Mark leads a team of office workers whose memories have been surgically divided between their work and personal lives; when a mysterious colleague appears outside of work, it begins a journey to discover the truth about their jobs.

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.

Clarisse Loughrey

Flicks (AU, NZ, UK)

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.

Emily Bootle

New Statesman

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.

Caroline Framke

Boston Globe

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.

Hey, Have You Seen ...?

An impressive ride that lives up to the promise of the first while also laying a foundation to ensure better pacing for the third. We might not have fewer questions, but those queries are much more focused now.

Rated: 8/10

I didn’t expect Severance Season 2 to suffer from the sophomore slump because Season 1 had such intelligent writing, direction, acting, production design, and more. Yet, here we are.

Christianity Today

Mark’s reason for electing to undergo the severance procedure is sympathetic. But the show immediately disabuses its viewers of any naiveté; this technology isn’t just an innocuous reprieve for depression.

The cinematography is gorgeous and the music is captivating. The second and third time I watched through both seasons the layers within the acting and storytelling became more apparent to me. It is very rewatchable, although some of the Cobel storyline feels too slowly paced and more a necessary information dump than the usual evenly paced revelations. I adore the way the directing, acting, cinematography, storytelling, and music come together to create a fascinating work of art. Magnificent.

This season should have had half the episodes... They're just milking it because it got famous. The ending was so unsatisfying. I regret watching season 2 and I will not be watching season 3.

Just finished season 2 and wonder why the f##k I wasted watching to this totally unpleasant ending with no answers to anything. I will definitely not watch a season 3. For what it is and isn’t the acting is intense and awesome, the actors are why I stayed with this nonsense but no more.

Beyond frustrating and boring. Think this is an experiment to see if we are dumb enough to watch. If you have to put the director and the writer at the end of the show to explain the show it is like telling a “joke” that no one laughs at. Will tell all the people (no one) I do not like to watch this.

The acting in Season 2 of Severance remains exceptional, with the ensemble cast delving into themes unique to the show's universe. Episodes 7 and 10 were particularly memorable, leaving a lasting impression. I can't wait to see where Season 3 takes us!

After an amazing first season and waiting years for a second season, this just simply does not deliver. It feels like some episodes were created as fillers, even after that huge break between seasons. The acting remains amazing and maybe re-watching at a later date may reveal more but for now I think its just ok.
