Critics Consensus

Masterfully managing its two halves of adroit character study and surreal nightmare, Severance's long-awaited sophomore season makes cognitive dissonance a mind-melting pleasure.

Now that Severance has started to prod at these more existential questions about the self - well, it’s only made the show richer and, quite frankly, more loveable.

The redemption arc in many modern stories is a character finding themselves; there is no such neatness here. Severance shows us that if there is a true self, it is elusive, fleeting, transformed before you can grab it.

In order to enjoy “Severance,” I just don’t need -- or even really want -- to explicitly understand every part of it. Sometimes, a room full of goats can just be a room full of goats.

Season 2 highlights include the fascinating switcheroo of Britt Lower’s Helly R and Helena, as well as the emotionally devastating "Chikhai Bardo" episode. It unravels Ms. Casey’s true origins, while giving Dichen Lachman space to truly shine.

Nothing in 2025 had me more captivated, more ironically … Having seduced viewers into delighting in the aesthetic rituals of Lumon Industries’ corporate mystery cult, Severance … should prompt us never to let corporations into the windmills of our minds.

Pushing an emotional payoff whose outlines are much more defined, Severance sheds some of the amusing quirks of season 1 but gains a harrowingly existentialist tone.

It was a decent season however it just feels so damn slow. Like not much is happening and sure they did start t explain more of what's going on but I feel like we should of understood more by the end of it then what they have explained. Hoping season 3 will be better but I did not enjoy this season as much as season 1.

Look, I like the premise. I loved the first season. I like slow, evolving plots like in Andor. The camera, the acting, the sets - it is all very skilful. But PLEASE, PLEASE let something happen from time to time. Let it progress. This is far too slow.

Like many have said 1st season was promessing but it quickly ended with season 2 way to slow pacing and terrible ending, clearly they want to win something out of this,but by the time season 3 arrives nobody will care for this anymore.

This show was just brilliant

It’s abhorrent. So many mysteries are introduced, yet none have real meaning or payoff. The plot is boring, and the so-called experiments make little sense. Why is having 24 rooms such a monumental achievement compared to 23 or fewer? The show kept hyping up the Cold Harbor completion, but in the end it was just another severance. The love story between Irving and Burt was touching in the first season, but the outie Burt storyline here felt pointless and confusing. There was a lot of buildup around Irving’s paintings, yet nothing meaningful came from it. And the medical scenes were completely anti–common sense: drilling into a scalp without sterilization or shaving, injecting fluid into a hole that supposedly still exists after two years—just taping it over with hair still there. These scenes weren’t necessary, and if they’re only included for shock value, they should at least be done properly. Or simply say injections are used for the chip—it would be far less absurd.

It captivated me. And then the end was TERRIBLE. and now we have to wait TWO years for another. I’ll be over it by then.
