A lot of people these days have no patience. They need to be spoon fed everything and have it all spelt out very quickly.
If you’re equipped with a 30 second TikTok attention span, shows like Severance would be a nightmare to watch.
In saying that, I found the majority of season 2 to be less enjoyable compare to season 1. However in hindsight, it was required, I’m glad they did it, and it did answer a few mysteries.
I thought the S2 ending was fantastic. It was ironic that Cold Harbour’s purpose had a better test subject. Being vague to avoid spoiling things.

I prefer to binge and not have the anxiety of waiting for the next episode. Are we in 1980’s here. “On the next episode of..” I don’t need that stress I do pay monthly for Apple TV but I have heard many wait for the full season to drop and resuscitate watch it then cancel.
That's NOT what "overrated" means. 😂
"overrated - rated or valued too highly"
The word does not imply a particularly higher or lower rating than the observer's rating. It merely indicates that the overall community ratings are too high. Which is the case here. I see it with many pseudo-intellectual shows and movies (such as Interstellar) - if the show makes people feel "smart" - either because it implies complex scientific or philosophical meaning, or because it alludes to "intriguing mysteries" - then some viewers feel like it must be good because it's so "smart"
Valued too highly for whom? For you? Are you the objective judge, and everyone who likes it more than you is deceived?That's NOT what "overrated" means. 😂

It still comes down you you thinking too many people like the show for reasons that are beneath you. Which means a lot of people like it more than you do.
If someone calls something "overrated" I take it as a sign that people like it. And if people like it, then I am likely to enjoy it. It's not guaranteed. Perhaps I won't enjoy it and will join you in feeling disdain for silly people. But I don't know you and I don't know how similar your tastes are to mine. So I'll go with the odds.
And I enjoyed Severence tremendously. I reject your superiority.
Sounds awful I don’t get how this show is so popular 😂 I took about a week to watch episode 1 of season 1. I don’t think I will ever finish season 1.
I got some love/hate-thing going on with this series... It is a very nice production, but all weirdness is a bit too much - it becomes the emperors new clothes of it all and it just becomes nice fluff for the sake of being smoke and mirrors... I guess that is how you build a following today - be obscure and the viewers can't stop watching.
It is just a bit to close to THX1138 for me - "great art" I guess that makes me questioning what I am doing with my time; watching this stuff...? (it is actually much more rewarding making my own weird stuff - for me; abstract music)

It put me to sleep. Painfully bad. Worst second season of a show likely ever. Utterly stupid and pointless.
"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."
was this English? lol
I couldn't give less of an ish about this show. Never even seen one second of it. Sounds ridiculous and a phenomenal waste of time.

I remember there was some celebrity interviewed a while back and he said, paraphrasing, he never watches TV shows because there's aways a point where the show will start manipulating the audience and becoming predictable because the sole point of the show becomes justifying it's existence. Can't remember who it was. Anyways, I liked the first season a lot after the first few episodes and haven't given season 2 a go yet. I'll get around to it eventually.
Couldn't finish Silo season 2 either. Holy crap did that turn to ****. Absolutely nothing was happening with the main character.
I preferred season 2 of Severance to season 2 of Silo.
I just didn't feel very invested in the plot or characters of Silo season 2. It was like I was watching actors saying their lines to advance the plot. And that was after enjoying the first season enough that I read all the books. Maybe I was waiting to see some scenes from the book to happen and they didn't happen.
Anyway, someone could just as easily say the same thing about Severance season 2.
Nope. I would rather read a book than watch that horrible show. So that is what I did. I just do not get "Severance" at all.
Struck me as very fair and no hyperbole at all.
Not everybody had to get it. My wife tried watching it and she didn’t get it either. Then we watched it together. While not everyone may like it, no doubt the popularity exploded.
