I’ll take a swing at it. It seems like your read on the show currently is that it’s a dilbert / office space style take down of the banality of office culture, which there are some little references to certainly but is not the point of the show. The real central themes are about how much of who we are is innate and how much is our accumulation of experiences (nature vs nurture). This intersects in interesting ways with explorations of authoritarianism, corporate power, religion, trauma, coping mechanisms, and scientific ethics. All of this is wrapped up in a mysterious setting and presented through fantastic acting, directing and production design. I look forward to it every week in a way I haven’t since the first couple seasons of LOST.
