I’m not talking about the people going underground part or them not knowing why they are there, but the parts were lots of things are hinted at or plot bits dangled and then it just turns out there aren’t any answers.
I don’t feel as if that much is so unexplained that It can’t be resolved. There are no giant smoke monsters.
The Eagans and their weird mix of puritanical religion and wealthy privilege are straightforward enough. They are fucking weird and entitled and they have directed some of their giant corporation’s resources into research projects that at once delve into the metaphysical aspects of what it is to be human (the weird religion) in a way that dehumanizes and oppresses those who populate their experiments (this is the wealthy privileged part).
What are the goats for exactly? Damn if I know but I can invent multiple explanations.
What is the ultimate intention for this severance technology? Don’t know but there are multiple plausible explanations from getting people to do immoral things without question, to keeping industrial or state secrets secure. Or possibly as a form of interrogation or torture of some kind.
Why did Mark’s wife get a faked death? So his severed innie could be exposed to her as the ultimate test in how well the severance works. They have to keep her in her innie state because they kidnapped her outie, and she would fight back.

Everything I’ve seen on Severance is at least plausible and has several explanations. The show ‘From’ on the other hand can get fucked. The entirety of Season 2 was just adding more layers of questions and answering none from S1’. Sorry to distract/hijack from the main subject but man I’m still salty about that garbage.
