Finished severance s02 this weekend. Very disappointing ending to me (that I will not spoil), even though it seems like it's all anyone could talk about a couple months back.
Maybe it's because I just played Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and we were spoiled with incredible writing that does foreshadowing excellently with deep and nuanced themes, but while Severance's execution is great in the details the overarching plot left me severely disappointed. As if they got great directors, actors, set designers, dialogue, but just wrote the s01e01 hook and then kind of just made up the plot as an afterthought. Keeping up mystery for its own sake because once the curtain is pulled back, we realize the stage pieces are not that impressive.
It's still good TV but it ain't that deep and IDK why everybody's raving on about it. Anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk.
i thought it was fantastic. lots of interesting moral questions get explored based on the premise. i cant think of any episode that didnt further the narrative. i dont think theyre keeping mystery up for mystery's sake, you learn about the world as the main characters do. way better than spoon fed exposition dumps. the plots pretty simple: man wants to rescue wife. idk who said to watch it for the plot lol its everything else that makes it worthwhile entertainment
cant wait for the 3rd
Severance S1 and S2 are vastly different in quality
The first one is very very good. Gripping, with the right amount of suspense and plot advancement.
Season 2 had sooo much filler, useless plot arcs and a lot of stuff that was only included to make it MYSTERIOUS.
I was super hyped for S2 but it didn’t live up to the wait.
This show was the world's most boring acid trip. Some cool cinematography, I'll give it that, but it's just boring.
