The first layoff trailer promises a workplace thriller like no other
Apple TV Plus released the first trailer for the upcoming incest-centered series Quitattempts to address the common dilemma of keeping one’s home and work life separate. The series, written and created by Dan Erickson, will also include Ben Stiller, who will serve as the project’s director and executive producer.
Apple TV Plus‘ Quit is opening with two episodes to get things going. After that, brand new episodes will be released weekly for the 9-episode freak adventure. Erickson sets the story in Lumon Industries, a company adopting a new approach to work-life balance with its new severance procedure. Those who give consent go through a process of severing their work lives and personal life memories from each other. When at work, personal memory is absent, and when at home, one cannot gain memory from work.
“Every time you find yourself here, it’s because you chose to come back,” are the words that Mark Scout, played by Adam Scott, utters at the beginning. the Quit intro videowhich briefly introduces the character. Scout was elected to severance proceedings, instantly sending chills down one’s spine as the consequences of such a move quickly unraveled. Scout has established genuine friendships at work, friendships that quickly disappear as he leaves the cut-off class. While driving away, Scout almost crashes into a coworker, but he clearly doesn’t remember who it was.
Apple TV Plus intro video continues with a brief overview of Scout’s working life, ending with Scout getting a promotion because one of his best friends in the office, Petey, has quit. The robot-like nature of Patricia Arquette’s encounter with character is unsettling, coupled with the enveloping white atmosphere that makes it feel devoid of all emotions. However, things suddenly change when Petey confronts Scout outside of work, opening a mysterious door as Scout confronts the nature of his job at Lumon Industries and his psychological nature. “I used to think it would be a monster to put someone in a place like that office. Especially if that person was me,” said Petey, played by Yul Vazquez.
The Apple TV Plus Trailer creates an ominous, hopefully translatable feeling in the nine-volume series. Tension pervades every shining moment, anchored by a mystery that depends on its employees not remembering what they did when they returned home. Such secrecy suggests that something alarming may be lurking within the walls of Lumon Industries, but how the truth emerges depends on the series’ protagonist. Like any story of incest, the puppeteer pulls the ropes of every individual within its grasp unquestioningly to achieve its goal but faces turmoil when the veil from the eyes of the ignorant. Scout will become the protagonist destined to uncover the missing truth in his reality.
The cast of Quit also included John Turturro, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus and Christopher Walken. Stiller (Tropical Thunder) will direct six of the nine episodes, with filmmaker Aoife McArdle taking charge of the remaining three.
