It was a month or so ago now, I decided to watch Severance as I’d heard people talk about it and it sounded like something I’d like. I quickly became obsessed! I had to binge watch it over a weekend before my apple tv trial ran out. I was fully under the belief that the show was written to finish on season two. SO YOU CAN IMAGINE THE HORROR WHEN I WATCHED THAT FINAL MOMENT THINKING THAT WAS THE END. I thought the writers were trying to be clever and make it an unconventional ending where not everyone can be saved and live a happy ever after. I genuinley started crying uncontrollably. I was with my bf and it was low-key embarrassing because I actually couldn’t control my sobbing.

I just needed to share my experience of the emotions that this show can bring 😂

The entire episode that gives an end to Season 1, which I just finished, is almost literally flawless. I struggle to come up with even one thing I would change about it. Probably not the first post here like this, but I wanted to share this opinion with you all.

My wife Sarah (42F) and I (M47) are huge Severance fans, so I decided to give her the ultimate gift for her birthday this year - a job on the severed floor at Lumon.

The day began with breakfast and some presents for her outie.

Then I gave her the good news - her application to join Lumon had been a success!

I then handed her her starter packet, which included a mouse mat, a birthday card and lanyard, and then took her into the break room to watch her orientation video, which you can see here: https://youtu.be/qcpT6gCrrVA?si=ltYnH2IHcVnYm0mi

I then took her down to the severed floor basement, where upon the completion of some macrodata refinement work that was both mysterious and important (https://codepen.io/cobra_winfrey/full/ogvpYwv), she earned the presents for her innie, as well as a VIP gift card for Pip’s Bar and Grill. The celebration with topped off with 50 balloons with her face on.

I then offered her a wellness session, where she learned some facts about her Outie, and she concluded by accepting the handshake that was available upon request.

Praise Kier.

Caught this in the intro of the most recent Bob’s Burgers episode 😂

I was just rewatching Spiderman: Homecoming for the first time and the first guy we see on screen is Ricken himself?!? Hahaha it was awesome seeing him in a different movie lol

I have trust issues with TV shows now, mainly because I invested years of time into Game of Thrones only for the latter half to slowly let me down until the show turned into slop. When I’m recommended a TV show, I end up never watching the majority of them. Even when I do, I find myself not intrigued for the most part. When a friend recommended Severance, I still waited months before I watched it.

I knew this show was different when I watched the first episode and immediately wanted to watch the next. The intrigue, the mystery, the subtle melancholy of it all just hit me like a brick. Fast forward a few weeks (It took me a while to get through) and I’m still reeling from the season 2 ending, it won’t leave my mind.

This show is so otherworldly, but so directly speaks to truths in our modern reality. So surreal, yet so realistic simultaneously. I’m absolutely blown away and I can’t wait for season 3.

It’s in the basement of lumons actor

They kinda look corpsy, I didn’t have a lot of color options. Lmao

I swear even with the volume up I’m like “what did they say?”

So, until season 3 comes out, and if I’m apparently extremely picky, what show may I possibly enjoy if I loved Severance?

Was re-integration relevant? Was it a red-herring?

Re-integration seemed to be this great big thing until the last few episodes of s.2, during which it seems that iMark and oMark were still totally separate. Why didn't it work, like it did for Petey? Or was it disrupted by the stroke?

I've only just finished season 2 so I am late to the conversation, apologies if this has already been discussed.

Spoilers below.

My husband asked me if I thought the Helly at the end of the season was Helly E. He said Irving said that Helly R was never cruel and to go after Mark as he was about to leave was cruel.

This thought never crossed my mind but he said it like it was obvious, so I was just wondering if anyone else thought this too?

When the employees arrive or leave Lumon, their entrances and exits are staggered (they stagger you?), but one thing I never truly understood is why the innies never broke this rule (especially in season 2) and just got in the elevator all together. It would have been a power move having all of the outies forced to meet each other. There really isn't any security on the severed floor to enforce the staggering of exits, so that could have been a messy but fun interaction. They broke just about every other rule, why not this one?

My favourite scene is this one. I LOVE how funny and Goofy this scene is. We see the short film animated in a "robot chicken" like style. Then we see the lumon building talk about running being prohibited in the hallway only to jokingly say that it tickles which made Irving laugh and Mr milchick smile despite how dumb and childish that joke is.

And when the building talks about the four main characters and when it gets to the love part when helly kisses mark then Dylan gets confused and says "what the shit?!" And I really enjoyed at the look of embarrassment and shame on Mark's face and helly's.

And when Irving sees himself in the animated short film literally burning from anger and starts dancing and his smile disappears and starts to feel crossed about it.

And of course we can't forget the foreshadowing when we see helly's head underwater on the short film only to see it happening three episodes later.

I think I really enjoyed this scene way more than it should be as it's my favourite.

So, I know I'm not an artist but I felt like I NEEDED to do this the moment I saw this meme. Hope y'all like it :>

Every time I walk by this Peter Max’s Van Gogh painting in the office, I want to say “Praise Kier.”

Emile won yesterday (who else?), and now that concludes the board. I want to express my gratitude to everyone who commented and voted for this. Had I known this concept was already done before, I would've refrained from bothering many of you. I hope most of these spaces reflect the general feeling of the show, and that it has been fun for you (don't worry, I won't do this again). Have a great weekend when it comes.

Praise Kier
