Trojan's Horse

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.

Wow, just wow. This episode was incredible. Following the aftermath of the events at Woe's Hollow, the ODR team finds themselves one member short and regaining an old member. This was an emotional episode, even though Mark was frustrating at times. Helly was once again amazing. She is definitely my favorite character, and I think there is more to her outie than people are giving her credit for. Britt gives an incredible performance, and if she doesn't get an award for this show, I'm gonna be mad. This was another great Dylan G. Episode, as we got to see a more sensitive side to his strong-headed character. Mr. Milchick is also just a great character, and every time I think I have him figured out, something comes along that makes me question it. This is also the first episode this season that shows both the Oties and the Inies' perspectives. It was nice having that balance again. It's also nice to learn more about the reintegration process and how it works. And that ending was a gut punch. My only complaint was that it wasn't long enough, and I had to wait another week for the next episode. Ultimately, this is my favorite show right now and a must-watch for everyone.

This season is on an absolute roll. It just keeps going episode after episode, and its building up to being one of the best tv shows ever.

John Turturro (the goat) obviously gave us a masterclass in acting last episode. And Britt Lower is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses, I mean the facial expressions in these last 2 episodes are something Else. An emmy award is surely coming her way.

The Production of this season have also somehow been elevated to new heights.

Kudos to everyone working on this show.

-5 episodes in and 5 episodes to go- Cant Wait to see where this intense season will take us!

Absolute Cinema!

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.

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.
