I’ll never understand the popularity of Ted Lasso. That doesn’t even remotely appeal to me. My favorite shows in the last year were dark matter, constellation, and sugar.
Really? I could barely get through season 1, and the first episode of season 2 was even more cringeworthy. I guess I should watch more episodes before judging it, but I'm not sure I care enough...
Full respect on how tastes differ for shows. I like the over the top nature of Bill Lawrence work. Shrinking has an adult Scrubs feeling to it (also Lawrence) and many characters feel like a parody which I like. Harrison Ford steals every scene he is in.
The Alice story line was creepy and I was not a fan of the Louis part. But I get the conflict they were addressing.
But I get that not everyone will like some of Lawrence’s sarcasm.
Agreed, I was skeptical they could maintain the momentum for multiple seasons but I respect the decisions about not dragging out large plot points, it’s rewarding as a viewer and doesn’t treat the audience like idiots which too many shows do.
Maybe not for people who half-watch tv though, the world building is insanely well crafted and I think being invested in that is crucial to enjoying the story.
To me it’s kind of like Eternal Sunshine concepts meets Breaking Bad pacing and storycraft with the cinematography of a Denis Villeneuve film.
The money is well spent and I’m glad Apple has the resources to continue to fund it through to an eventual conclusion. Britt Lower should at be nominated for some awards for S2 imo.
As with any series, there's no right answer. Some hate it, some are indifferent, and some love it. I thoroughly enjoyed S1. While I'm liking S2 so far, it's gotten even weirder. I'm just hoping the writers and showrunners are working toward an endpoint, even if it doesn't quite explain everything.
Yep, it was a long pause but I'm still interested. I'm just waiting for the S2 to end so I can binge. It is kind of weird but a great show, I hope the S2 is as good as S1.
I think I will go back and rewatch the last two or three episodes of S1–they’ve reset the mystery box for S2, which is fine and expected, but it’s been so long I don’t remember much about what was revealed in S1 and I think I’m missing things the writers expect the audience to understand…

Not only that, it's surprisingly complex to shoot. The opening scene of season 2, where he's running around the halls, took like a week to shoot, and required a lot of VFX.
Plus... the baby goat budget has got to be through the roof. Handlers, feed, pooper scoopers...
They’re gonna milk it until people stop watching.
I didn’t even know there was such a gap between seasons, honestly. I just marathoned the first season for the first time last week, and just caught up with the latest episode on season 2 this morning. It’s really good.
Severance was further delayed with strikes, I don’t think they intended to have such a gap.
We're not talking "The Sopranos" here, but it's a cool show and a breath of fresh air.
I'm thoroughly enjoying it.

I went back to S1 and rewatched all the "previously on..." snippets before I started S2. It helped a bunch as there was a ton I forgot about. Just seeing some of the scenes reminded me of the storylines enough for me to make the connections.
Bad Sisters had a one season story arc. It wrapped the story up well, without a cliffhanger. That's why season 2 seems like such a force.
Yeah, I know. It's just that I hate waiting that long. I guess I'm just used to regular network/cable TV with 20-odd episodes a season, with a new season every year. To be fair, those TV shows don't have quite the same production value/quality as shows like Severance
I went from not wanted to watch the show, to it being one of my most favorites on TV.
One of the factors some of the show was filmed at Bellworks. A venue I’ve been to multiple times and recognized many of the stair wells.

Love the show, but how the hell is it 20M an episode to film? I mean it's a weird "office" job show where half of more of the series is set in a big office with very little to it. I guess I just don't understand why it's so expensive to make but that's just me.
Loving S2 so far, but I kinda hope it ends with S3 or at max S4 because it really feels like a story that could lose its way the longer it runs. And yes, 3 years between seasons is extreme. I rewatched S1 right before starting S2 and realized I barely remembered any of the smaller details and plot points.
I'm still watching but can feel my interest waning a bit. It makes me appreciate what Lost did more. They managed to keep you hooked for much longer over many more episodes. Of course in the end it turned out they could not tie it all together but it was a ride
Hopefully it will come soon. But not expecting the next season in 12 months time. At the earliest it might be a November 2026 or even a January 2027 release and that is still a long time.
Not happy with the long wait between seasons of shows of streaming services. Some shows take eternally long to get the next season.
