It’s on a weekly release schedule, so only the first episode released today. Has anyone been watching this series? Did you watch the new episode? What do you think of all of it so far?
I think the series is fantastic in so many ways - concept, writing, acting, directing, cinematography, production design, music. I usually avoid watching series these days, but this show really has me hooked. I was hoping to discuss it a bit here since I haven’t found much about it on Lemmy yet. I figured that this would be a favorite with a lot of people here.
If you mention details about the story, please don’t forget to add spoiler masks and alerts.
Severance is an absolutely incredible premise, and each of the actors are perfect for their roles. I doubt the casting staff could have done any better with the choices they made. The Easter egg (if you want to call it that) in the first episode of season two is breathtaking, as soon as you realize that it is what you think it is.
Severance and Silo could probably rival Lost as far as storylines that could carry the shows for a long time.
I’m a little hyped about it. I really enjoyed the first season. I’m afraid second season is going to be a slower one with too much filler, but I’ll probably enjoy it as well.
I hope it doesn’t happen. This is one of my biggest pet peeves with most series, when they stretch the story so thin trying to milk it forever, and the main reason why I generally only watch series after they’ve finished running and are still very highly rated. Severance I think is the first exception for me in many years (decades?), so I hope they don’t disappoint me. So far I’m not feeling that. It seems that there’s a lot in store for us. I saw someone on another site comment that Dan Erickson had mentioned that the story was planned to play out over 4 to 6 seasons (or was it 3 to 6)?
Omg cannot wait to watch it. Severance is one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen.
Agreed! These days I try to only watch super highly rated shows after they have ended, like The Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad, but I’m glad I fell for this one at this time.
Very different type of show, but, I highly recommend Ted Lasso. Very light, lots of fun inside jokes, smart and quality relationships.
S1 and S2 E1 spoilers
Do we think Helly R is actually her outtie? She could be the innie and just nervous to tell MDR she is an Eagan. I’m very excited about this.
I am excited too. May even have to rewatch the new/first episode.
S1 and S2 spoilers
I personally think that it is her outie. I had that theory soon after she lied, just based on that alone, but the other forum site that shall not be named has a list of clues that were dropped in favor of this theory, from the way she walks to the way she talks and a bunch of other things.
I liked it but Jesus it was drawn out. They could have done the last season in like 4 episodes
