If you have an opportunity to see Severance, I recommend you do yourself a favor and try checking it out. It's safe enough as shows go; if you dislike it, you can stop watching any time with no permanent damage to your psyche.

The set design and camera work are enough to set it apart, with the exploration of oppressive liminal spaces unlike any I've seen in a streaming series before. The story is gripping, I don't know who told you otherwise but I disagree. Did you notice the 8.7 rating at the IMDB link you posted? Shows don't just get that high of a rating as a gift. Severance earns its bars.

It got better as the season progressed. Do you know if season 2 will be released weekly or all at once? jalan48 Jan 2025 #1
Weekly. Which will be agonizing! Coventina Jan 2025 #4

It is the farthest from garbage. Adam Scott is a great actor, and the rest of the cast is great also. NoRethugFriends Jan 2025 #7
