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.

I skipped a whole episode, to stop myself from being bored to death, and I did not miss a beat. That's how terrible this season is. The actors save this series from what has become a writing and directing ego-cringefest. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/12/25 Full Review Audience Member I loved season one and was truly fascinated by it. This season was interesting, but I didn't find it as gripping. It is worth watching and I hope they don't drag the show out too long, but I was hoping for some different angles. A few episodes, the camping one in particular, felt out of place and a bit ridiculous. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/10/25 Full Review tammy r Severance had a brilliant concept and strong performances, but for me, the show completely missed the mark emotionally. The ending left no hope, especially with Mark’s wife, Ms. Casey, being trapped by Lumon — it felt manipulative rather than meaningful. The writers seem out of touch, prioritizing style, cleverness, and abstract themes over real human connection and relatable struggles. Watching it made me feel frustrated and disconnected, because it mirrored the kind of control and emptiness that exists in real life, without offering any catharsis or payoff. The show seems designed for Hollywood people to pat themselves on the back, rather than tell stories about actual human emotions or real struggles. For me, it was a cold, bleak experience that left me drained rather than engaged. I won’t be watching anything else from this director. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/05/25 Full Review VITALII H Perfectly done. So calculatedly addictive that I cannot explain. This show kept me in the chokehold the entire time. I was focused, I was thinking about this show all day everyday since I started watching it. This show feels like an extended episode of "Black mirror" to put it lightly if I need to explain it. This is a game changer! Mind blowing is an understatement. Both seasons are incredible. Can't wait for the 3rd one! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Read all reviews
