Agree. Very similar to the first seasons of For All Mankind and The Expanse. E4 is when things really get going.
Got a tip for us?

It's an odd show but it gets you glued to see what will happen. I wished it was only one season so we can figure out the outcome. I guess that's the point. lol
I think it's just the lack of a beard. He looks way rougher without it.... and I'm sure that was their intent. His character is not having a good time of it.
He is a strange looking dude hahah
But yeah probably is just for the role
One or two people said it’s called aging
I dunno it’s vague
Scott also purses his lips when crosses over to innie mode, which makes look older and more tense.
I’m happy for this. Question, did anyone notice a wall plaque of what looked like Lenin on the first episode when he was walking through the plaza?
That's Kier Eagan. It's central to the whole story.
I admit that I was in a hurry but get back to me when you have to juggle three languages in your head at all times!(Spanish, German, English)
Keir is pronounced KEE-er. It is of Gaelic origin, and the meaning of Keir is "dusky; dark-haired; dark-skinned, swarthy".

This show made me buy maracas, Friday nights will never be the same
I am only 1/2 way through the available episodes, but this show is spectacular. Worth subscribing to AppleTV+ just for this show....well worth 50 bucks.
That's interesting that you brought Ted Lasso while talking about Severance. Ted Lasso is designed to make you feel good. Severance is designed to make you feel bad. Yes, it has a stellar cast, beautiful photography, intriguing storyline, great direction, but with the limited time I have to invest in watching TV, I'd rather feel good after doing it.
We stopped watching with 2 episodes left in Season 2. I really don't think I will pick it back up. The situations just kept getting more ridiculous, again without the reveal/payoff it was building up to (from my perspective anyway).
Severance on the other hand seems to want to reveal the secrets a little at a time and is not just a never ending tease for something to be explained.
My wife stopped watching, so I'm on my own. The Bachelor is more her speed
Honestly one of my favorite new shows
Apple today announced that it has renewed the critically acclaimed workplace thriller "Severance" for a second season. The announcement comes just a few days ahead of the season one finale, which will be released this Friday, April 8 on Apple TV+.
The sci-fi series, created by Dan Erickson and executive produced by Ben Stiller, revolves around a mysterious company named Lumon Industries, whose employees cannot recall any memories about their personal lives while they are at work. Likewise, once the employees leave the office, they cannot remember anything about the workplace.
Apple TV+ does not release viewing figures, but "Severance" appears to have become one of Apple's more popular series since it premiered in February. The series stars Adam Scott, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Walken, and others.
"Thanks to creator Dan Erickson, the brilliant Ben Stiller, and an incomparable cast and crew, 'Severance' has imagined an existence that's equal parts riveting and enthralling as viewers around the globe can't get enough of these rich characters," said Matt Cherniss, head of programming for Apple TV+. "We're excited to go deeper into this wholly unique world and unpack more layers of Lumon in season two."
"It's really exciting to see the response from people who are loving the show — and the level of fan engagement," said Stiller. "It has been a long road bringing 'Severance' to television. I first read Dan's pilot over five years ago. It has always been a multi-season story, and I'm really happy we get to continue it. I'm grateful to our partners at Apple TV+ who have been behind it the whole way. Praise Keir!"

I cancelled netflix for Hulu, disney+, paramount+ (for 3 months with the first anniversary promo pricing), and apple tv+ for $1 more, and I am not looking back.
Exactly, the only time I actually have enough time to watch anything is on Friday nights. Severance, WeCrashed (digging this one a lot as I didn’t know anything about WeWork story), Slow Horses, etc new episodes are out and ready to go.
Honestly, the best $5 spent for me. Gotten used to the fact that I don’t need 3000 shows and movies that I’ll never be able watch, just those 3 or 4 high quality ones to deal with at the end of the week one episode at a time.
Really enjoying my 
TV+, especially since I seldomly watch TV, and not having lots of content doesn't bother me at all.
I really liked The Morning Show, I enjoyed Ted Lasso (not loved, but enjoyed), I ADORED Tiny World, I'll love The Earth at night (in colour), Severance and whatever else will come.
I'm also curious about Foundation and For All Mankind.
At my pace, the catalogue is enough.
The only thing I envy Netflix for is Better Call Saul, for which I'll 100% pay a month of Netflx.
But than that's it.
With Prime Video, I mostly pay it for the shipping experience, but surprisingly there are lots of italian films there. (I'm italian)

Part of that has to be credited to the cinematography. Gorgeous.
