You Can Now Read 'The You You Are' Book From Apple TV+ Show Severance

I think that is deliberate.

I tried the book, it is worse than the character !

We're watching season 2, but having a hard time getting back into it. I don't mind a slow show, but the plot isn't doing much for me this time around.

Yup, that’s the streaming model - designed to be binge-watched. Which is why every episode ends with a cliffhanger - to rope you into watching the next episode right away. But if you take a break they’re almost impossible to get back into because everything’s all about “atmosphere” and it’s difficult to immediately recover that. The medium is the message after all.

I want a hard copy! 😅

Never really paid attention to the book the first time through season 1, but in rewatching to prepare for S2, the book is actually a hilarious treat in an otherwise serious show!

The You You Are reminds me of the show Patriot, which also features a fake book, The Structural Dynamics of Flow. Michael Chernus is in both Severance and Patriot, and Ben Stiller has raved about Patriot.
