Severance
- Thread starter something daft already!!
- Start date
Yeah, fair enough. But it's not the first time they've pulled a large group of people out of nowhere doing oddly specialised roles (the goatherders, the workshop on Burt's department). The Severance floor has so many long corridors full of doors, who knows what's behind them all, although some of the rooms that have been opened seem mothballed / idle.

Not as good as S1.
Definitely can get onboard with the dancing scene feeling a bit forced. I did enjoy it but the entire time I was watching it, I was thinking they were basically replicating a popular scene from the previous season. And the first version of it was the best because it was a real injection of personality, into an intentionally sterile environment. They had to go (probably too) big with the band because the severance floor has lost a lot of its sterility, as the characters have been allowed to develop and explore.
As is the case with most movies and TV shows, you do have to let your logical thinking relax a little bit. The lack of security personnel or even the technology does seem a bit inconsistent with the keeping of the environment but you could maybe argue that it hasn't been needed before, as the innies haven't been curious or as exposed to the outside world, as per the finale of the first season.
Brilliant show though. I was skeptical after the first season ended that they could make it as good. And although there were a couple of slow episodes this season, I think they did a good job with it. I think realistically there's probably one more season left in it but I wouldn't like it to drag out and the quality be diluted along with it.

S2 was. OK but not as good as s1.
As others have said. You really do have to accept loop holes. Not just this show. But there are loads of tv shows that you just have to accept the series doesn't plug all the holes. Some of them gaping.
This show included. Like enhanced security.

He is great, I for one love his engorged vernacular
Back from holiday and watched the finale last night. As said somewhere above, Cold Harbor seemed a bit of an anticlimax after some of the crazy theories... no, it's just another test like before, but stronger.
As also said, yes, you definitely have to just accept some things (like lack of security, letting them wander round and have access to all kinds of stuff they shouldn't) but it's entertaining enough.

Thing is, if you are more familiar with cults and some of crazy things that have REALLY happened with them, this isn't actually that weird in the context of the show's setting.

Last episode was great TV - as good as the season 1 finale IMO. Yeah, the Milchick "dance" was pure fan service and a little forced but I lapped it up.
Kudos to the team for not leaving us on a massive cliff hanger. (If the series ended here I could live with it).
The final freeze frame reminds me of the famous "The Graduate" ending

This discusses the ending freeze frame and its relationship to that style/age of film: youtu.be/Tsw_4TVzSVQ
Wut?! Disagree - this was a total cliffhanger and could no way be ended there. So many questions left unanswered. I think there is deffo enough for 1 more season.

Yeah, agree that that we need at least one more season (didn't mean to imply that I wanted it to end...only that I could live with it !)
Its deffo not the same level of cliffhanger as season 1... who knows what direction the next season will take !

So I've binge watched the first two seasons. It's weird and very slow, I had to skim through a lot of episodes because nothing was really happening.
The series constantly teases you with interesting plot points where something interesting might happen, but it never really does.

You didn’t watch it properly then.
Tbf, he did say he didn't watch it properly. I did wonder how he knew he wasn't missing something important?
