I've only seen Season 1 so far, waiting patiently for S2 to finish airing so I can watch it at my own pace.
I personally found it a very enjoyable watch. It's quite slow moving, but in a good way where every little thing feels deliberate. It has a lot of intrigue, and I like that in a show.
A lot of the tension in Severance comes from the interaction between characters. Whole conversations happen where the surface conversation is 'ordinary' but the subtext is doing all the heavy lifting. It's a show you can't really enjoy just by watching in the background while you scroll on your phone. You will only enjoy Severance if you are the sort of person who likes to actually watch with your full attention.
On top of that, the set and prop design is brilliant, and that's just the icing on to cake that makes the show a visually interesting experience.
Thank you!
