Erick Omar S Make yourself a favor and watch this masterpiece Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/09/25 Full Review Bogdan B SPOILERS AHEAD Big disappointment from season 1. The overall season's direction changed from being a tight written psychological sci-fi to more and more a mythical fantasy nonsense that barely connects with the story. Episodes are a drag, it feels like the writers were desperate to add fillers to get to the obligatory 10 episodes per season. So much stuff was unnecessary and dragged out, the band stuff - is it just fan service to get milchick do dance again? the whole episode with Cobel where she's revealed as being the 'developer' behind severance (or some of it at least) and then that info isn't used for anything, Mark's sister which up until this point is skeptical and pragmatic has a change of hearts and goes out of her way to try to convince Mark to trust Cobel? Why? It's so out of character for his sister. What's the point of the goats? It's just edgy for the sake of being edgy. What's with the dopplegangers in the campout episode? Will we ever get an explanation about them? What was even the point of the campout episode? Just for Helly and Mark to share vessels? it didn't need a whole episode. What was that creepy gnome bride? Nothing is really answered, and only more questions are raised. Irv and Burt are interesting characters, and their story does raise some moral dilemmas but to me their story still feels a bit weak, fortunately their both great actors. We're told that once cold habour is completed then Gemma is gone? Is she though? Seems like she was pretty fine. The ending with Gemma screaming after Mark and Mark deciding to stay with Helly is just overly dramatic. All Gemma has to do is reach some police/authorities as a formerly "dead" person and Lumon would be in a lot of trouble thus getting outie Mark back and possibly the severed floor completely shut down. It's also ridiculous how little security the severed floor has considering the extremely unethical things happening in there. It's just very poorly done. Anyway, there's other plot holes and pseudo-intellectual unnecessary "edgy" details, but I'm quite done with this show to waste more time listing them.

É o q eu acho 😁 Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/05/25 Full Review AJ F Wow - I loved this show! It’s so fascinating seeing how they expanded on the original premise to create unique problems and situations. For example, watching the characters battle with different versions of themselves or another to achieve a goal or the questions of which version of a certain person they were in that moment. It keeps you questioning what you know about the characters and I felt that I genuinely couldn’t tell what was going to happen next most times. This show does an incredible job building tension without weapons and violence - I’m not trying to say I’m against the use of weapons and violence or anything, but what I’m trying to say is that it’s so impressive that Severance manages to create the same stakes and anticipation without using them. Across both seasons, I don’t remember even seeing a gun until the very last episode of season 2. The acting is incredible and the set design / cinematography is also amazing. It’s outstanding how they managed to create such an iconic look for this show with such a seemingly boring combination of colors (white and green) - you can’t see a scene from the severed floor without immediately recognizing what show it's from and, despite the rather mundane look, it doesn’t get boring due to the really visually interesting shots they get that often highlight certain emotions or foreshadow plot lines. The music is also both fantastically made and fantastically used. My only qualm with this show overall is that there are some hiccups in writing at times that took me out of the immersion of the show and made me ask questions like: (1) why a character was so adamant about doing something specific that they had never brought up before and didn’t really have a good reason to do; or (2) why a certain character knew a specific thing without ever having a suspicion for it / without ever having any information leading them to that conclusion. It’s almost as if they shot more scenes to lay the foundation for these plot lines, but had to cut them for time, so it just left me personally asking “where did that come from?” There were also times where I felt like the severed workers were put in situations that were completely against Lumon’s goals and there was no explanation for why Lumon would have purposely allowed the severed workers to be there / put the severed workers there - the only explanation being that it allowed for certain plot lines to develop. Overall, it is a minor issue I had and I still found the writing to be incredible, as well as the entirety of the show. I was captivated and wanted to come back for more every time I had to stop watching and go to bed. Really looking forward to the third season! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Audience Member At times a little slow but creation of back stories critical to some understanding. Still an amazing show. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/04/25 Full Review Miles P Season 2 of Severance was such a smooth and effortless continuation from season 1. The main difference I found this season was that Jessica Lee Gangé has taken her art to new heights and really pushed herself artistically. Episode 7, which was her first time directing, was a visually stunning masterpiece with such an intense emotional pull towards a character we had yet to see much of. I really hope she is given more opportunities to direct in the future, both on Severance and outside of it, as I'd love to see more of her work. Aside from the visuals, though, this season still stands tall as one of the best seasons of a show I have ever watched. The writing is beautiful, and I really enjoyed that they didn't shy away from potentially more taboo or divisive discussions surrounding the Severance procedure, and I like the way each of the characters were further fleshed out, with not a single one of them being wholly good nor wholly bad. Everyone felt grey and multi-faceted, even those we may have naturally considered "evil characters" or "main heroes" such as Helena and Mark. The show plays well on comedic and dramatic timing, and utilises irony, foreshadowing, subversion and omission very well. Severance is a show well worth watching and I'm eagerly waiting to consume season 3. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 05/01/25 Full Review Read all reviews
