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.

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

The second season is excellent television. Season one, though, was more than that—at least half the time.

Severance tells us the sinister fable of the times we live in, and herein lies its magic. [Full review in Spanish]

Black Girl Watching

Severance is a brilliant, distinctly anti-capitalist mystery-box series that shows how powerful workers are when we unite and how our shared humanity is our greatest weapon against corporate overlords who want to strip us down to just our working parts.

Brilliant writing. Brilliant acting. Brilliant storytelling. Everything that happens in season 2 culminates into an epic finale that will have viewers on the edge of their seats with their hearts pounding.

Severance season 1 was amazing couldn't wait for season 2. Season 2 is here and I'm very disappointed. Seems like the story was supposed to end with season 1 and now they have no idea what to do. Unbelievably horrible

Season 1 was 5 stars. Not sure what the critics are seeing in season 2 that I’m not because so far this is just bad.

Season 1 was mind bending and gripping - Season 2 so far has been a delightfully confusing and slow burn that layers even more complexity and hidden gems. Truly some of the best writing and acting I’ve ever seen. Period. The bad reviews are just simply from those that have a short attention-span and can’t appreciate the intricacies of top-tier writing.

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Season 1 was absolutely a masterpiece. Season 2 has fallen completely off the tracks. We waited almost 3 years for this. The show is all over the place with no real explanation or coherent direction . Just new levels of weird. What the heck was that room with all the goats. I’ll give it a couple more episodes but I’m close to giving up on this show.

Severance Season 1 almost failed, but the amazing cliffhanger ending kept people excited about the show. However, Season 2 has proven that the creators have NO IDEA where the plot is going, and they have all the characters acting in NON-BELIEVABLE WAYS that contradict all the things that we learned in Season 1. As another critic said, it’s clear that Severance is nothing more than an exercise in STALL TACTICS. The creators have no idea what the mystery of the show is all about or what it all means, so they just go as slow as possible without revealing anything. But the worst part of all is that the characters and the story are completely NON-BELIEVABLE because not a single character acts in a believable way in Season 2. This show is dead to me.

Odd and quirky for the sake of being odd and quirky. Show reminds me of Westworld great premise but goes nowhere and adds characters and odd plots to try to keep it interesting
