It’s on a weekly release schedule, so only the first episode released today. Has anyone been watching this series? Did you watch the new episode? What do you think of all of it so far?

I think the series is fantastic in so many ways - concept, writing, acting, directing, cinematography, production design, music. I usually avoid watching series these days, but this show really has me hooked. I was hoping to discuss it a bit here since I haven’t found much about it on Lemmy yet. I figured that this would be a favorite with a lot of people here.

If you mention details about the story, please don’t forget to add spoiler masks and alerts.

    This is amazing–thank you for this news!! I have been waiting so long that i forgot to check if it finally came back. Season 1 was one of the best shows I’ve seen in years and i really hope they continue on the path they were forging

    I’m a little hyped about it. I really enjoyed the first season. I’m afraid second season is going to be a slower one with too much filler, but I’ll probably enjoy it as well.

    Severance is an absolutely incredible premise, and each of the actors are perfect for their roles. I doubt the casting staff could have done any better with the choices they made. The Easter egg (if you want to call it that) in the first episode of season two is breathtaking, as soon as you realize that it is what you think it is.

    Severance and Silo could probably rival Lost as far as storylines that could carry the shows for a long time.

    Note that spoiler tags don’t always work. It depends on your client.

    If you haven’t seen S2E1 and don’t want spoilers, turn back now.

      Agreed! These days I try to only watch super highly rated shows after they have ended, like The Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad, but I’m glad I fell for this one at this time.

    Really enjoyed the first season, I might watch it again before starting on the new ones.

    Literally rewatching season 1 with a family member as I type this. It may just be the best show I’ve ever seen. I’m excited to discuss once I watch the new episode!
