TV: Severance - Apple TV

[WeThreeKings]

Anyone else watching/watched the first season?

One of the best seasons of TV I've watched and the finale was just incredible.

Excellent music, direction, story line and the actors have been pulling off incredible performances.

Real mind-f***y.

Hands down my favourite show of the last few years. After getting waaay to absorbed by 'Lost' years ago I told myself I would check out of 'Severance' if they didn't give any answers to various mysteries. Turns out I'm a liar, they didn't answer bupkis and I loved every minute of it. Great finale. I don't like giving Apple my money for anything but I will be subscribing while Season 2 is being released.

I'm literally itching for season 2. I think they've given some answers but nothing major, it's still adding enough to the mystery and resolving some things to keep the tension and mystery up.

I just found this show and f***ing loved it.

My biggest complaint about "the Industry" today is all of the recycled ideas and reboots and repetitive super hero crap. This show is truly original.

3 thumbs up!

Season 1 was awesome. I saw this thread and was hoping to see season 2 was finally announced.

The show is officially back in production but there's likely still a long wait for season 2 https://www.inverse.com/entertainment/severance-season-2-update Season 1 had its own long filming schedule, beginning production on November 8, 2020, and wrapping in June 2021. If Season 2, which is...

i searched here on the site, so that explains the differential. The real question is which search function would Kier prefer we use?

I don’t have high hopes for them to overcome the squabbling between show runners. Nevertheless I will be there for every episode. By far one of my favourite shows of the last decade+.

Bumping this thread cause we're just a little over 2 weeks from season 2, only been waiting about 3 years for it


Honestly I'm rewatching season 1 this week because while I remember most of what happened and where things ended, definitely forgetting some of the smaller details and things that happened.


Season 1 of this show was incredible. Pretty sure I binged it in like 2 days when I watched it. Trailers for Season 2 look just as promising honestly.

Severance: Season 2 | Rotten Tomatoes

Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives; when a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.

www.rottentomatoes.com

Reviews for season 2 are starting to come in.... 100% through 40 reviews so far. Truly think we're watching what's going to be considered an all time best series in a few years from now.

Rewatched the finale last night, man this show is so f***ing good.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Season 2 premiere was so f***ing good... It some how leaves you with even more questions and even less answers then where we left off at the end of season 1.


I have no f***ing clue where some of these threads are heading.

Spoiler: Spoiler

I think they did a brilliant job at subtly but not so subtly showing that its Helena and not Helly that's inside with the innies. That's also brilliant writing IMO.

I binged through the first season just in time to get caught up without even knowing season 2 was premiering last night. Season 1 hooked me hard. Not perfect as it felt like a lot that happened at Lumon HQ was too easy for plot convenience, but still a super fun Sci-fi mystery thriller from start to finish. Gonna watch the premiere sometime tonight.

 

[HanSolo]

So many questions. So long to wait til next episode.

 

[Hockeyfrilla]

This is the best show on streaming right now

This is a pretty good supplemental (official) read for anyone that's through Season 1. Kind of calls into question my own theories about the work they're doing.

Spoiler

So the Lexington letter seriously implies that 1) this Peggy K story happened before the events of season 1 as they were still working on the tech for detecting writing while Peggy was at Lumon and 2) the work MDR does likely has some real life data analysis of some kind that could be utilized for corporate warfare...like the MDR codes may be connected to corporate espionage of some kind and they're decoding potential intel.

I assumed that they're doing an ongoing study on consciousness by trying to translate human responses into data that they can eventually use to further manipulate people psychologically. Maybe the codes can do both? Somehow? I thought the last shot of S2E1 lended credence to the idea that the MDR data was connected to psychological mapping, and Lumon was having Mark study Gemma's consciousness or subconscious for some reason. Maybe the timing of the bombing of Lumon's competitor's equipment was only incidental to the timing of Peggy clearing a file and while Peggy's letter is earnest, maybe the actual IRL author (think Ben Stiller himself wrote it) just put this out as a red herring to complicate people's theory crafting on the "important and mysterious work". This show is too good at putting a tinfoil hat on my head. Can't wait for episode 2
