Severance was one of the most beautiful series I watched of late. Not just intriguing, but beautiful, artistically beautiful. Very happy to hear it’s been renewed for a second season.

Let’s discuss it! :)

PS: and here you can find Severance: The Lexington Letter – the cherry on the show.

    I worry about the long gap between season 1 and season 2. A lot of shows have really suffered with such long gaps, especially ones that are as serialized as this one is.

      1.5+ years is a long time… It’ll be good to rewatch season 1 right before. I share your worries.

    Absolutely love Severance. Don’t know how to do a spoiler tag in Lemmy but I will be heartbroken if John Turturro doesn’t get a happy ending with his love interest. They were cute.

      I really appreciate that media (even if it’s pandering, whatever) is starting to show a much wider variety of romantic relationships. Representation is important, and seeing the gentle courtship between Burt and Irving was incredibly sweet.

    I couldn’t agree with you more, I absolutely loved the first season. Brilliant acting, perfect pacing and all around just one of the best science fiction shows of recent years.

    Hopefully the second season will be as good!

    I loved Season 1… it had that rarest of things in modern TV: a premise that was so intriguing, it made me think about it when I wasn’t watching the show. So many deep questions to ponder about it.

      An element that amazed me were the framings. Art. I’ve never seen something like that, besides maybe in some films by Kubrick like A Clockwork Orange and 2001.

    When is season 2 supposed to come out? They kinda teased it last year during Apple’s iPhone event but I haven’t heard anything about it since.

    I watched Severance by mistake, thinking I was watching Succession, which meant I was totally disoriented for the first few episodes as I waited for Brian Cox to turn up. It was glorious. Can totally recommend.

    Just finished watching it. Absolutely fantastic television. The last episode has me so tense I’m actually shaking.

    So well shot, the music thoughout. The way it builds tention. chefs kiss
