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.

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

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.

Turturro and Walken were simply fantastic in their roles. Long way from More Cowbell...

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.

Oh man! I'm really excited about this. Felt like it was such a unique premise and it did not disappoint.

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.

I loved Severance! It’s definitely my most anticipated upcoming season of a show

Waiting for season 2 is pain.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I'm just afraid that its gonna end up being a let down, as so many season 2s have in the not so distant past

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I am dying for season 2. Nothing comes close in quality 😭

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.

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.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for season 2!

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!

Check out Silo if you haven’t already. Quite different but also excellent sci fi
