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.

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.

Seventh Art Studio

The way this show presents the grays in its extremely new and unexplored premise is what keeps the momentum going. Technically impressive, Severance S2 puts much of its pressure on the magnificent acting skills of its cast. [Full review in Spanish]

Rated: 9/10

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.

Give this show time. Give Season 2 even more time. It is wordfest with long corridors and the battle of the innies v the outies within your sense of self. This is unique. Scott is the main character supported by a wonderful cast This is must see tv

Extremely boring and pretentious. Absurd scenes and dialog. It seemed like hours of characters walking hallways or driving. Season 1 provided a good setup, but Season 2 lost me. I used the fast forward to get through the season to find out what happened, and got to the last episode only to find the end unbearable stupid.

An excellent continuation of the first season. A few episodes lost the pacing a little bit which was disappointing, but still overall a great watch. As for the kids: still not recommended, mature themes and profanity raise the age just like Season 1.

I loved season 1 and was very excited to see where the story went from there. Felt season 2 fell flat. Not enough questions were answered. You can only build so many mysteries on top of each other. The pacing is really poor, the way they told the story this season I found it very hard to care anymore. They made some choices in story telling that left all the mystery and intrigue they built in the first season unfinished and just started new storylines that felt as if they existed for no other reason than shock value. It was haphazard and boring and painstaking to watch. Anything I cared about and wanted to know more about as a viewer was ignored and the focused on things that added no value to the character development or overarching plot lines. A lot of what they did choose to reveal doesn’t even make sense.
