creator Dan Erickson, Severance centers around Mark Scout (Adam Scott), a leader of a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives.

Lincoln’s Dilemma
Lincoln’s Dilemma is an upcoming four-part documentary series about the “complex journey to end slavery,” and a “21st century examination of a complicated man and the people and events that shaped his evolving stance on slavery.”

Based on acclaimed historian David S. Reynolds’ award-winning book, “Abe: Abraham Lincoln in His Times,” the series features insights from a diverse range of journalists, educators and Lincoln scholars, as well as rare archival materials, that offer a more nuanced look into the man dubbed the Great Emancipator. Set against the background of the Civil War, “Lincoln’s Dilemma” also gives voice to the narratives of enslaved people, shaping a more complete view of an America divided over issues including economy, race and humanity, and underscoring Lincoln’s battle to save the country, no matter the cost.
Lincoln’s Dilemma arrives Friday, February 18, 2022.
