Severance (Apple)

I will simply not recover if…

this is the last of Irving though.

:TheoUnhinged:


Unless they remove his outies chip, they can presumably just do the reverse of what they did at the end of season 1 to get him back to "save" his innie. Or his outie might reintegrate
 
Irving has to get with Christopher Walken. Never I wanted two old men to get together so much.

Helly was wicked this episode in the end. I'm glad he did what he tried to drown her.
 
I’m watching the S1 finale to prep because I’m watching the new season tonight with my cousin and now I wished I’d watched the whole season again first.

The fucking LAYERS!
 
Just finished S2E3

This show is so fucking good I can't even cope.

Also I'm getting major David Lynch vibes from the direction and cinematography this season.
 
Yeah we binged the first 3 episodes of season 2 last night. They’ve really expanded on the visualy surreal in this one
 
The Irving watermelon head :D

Also horrified by the idea of an appraisal so long it necessitates a lunch break.
 
Fun life hack if you want to end an appraisal early is just to bring up pay at the earliest possible opportunity!
 
So was cold “let’s get back to work” Mark his outie or what? How does reintergration work? Do you become both your innie and your outie?
 
Can someone confirm something - when Helly came back out the lift and saw Miss Wong and was like “who the hell are you” was that the first time she’d been in the office since the OTC? So all the time in the farm with the sheep, looking for Marks wife, that was Helena, not Helly??

I get the swerve of her outie being undercover for the field trip (and a really good swerve too) but I felt like they were suggesting that she’d been undercover ever since the incident.

It’s just kind of annoying that her reaction to coming back into the office in the second episode was way more realistic than when Helly did it the second time. As in she was more distressed and confused. Yes of course Helena could have been faking it well, but it felt like a missed opportunity when she came back up and was just like “who are you”… it took me ages to figure out that there was so much she was unaware of, because she hadn’t been there.
 
Have you seen the latest episode? That’s a real old head scratcher of what’s what

Gemma’s outie lives below the severed floor and she goes into these rooms for things you might want to forget about and then you’re back to reality. And I believe being the Wellness director on the severed floor was just another one of these tests?

not just another one of these tests, I’d argue it’s the most important one as she’s in direct contact with her husband
 
Me: I wish this show would stop fucking edging me

Also me: WHY IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME OMG
 
I haven’t really gone in deep because I’m kinda enjoying figuring it out myself but the Reddit theories are WILD
 
It feels like a pandemic season where all the main cast are mostly separated into different storylines for easier production. I don’t normally like that but these bottle episodes have been like mini movies, they’re so well made. And I’m still invested in whatever this wider story is with Lumon.

Cobel creating severance with a few notes and some nice drawings
 
Have been saving this up because I can't bare to watch an episode and then wait a week for MORE FUCKING QUESTIONS.
 
I liked it too but I think it was a bit of a mistake to put two episodes that didn't involve the main cast as much back to back.
I completely agree with this. 5 seconds into the opening I rolled my eyes knowing we weren’t really going to get any further into WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON
 
I really can’t be arsed with Cobel turning up and giving us NOTHING and somehow also managing to take a lifetime to give us that nothing.
 
I can’t at ‘IF YOU COMPLETE COLD HARBOUR SHE DIES!’ and Mark not feeling the need to have Miss Cobel expand on that.
 
This had better not turn into Lost.

I’m so fucking invested in this nonsense. I bet the finale leaves me with NOTHING :D
 
I swear to god if we get no answers next episode AND Irv is gone I’m going to riot.
 
This second series has been very hard work. The Gemma and Cobel episodes were largely SHIT. Which is disgraceful given what an amazing character Cobel is. It's still compelling but I'm starting to care less about the answers because it's too SLOW. The pacing has been totally off this season compared with the first, which was just perfect.

Hopefully I'm BLOWN AWAY by the finale and eat my words
 
Season 2 was heavily affected by the writers strike and it does show. Hasn't bothered me though - the overall story and performance are still too good. It's more about whether we get a payoff to this fascinating worldbuilding they're doing.

I hadn't realised that, it does make sense. That explains why I was thinking during the Cobel episode "Have the writers actually written ANY dialogue?!" What a shame though!

And yes, episode 9 already picked up again. If the season had been two episodes shorter and dealt with episodes 7 and 8 in the space of two scenes, the whole season would have been so much punchier!
 
They've definitely spread about 6 episodes over 9. The cinematography and art direction saves it.
 
Just completely ignored work to watch this first thing to avoid spoilers online

I thought it was good but not great. The first half was a bit pointless, but once Gwendolyn Christie and her goat appeared, it stepped up.

Milkshake entirely pointless this episode. In fact, only the love triangle really mattered at all and they could probably have cut the fluff of the others.

The hallway scene where Mark has to choose between Gemma (and suicide) and Helly (and presumably terrible consequences for all in season 3) was excellent though, even if he was a STUPID LITTLE INNIE about it.

Gemma's actor deserves each and every award going. Easily the best character and performance across season 2

Also that was possibly my favourite death scene ever
