People are absolutely raving about the new TV series directed by Meet The Fockers star Ben Stiller.

Apple TV's Severance is about a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives.

The star-studded cast includes Adam Scott, who features alongside Academy-Award winner Patricia Arquette, Emmy-winner John Turturro, Britt Lower, Zach Cherry, Dichen Lachman, Jen Tullock, Tramell Tillman, Michael Chernus and Academy-Award winner Christopher Walken.

You can check the trailer out below:

The official synopsis reads: "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.

"This experiment in ‘work-life balance’ is called into question as Mark finds himself at the center of an unraveling mystery that will force him to confront the true nature of his work… and of himself."

Apple TV

Fans have been amazed with the tense nature of the storyline, with one user writing: "The Severance finale was everything. One of the best debut seasons I’ve seen since the first seasons of Mr. Robot and Atlanta. I cannot wait until season 2. What a f**king great show."

Another added: "Wow...I'm in awe. The #SEVERANCE season 1 finale is the most intense episode of a TV series that I've seen in a very long time.

"The tension that Ben Stiller masterfully crafted while directing this episode will be talked about for a long time. This show is unmatched."

Apple TV

Someone else commented: "How is everyone not talking about #severance on AppleTV?

"They just pulled off the best season finale I’ve ever seen."

While a fourth user tweeted: "Happy #Severance finale day. This was one of the most compelling TV episodes I've seen in YEARS.

"Couldn't fall asleep after watching, screamed at my TV for what felt like the full hour, music almost sent me into anxiety spiral.

"I love it so much. An extraordinary night for TV."

In an interview with Rolling Stone, Stiller said that a second season was always in their sights, despite there being no guarantees.

He said: "I figured we were all in. Either we were going to be the most interesting and captivating one-season show, or we were making a move to force Apple to give us a second season."
