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.

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. Go to Full Review
Emily Bootle New Statesman 03/21/2025
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. Go to Full Review
Caroline Framke Boston Globe 03/20/2025
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. Go to Full Review

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. Go to Full Review
Mel Campbell ScreenHub Dec 29
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. Go to Full Review
Stefania Sarrubba Screensphere Nov 24
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. Go to Full Review

Sal D @JustTheLaw Jul 6 WOW. While season 2s of a series can be tricky, this was an epic disappointment and that's an understatement. The performances remained top shelf, and there may have been a few upticks in laugh out loud moments over season 1, the pacing was awful, the meaningless and superfluous digressions felt worse than filler - as if there was NO clear ambition or arc(s) other than the obvious, which they could have achieved in less than 50% of the run time. After completing the last episode, I felt used, like I wasted my time. In retrospect, there were some amazing scenes and the characters did all pop. Then, I read of the hatred between both pioneers of the show after season 1, and how this may have bled into season 2. Well, it did, 1000% for certain. I will give season 3 a shot now that there's a new show runner, but I'll hold off to be sure it's not a dud. See more K K @JK7117 Jul 1 Probably my favorite tv show of all time. Amazing! See more G W @RT25502862 Jun 24 Leaves you wanting more but satisfies you enough to leave you hanging See more Tristan B @tristan3 Jun 17 [BOT] The ending wrecked me. See more Emilee S @RT41992114 Jun 12 I liked the scene of them running in the hallway. See more Matheus P @Padu_70 May 25 The second season maintains all the positive aspects presented previously, this is definitely one of the most spectacular series in recent memory. Even though the pace sometimes feels slow and lacks explanation, I think that’s what truly keeps you hooked until the very end. The visuals and settings are all impeccable and create an atmosphere of suspense and psychedelia, the main characters are all very likable, making you root for them the whole time. I loved how the relationship between the innies and the outies comes into direct conflict, not to mention the intriguing season finale. See more Read all reviews
