Severance (Feb 18, 2021) • Page 6

A lot of really cool stuff happened in this episode so that it doesn't feel that cliffhanger-y. I came away very satisfied and eager for Season 2.

 

I wonder if they'll do a time jump or pick up right where the season ended

 

That was so good and I am so annoyed I have to wait a year for more

 

Incredible. I couldn't sit down for the last ~20min. If this hadn't been renewed for S2, everyone would've been pissed ha.

 

That was amazing.

 

Such a stressful 40 mins. What an incredible season of tv.

 

Legit one of the best TV shows I've seen in awhile. Seems like such a cheesy concept when you first hear of it, but they pulled it off flawlessly

sidenote- cameo by Ben Stiller's sister at the end. When they are at the gala and Helly is about to go out for her speech, the woman that comes back to call her out is Stiller's sister

 

Sitting on a patio at a small brewery by my house listening to this super old dude try to explain the concept of this show to two of his friends and laughing my ass off. They’re both like “being severed doesn’t sound bad???” and laughing at him, and he’s like “but it is!!!!” but he’s not giving them any insight as to why. Could throw him a life raft but the dunks are too good

 

phenomenal finale. holy hell man

 

So goddamn good

 

Something about the camerawork when Milchick was running down the hall was phenomenal to me. And an unsung hero so far is Zack Cherry. The few lines he had when Milchick was outside the door were so emotional. Fascinated to see what happens with his character next season, if Lumon doesn’t just murk him.

 

Milchick runs like a nerd

 

yeah he’s been great in this, I’ve always enjoyed him when he’s pooped up in other stuff

 

So we know why Helly, Mark and Irv are Severed. I wonder what happens to Dylan in his life to seemingly choose Severance despite being a family man.

 

dances like one too

 

Do we know why Irv is severed? I’m still unclear on that, though it was cool finding out more about him.

 

Yeah that’s my bad, I feel like I’m clear but they haven’t stated it yet. Im buying the he’s investigating it from the inside kinda thing. Some people think he’s passing memories or messages in his sleep.

 

finally finished this, what an incredible show. I've never been more hyped to watch people walk up and down a bunch of hallways

 

yeah i absolutely loved the ending to a show I already loved

 

The whole concept of not knowing all facets/hallways/departments of the mega company one works for is the most scarily relatable aspect of this show for me and most of my friends. We were talking this weekend about how it wouldn't surprise us to come across a "goat department" given the massive scale of some of the organizations we work for

 

I feel like this show has strong marxist themes that i can’t imagine Ben Stiller being responsible for, but idk if I’m just projecting. I just don’t see anyone talking about it in those terms.

 

The scene between Mark and Ricken is so cute

 

I'm waiting for a think piece to be written about this show that calls it something like "an abstract corporate drama that critiques the idea of blindly devoting one's work self to the goals of a mega-company without context or knowledge of its broader goal. Plus CEO idol worship."

 

"Hamburger waiter prattling on about sauces" lol

 

One of the great seasons seasons of television, I was glued to the screen that whole finale damn I need season 2 like yesterday
