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) Apr 3
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. Go to Full Review
Emily Bootle New Statesman Mar 21
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. Go to Full Review
Caroline Framke Boston Globe Mar 20
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. Go to Full Review
Kristen Maldonado Pop Culture Planet 4d
Season 2 highlights include the fascinating switcheroo of Britt Lower’s Helly R and Helena, as well as the emotionally devastating "Chikhai Bardo" episode. It unravels Ms. Casey’s true origins, while giving Dichen Lachman space to truly shine. Go to Full Review
Mel Campbell ScreenHub Dec 29
Nothing in 2025 had me more captivated, more ironically … Having seduced viewers into delighting in the aesthetic rituals of Lumon Industries’ corporate mystery cult, Severance … should prompt us never to let corporations into the windmills of our minds. Go to Full Review
Stefania Sarrubba Screensphere Nov 24
Pushing an emotional payoff whose outlines are much more defined, Severance sheds some of the amusing quirks of season 1 but gains a harrowingly existentialist tone. Go to Full Review

Caity R @Caity0787 2d It captivated me. And then the end was TERRIBLE. and now we have to wait TWO years for another. I’ll be over it by then. See more Noah H 2d SOOOOOOO BOOOOOORINGG! I literally wanted to fall asleep twice after watching the first episode of this season. The pacing goes at the speed of MOLASSES. Music was cool but the pacing dragged like CRAZY. Not looking forward to season 3. See more Ken D @KDLondon 2d Episodes 1-6: Captivating and engaging. A fantastic series for the most part, with well-constructed complexity in both the plot and the characters. However… Episode 7: Oh dear!! Such arrogance of the writer and director to labour a backstory that added very little of value and only served to confirm what any viewer would have concluded from the first six episodes. Stiller suggested the episode was complicated, whereas it was just a mess! Episode 8: A very short episode. Yes, we learned more backstory, but couldn't the writers write a whole episode? Episode 9 was a catalogue of showdowns for several characters, with no captivating or engaging storylines like in the first six episodes. Episode 10: This should be closure. The dual conversation was so drawn out and unnecessary. And how did Mark’s sister become so knowledgeable and engaged? And then, they really lost the plot, and the final episode descended into a farce with such a pathetic ending. See more Sergio A @Sergio83 6d It remains a strong artistic exercise, but it loses impact by trying to stretch something that might have benefited from a less drawn-out ending. See more Timothy E @Narfinator Dec 29 This is the perfect show to put on while your getting your oil changed, getting a hair cut or even mowing the lawn. You can leave it play at home on your big screen TV while you do your errands and you wont miss a thing. Every episode drags out with zero progress in the main story line. See more Glenn R @grpersinger Dec 17 Probably the best season finale I’ve ever seen since the season finale of the first season! See more Read all reviews
