What to Know

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. Apr 3, 2025 Full Review 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. Mar 21, 2025 Full Review 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. Mar 20, 2025 Full Review William Schwartz Book & Film Globe That’s the crux of the genius of Severance and why it’s a show that only really works in a weekly format. There is no mystery if you can binge-watch the show. Aug 6, 2025 Full Review Victor Pineyro 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 Jul 23, 2025 Full Review Jared Mobarak 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 Apr 4, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

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 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 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 out of 5 stars 10/26/25 Full Review Ashton R. Still great in Season 2. Should have won the emmy over The Pitt, even though that is also very good. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Anthony Y. It deserves a four and not a three because of the last two eps and the one before the third to last, only reason it’s not a five is because of how boring the third to last ep was Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Cem Okan Y For me, this would be a very good finale. But I am pretty sure that a new season will come and ruin something about it. However, a great plot and wonderful cinematography. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/23/25 Full Review Read all reviews
