Patricia C Like many others who have commented, I enjoyed season 1, which I found to be clever and engaging (and I don’t usually like anything that even hints of sci/fi). But in season 2, it’s so obvious that the producers and writers were just bucking for an Emmy, making the show as odd, as peculiar as possible—even when there is no basis for these oddities in the plotline—in order to demonstrate how edgy and deep they are. Why did the goatherders have to be so ghoulish? No reason is provided. Even worse, though, are the plot contradictions, which, bizarrely, the writers seem to be unaware of. At the start of season 2, innie Mark has inklings that Ms. Casey is his wife and is determined to look for her, but this kind of just wanes as the season progresses. And wasn’t he reintegrated? That also seemed to evaporate in the final episode. Mark’s sister acts completely out of character toward the end—that’s just lazy writing. The idea that outie Dylan would be enraged that his wife kissed innie Dylan—one and the same person—makes no sense at all. Also lazy writing. This show began with an interesting (and even interestingly plausible) premise, and season 1 slowly and thoughtfully brought us along with it. But in season 2, the storyline veered into the gratuitously absurd, and as a result, became much less interesting. After season 1, I was eager to get to season 2; after season 2, though, I just don’t care anymore.

Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/29/25 Full Review Ammar h Severance has such a cool idea, honestly it could’ve been an amazing movie. But as a TV show… I don’t know. A lot of the episodes feel like they were made just to fill space. The concept is great, but they could’ve done way more with it. I watch a ton of shows and movies, and this one is definitely not at the top of my list. It took me a few episodes just to understand what was even going on. And yeah, keeping things mysterious is good, but when every episode drags things out on purpose, it gets annoying. Sometimes I’m watching and I’m like, "Okay, they’re obviously hiding this just to keep the suspense going." Some episodes are just painfully slow. Like nothing happens until the last five minutes, and suddenly that’s where the important part is. It feels like they stretch 5 minutes of plot into a whole hour. The idea itself has so much potential—more drama, more excitement, maybe even some action. But instead, a lot of episodes are just slow conversations that feel like they last forever. I’m on Season 2, Episode 8 right now, and every episode feels like it’s three hours long. I’m hoping the end of this season gives me something big like the Season 1 finale, because right now the pacing is just too slow for a concept this good.

ITS NOT GOOD IDEA TO WATXH IT Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/27/25 Full Review Postros P I liked season one a lot, but stopped watching 20min into season two. It's turned into the tv-blob: a self-referential business worried about feeding its own ecosystem (lore, brand, budget, crew, audience familiarity, etc) instead of telling a real story which progresses naturally from where it left off. Viewers get manipulated into appreciating art that has become inward-looking, with set designs, clever angles, backstories, vibes, etc. becoming the main draw. Sure, they can be well done but does it matter? They put energy into that, instead of making the actual narrative arc artful. That is now subservient to sustaining the business. If there were real effort there, it would likely result in much earlier resolution and ending of paychecks That's what's sad about many shows. First seasons hook you because hey have to. But by season two, you can see the signs in the trailer, and certainly in the first episode, of whether they are moving forward or circling around their own mythos. If you don't care about resolution, you can still enjoy the ride in what is a good season one. I'll ignore having seen those first twenty minutes in season two. The sadder part is I'm now watching for signs of this potentiality early in first seasons. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 11/24/25 Full Review Read all reviews
