I think they've done a decent job of answering some big questions (sp)Archived Message

Is Helena posing as Helly? Yes. Is Gemma alive in Lumon? Yes, Reghabi says. Was the ORTBO real or a hallucination? Yes, with real-life implications. Was that actually Dylan's wife? Yes, we see her later at his home.
Agree there are a lot of questions about the outside world, but I don't think they have any intention of answering a lot of them. They're going for an aesthetic and a vibe, mostly.
Though I do agree with Sammich's point that its hard to imagine Lumon's corporate culture existing in any world similar to ours. But not due to its shady and nefarious dealings. Kier died 80 years ago, no way every one in the business is still that committed to him.
