What to Know

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.

Phillip Maciak The New Republic While the show giddily draws on the histories of Mormonism and Scientology in crafting this founder’s narrative, there’s originality in the writing, including a particularly memorable new story about the harms of self-pleasure in the great outdoors. Jan 31, 2025 Full Review Ben Dowell Times (UK) The vibe — and vibes are key to this show — continues to be as queasy and airless as the worst office experience. You feel submerged, as if you can almost smell the nylon and morning breath. Rated: 5/5 Jan 27, 2025 Full Review Noah Berlatsky Chicago Reader The second season is excellent television. Season one, though, was more than that—at least half the time. Jan 23, 2025 Full Review Alan French Sunshine State Cineplex When a show goes from being very good to spectacular, audiences should flock to it. Simply put, Severance is already wearing the belt for the best show on television. Rated: 10/10 Feb 15, 2025 Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator Unlike with so many of the crass, clunky, misbegotten series they churn out on cable TV these days, you never feel like you’re wasting your time. This is a subtle, original, superior product made by a team that respects your intelligence. Feb 13, 2025 Full Review Juan Carlos Galindo El Pais (Spain) Severance tells us the sinister fable of the times we live in, and herein lies its magic.

John L While Severance Season 1 was clever, quirky and original, season 2 lost me early on in its disjointed, circuitous and trippy path to nowhere (aka "Lost" land). The writing is lazy, replacing a plot and characters we cared about with gimmicky nonsense. My advice...Don't do drugs! Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Ann W I keep missing episodes because they put me to sleep. Come on, Ben Still and creators, quit coasting on a unique idea Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Ragina F One of the best shows I have ever seen! The second season does not disappoint. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review David H Just finished episode 5. There’s a lot I like about season 2, but they need to start answering some questions. So far, all they’ve been doing this season is asking them. I didn’t watch ‘Lost’ all those years ago, but I’m well aware of the stunt they pulled on their audience. I hope these guys aren’t taking us into ‘Lost’ territory. Third season or no, I’m done with this series of they do-—SO HELP ME, GOD!!! 😉 Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review John F Incredible. The concept, the characters, the attention to detail, the writing, the visuals, everything. Spoilers ahead! (If for whatever reason you haven't seen the show, WATCH IT!!!) It all starts with the question, who are you? This constant search for the characters to find out who they truly entirely are is shared with the audience, same with the the split nature of Severence, since most of us probably feel mentally split and trapped within our minds one way or another. It builds on this throughout season 1 and 2 and for me at least made me view life a little bit differently, which is a sign of an incredible film. As for Season 2, thus far (as of now Trojan's Horse is the latest episode) I thought that Woe's Hallow was the best episode. Britt Lower was incredible as Helena, especially in the scene in the tent where she mentions that she doesn't like who she is out there. It is one of the strongest connections I felt to a character on Severence, or any show/film for that matter, which is kind of crazy since she is one of the 'bad guys'. Uncovering the mystery is just the cherry on top, which so far I have been loving the look of. So far this has been my favorite I have ever seen, keep it up! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Sean M Whereas Season 1 was gripping and intriguing, Season 2 is a complete disaster narratively. It's poorly planned, severely un-developed. Worse: it makes no sense. This season has ruined everything that was great about Season 1. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/16/25 Full Review Read all reviews
