Severance

It's a rare delight to experience an original idea - a device that allows you to look at things a slightly different way, that you just couldn't before. Severance is entertaining as heck, but its main concept is so absolute in its ability to bisect the characters it gives us some new, interesting questions about how we choose our work and who we work for.

I can not think of single flaw in season one. From production design to editing, everything in the show is amazing. The world and atmosphere created, the acting, center frame kerping us tense at every single moment.. And the concept.. What a great show, I hope they can keep it up in season 2 with that banger ending.

Most promising first season I've seen in a long, long time.

God this is boring. It is really boring.

Maybe the best show I have seen examining the present of work, workplaces and labor, deeply rich with symbolism and layers of meaning, gorgeous to look at and with incredible performances. It also instigates a workers revolution and honestly, what more could I want?

Intriguing premise built on top of good performances and top notch cinematography. But it's unforgivable that the writers would want me to believe that a company that keeps so many secrets has so few security guards.

I've missed water cooler shows like this, and with a killer premise and plenty of mystery and patience, it definitely fits the bill.

Cheap and stale. Too cute and quirky for a self-proclaimed sci-fi show, yet it's not even a sci-fi show. It's a fantasy-a dull, boring one at that. It's another damn cliffhanger show-90% fluff, 10% patronizing, lazy suspense. Like most TV shows, this one doesn't value your time. It wants to be Black Mirror (with some overt copying) but fails to pack even a quarter of the intellect. It's a novel concept but it offers zero depth. Lots of pretty drone shots though! Is that how low the bar is now?

One of the best debut seasons of a series I've seen in quite some time. This, along with the returns of Atlanta and Barry, April 2022 is a crazy good month for episodic series.

overbearing musical score. undergraduate-level philosophical allegory that philip k dick did better. annoying supporting characters. unfunny jokes. cheap cliffhangers that have show nothing but contempt for the viewer. smarmy typecast actors with punchable faces. FUCK THIS

Original, clever, thoughtful. Pacing issues are the only occasional drag but it pays off well if you stick with it. What starts as dull and numb, morph into some great performances and fast paced surrealistic stories.

Best season finale in a while!

the whole thing is to lead up to a huge cliffhanger final episode... Nothing happens, no development, none of the questions have been answered, not even any subplots resolved. Just some stagings and endless walks in aseptic white corridors leading to the final episode. Then, where the film finally should have to start, it actually ended. They somehow managed to make a cliffhanger for S2 giving nothin the whole S1. Welp - It's the tv serie and the viewer who were severed from the essence of the

While I can see the effort and incredible opening sequence, this one is lost on me.

It's almost stunning that it's an original idea and not based off of a book. The finale crescendo is a perfect flourish, but it takes a little bit too long of a meandering path to get there. I hope things are streamlined going forward.

I don't get the appeal of this show. Who could think the technology of the show would be a good idea? Rapacious capitalists...work yourself to death apologists...dumb dumbs? So for me there was no controversy and corporations don't need sci-fi shit to do evil shit to people.

Season 1: I really loved the slow build-up into the phenomenal two final episodes. The ending left me totally hyped.

Season 1

Starts slow but picks up the pace. Mind bending and original.

W4E2P2S2V1M1A2R3.

Vibes are a mix between Black Mirror and Handmaid's Tale. It's hard to give this a proper rating and review when we still don't know (at the end of Season 1) if the mysteries will be satisfyingly solved in future seasons. But it's well directed, well acted and properly tense. Only things I didn't like is some characters behave in an unrealistic manner regarding the situation. So, a 78 for now. Could go way up or way down after season 2.

One of the most original TV ideas I've seen in years, with one of the best first seasons I've seen in a long time. I am very excited to see where this show goes next.

While it’s slow enough to require your patience, the intriguing premise and clever use of said premise more than make up for it. The season finale is phenomenal, and made me want an immediate second season more than any other first season finale out there. Absolutely recommended if you can handle slow burns.

The beginning drags a bit but luckily remains interesting enough to keep you going.

Absolutely the most savagely intelligent and interesting tv in recent history. On multiple occasions I caught myself thinking "I wish I had made this!"

Almost flawless, a pure joy to watch.

The first season takes a bit to get going, but has you on the edge of your seat by the end. Devoured it in one sitting just to find out what happens next

This rating is for season 1. This is the best show I’ve seen since 2011, since Firefly & Star Trek TNG. Even better than early seasons of GoT because it is less graphic & needlessly lurid. It doesn’t sensationalize violence. The characters are exceptionally unique & believable. Intensely meaningful cultural commentary that is story & characters first, and never pats itself on the back.

S1: 84

Wow, Criticker predicted a 99 for me for this show. And, well, it really was the best thing I've seen in a long time. Super weird and mysterious to begin with, and honestly, stays pretty weird throughout. Very interesting watching the characters morph throughout the series. I can't remember the last time I've wanted so much more after the season cliffhanger. Hoping season 2 is just is good.

Waiting for season 2

bem interessante, algumas soluções fáceis de roteiro. amo a abertura

exquisite in every aspect.

Excellent

2022'de #IzlediğimFilmler ; 99. Severance (2022) Orijinal hikayelerin hastasıyız. Sürreal bir hikaye , harika performanslar. 2.sezonu iple çekiyorum.

The most inspired and original art direction seen in a series in quite some time. The socioeconomic commentary is interesting enough to think about without feeling too heavy handed. It struggles with pacing issues midway through the season, and there are some conveniently written plot points throughout, but if you're willing to overlook it's minor flaws it rewards you greatly. A terrific ending and stellar performances all around make this one of the strongest first seasons in a long time.

Chilling

I don't like all emotional beats but boy, as pure entertainment it is something else!

It’s like a amalgam of westworld and black mirror(specifically white Christmas) perhaps a little bit of eternal sunshine?

season 1

This one is right up there with Twin Peaks and Better Call Saul. What a master stroke of storytelling. I am in awe.

Ah Severance, why are you like this? Your performances are impeccable and your direction is superb. Even the worst moments are funny and creepy in an excellent way. However, I have to take the writing to task because this could be great but chooses to be very good. Maybe I'm burned by LOST but it was a constant comparison for me: weirdness for the sake of weirdness, "mysteries" that go nowhere, and iTs AlL aBoUt ChArAcTeRs but their development is disjointed by time, or in this case, severance.

So. Freaking. Boring.

[Season 1] A brilliant Big Idea turned into a thrilling, thought-provoking TV show. Refreshingly inclined to take it's to time to build the characters and slowly build up the tension. While the slow approach made some episodes lag a little, you are awarded in spades with a final few episode, the finale chief among them, that rank among the most intense, enjoyable rides in a long while. Felt Nordic with the snow, subdued emotion and plain strangeness. Deserves all the praise it has gotten.

S1: 90

Simple concept executed very well. Some characters are a bit eccentric but that's the world we live in. Despite being dystopian, there is a sense of optimistic empowerment from the innies. That when pushed far enough, people will fight back against the system that binds them.
