Trojan's Horse

The way this show has managed to build an audience who cares so deeply for its characters after just 13 episodes is amazing. Season 2 has been consistently upping the levels of the previous season by rewarding us with slow tension filled masterpieces that explode in the final few minutes, an episode may start to feel like not a lot is going to happen happen but it ends up proving us wrong. The first season was a slow build that exploded in the finale but with this new season each episode feels like a finale. The cinematography and acting are absolutely stellar and also the sound design, the almost glitchy uneasiness instantly immerses you into the scenes and it doesn't let you look away (especially in the final few minutes)

Amazing episode.

First of all, I want to mention the cinematography. It is absolutely astounding and even if the content of the show was utter garbage, I would marvel at the visuals.

Thankfully, the content of the show is brilliant.

The dialogue, mannerisms and motivations of each character is so unique and nuanced, ensuring that each character is so fully fleshed out that they could each have their own spin-off show.

In this episode, the interactions between different characters, especially with the concept of inside and outside, makes every conversation enthralling.

Another reason why this episode is so beautifully written is that it reveals answers to previous questions through shocking revelations, but simultaneously creates new questions that are arguably more thrilling, meaning that the show doesn't overplay its hand or lose momentum after a revelation.

In this way, as as mentioned before, you are constantly analysing each conversation for clues that could provide answers to future questions that might arise.

I made the brave call of calling Season 1 of Severance one of the best first seasons in my TV history, but Season 2 is turning out to be even stronger.

I enjoyed the first season and was looking forward to the second. However, it's just really boring. Every episode so far is plain dull. If the next episode is this boring, I'll give up and watch something more interesting. If this is some kind of artistic attempt to be profound, it's not working; except that it's profoundly boring.

The cinematography and technical aspects are good. The acting is good in and of itself, but there's not really anything going on for the acting quality to matter.

I'm rather disappointed given the first season left us with so much promise. I'm afraid to say that Severance season 2 is overrated when compared with the hype and the build up.

I just can not believe how season 2 could be more ridiculous. It gets more apparent that the whole project is all just a 90min script. Since a 10 episode serial would be more profitable than a 90 min movie, you have to watch it slowly and slowly for weeks until the end. Bravo! Each episode raises the same question disguised in slightly different questions. The script and dialogues are so boring that they cover it up all with a good cinematography. I have to give it to the cinematographer. He or she has all the job on him or her. This serial is the new "Lost". I have no doubt that There will be no solid final to it.

This series has stagnated for 5 episodes - other than outie Mark's main event. The story is not progressing, the comedy is getting old (Dylan's persona) and the weirdness for weirdness sake isn't working.

The interesting characters are nowhere to be seen. Milkshake is cool, so is Helena's promotion lady.

I was hoping that this season would get more eventful but it's just a mix of romance drama and emptiness

They should have solved some puzzles before creating new ones. This will likely end in a "Lost" BS with tons of missing explanations

The Lumen people feel over-the-top evil and not believable.
