Woe's Hollow

I never write episode reviews but man.. I came here seconds after finishing this.

It combines the best parts from series like Fargo and Mr. RObot( also amazing television)

Where should I even start? The INCREDIBLE direction and the breathtaking visuals? The never ending climaxing plot leading to one of the greatest episode finales that I have ever seen.?

This episode wasn't just television-it was an experience. It left me speechless, breathless, and somehow craving more(even tho I dont mind waiting a week for the next one)

I felt like I had already witnessed perfection. Now Im wondering..if 4th episode is such a crazy ride, can the showwritters surpass that?

This episode let me feel so many different emotions in the span of an hour. Curiosity, love, fear, anxiousness all wrapped into a 1 hour span that made me realize just how well written and acted this show is. I must applaud Britt Lower and John Turturro for giving us various scenes in this episode that make you have this indescribable feeling. Ms. Lower & Mr. Turturro have this on screen chemistry that makes this viewing experience so tangible. The ending sequence of this episode felt like the perfect way to close this enigma surrounding Britt Lower's characters. This episode opens a door that will make me ponder what the consequences of her actions will be until next Thursday.

Masterfully acted throughout. John Turturro is ELECTRIC in this episode and if he does not win an Emmy for this I will be gobsmacked. This episode showed that the Severance creators are not in the slightest bit afraid to take a risk and turn their tried and tested formula on its head to create an hour of truly peak TV. Woe's Hollow is a genuinely unsettling and unnerving episode, peppered with rising tension building into an explosive finale that well and truly sets the stage for a barnstormer second half of season 2. It finally gives a definitive answer to a question that has been looming large over this season, but as is usual with Severance, raises another thousand in its place.

Ben Stiller and his writers are being awesomely experimental with this second season. I respect them for not making it safe and formulated to follow the highly successful first season. But it is also risky. If this doesn't all come together they will lose the audience. But I have faith in them. So far.

Goats, Team building occurrences is frozen forests and founding fathers that seem to have dealings with the occult are all tantalising storylines but I just hope it can be neatly stitched together into something feasible by season's end. This episode was a nice break from the sterile hallways of their office too. Dylan shone in this episode because he looked just as confused as the viewers. But again, I trust these guys, we will get the answers soon enough.

Why on earth is this episode rated 9.1? Honestly, it's a bit crazy to me. While I've been a fan of the show so far, this episode definitely felt like a jump away from the logic that had, at least, been somewhat acceptable. It veers dangerously into the realm of fantasy, and that shift really threw me off. The weakness in the plot and the departure from the tone that was originally set makes me question how it earned such a high rating. 9.1 is reserved for something really special, and for me, this episode just didn't deliver on that level. I think there are different expectation and of view anyhow for a person who has a littlebi of knowledge of series or movies the rate is not correct. This made me think am I so weird or what am I missing? Well, in this episode not much to miss.
