Tonight's season finale will wrap up the season 2 storyline and provide some insight into just what the Macrodata Refinement department does and what "Cold Harbor" really is. A brief teaser for episode that Apple shared on social media highlighted one of the goats, so we might also learn what Lumon's Mammalians Nurturable team does with them.

Severance has become one of Apple's most talked about shows, and it has spawned countless fan theories, with viewers speculating about what's going on after every episode.

In an interview yesterday, Ben Stiller said that work is underway on Severance season 3, and this time around, we won't have to wait three years for more episodes.

I was going to skip season 2 after seeing negative reviews online. Then some people I respect said it’s fantastic, so I decided to go back and rewatch season 1 since I forgot so much about it. It was as okay as I remembered it.

However, season 2 has been a whole other level of good. The show has switched from a goofy corporate satire to more character-based storytelling and it is a much, much better show for it. It’s the best thing I’ve seen on TV or in movies for years.

Pretty jazzed to see where it goes in the finale
 
My prediction for tonight: Nothing of substance will be explained, and 6 new mysteries will be introduced.

I like this show, but I genuinely feel that they have no plan or idea for any of it, and they know that mystery and intrigue sell better than exposition, so they just keep making it weirder and weirder with no actual goal or endgame.
 
Season 2 is nonsensical. Every episode ends in mystery. Nothing gets explained. That one episode where you had to watch Patricia Arquette for the entire episode slur her lines was beyond cringe. They made a mistake by going the “Lost” way.
A ton of things have been explained. You want every thing handed to you in every episode? This narrative is about the journey, not the destination — all the answers will be simple and once you know them, there’s no much mystery.

Nonsense? Sounds like a comprehension issue. That or put your phone down while watching.
 
You guys think season 2 of Severance is as good or better than season 2 of Silo? I couldn’t finish the latter, and I’ve been dragging my feet to start watching the former! (I loved the first season of both shows)

Ahhh, gave up on this season after episode four. Haven't watched since.

I have a rule about shows with "mysteries" that dabble in all things weird and/or surreal, and it's a rule that goes back a looooong time. (Anyone remember Twin Peaks?) I love the bizarre concepts and freaky stuff. When done well, that kind of thing is incredibly engaging. I love the imagery that often accompanies that kind of material.

BUT. If you want to be weird, you'd better know where you're going, and there'd better be actual REASONS for the weird, surreal stuff. Otherwise, you're being weird solely for the sake of being weird, making crap up as you go along. I'm not impressed by that. Anyone can do that. As a writer, you're basically ******* off with your pen. Don't waste our time.

The first season of Severance was good enough that I was willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. This season they are spinning their wheels. They are either stalling to prolong the show or because they don't have a plan. You can't keep people engaged by a moody tone and creepy vibe if nothing much is happening.

Not interested. I'd rather re-watch "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind." At least they knew what they were doing.
 
I'll binge this weekend. Need to run a ten mile race Saturday morning, so first martini in hand at noon to start the season. At least my expectations are low, so I'm guessing I'll love it.
