You should keep watching. It gets much much better and closes in a SHOCKER!
I did finish it,last episode was very good but overall VERY slow show.painfully boring at times,I like the subject,story,characters and actors in this show but the pacing was REALLY slow. unbearably slow.
I agree that the pacing is very slow, but to me, it builds suspense and mystery. But everyone has their preferences.
On the other end of the spectrum, a show like Invasion had similarly slow pacing, but it didn’t build any suspense or mystery.
The main thing about Severance that keeps me interested is thinking about what the character’s motivation is for undergoing the procedure. Dylan in particular is who I’m most interested in.
Best Apple TV Plus show? IT's definitely on the short list. Great story, great cast. Had me hooked.
I'm surprised this show has only 3 pages of discussion. Anyone who's a fan of Brazil (1995) and Being John Malkovich will love this. The production and cinematography should be set to get Emmy. The cast is perfect. Milchik has a very good chance at awards. He's so creepy.
This is one of the best show of the year. Top 3 no doubt. The story is full of tidbits that I hope we will have an answer for, like Baby Goat (sacrification?) or that scary photo showing MDR goes on killing spree.
Strangely it took me a re-watch to notice that the heroine innie name is "HELLy". I didn't register it at the first watching at all. 😳

I remember Servant had like 6-7 pages on the first season alone and this one is so much better, so much more mysteries to dig through.
Perhaps it's because TV+ has a much bigger catalog of content now than it did when Servant first came out. So viewers are watching shows instead of posting about shows in MR. The thread I started for Acapulco doesn't even make it past page 1 and that show is fantastic.
Yeah, this seems to be a good reason for that. I'll also add things like...
--Severance is still relatively brand new
So perhaps folks haven't had a chance to get to it. While still watching other stuff. On ATV+, or other SS (or perhaps both)
--Maybe the show winning an Emmy category will up viewership, and get more participation on this thread
--Some people want to binge entire seasons
So they won't even touch the likes of this and other shows until the entire series is fleshed out.
Me, my fave ATV+ show is Foundation, and that hasn't gotten a lot of love either.
I don't knock on anyone's opinion but everyone has a right to their own taste. But for me, Severance is one of the best shows I've seen in a while. Ep 9 (season finale) has got to be in my top 5 all time single episode of any episodic series/TV shows in my book. This show will definitely win awards. It's going to be a long wait for season 2 which I dont expect to see until 2024 at the earliest.
Early 2024 maybe?

Just finished the last episode, one of the best episodes of TV i've seen for a long time. What a fantastic series!
Just finished the last episode too - late on the train, heard about it when it was “live” many months ago, but only now got around to watching it. Fantastic! Such an interesting premise / world that they’ve built, and so many interesting themes can be explored around it.
Feels a little bit like after watching first season of Westworld. Totally different of course, but unique and intriguing world-building, with some really interesting ideas.
Happy to hear a Season 2 was announced!

I just finished watching season 1. I’m blown away. This is the most impressed by a TV show that I’ve been since Euphoria season 1 which was nearly 4 years ago. The writing, the acting, the characters, the set, it’s just unbelievably good. Super excited for season 2, though it sounds like we will be waiting a long time for it.
