Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig

Season 2 is off to a bang, as this episode is just as good if not better than the first. Here, we get to see the aftermath of the overtime rebellion as Lumon has to do damage control. This was what we had been waiting for since the end of Season 1, and I honestly loved it. Especially seeing Helly's outside reaction to everything that happens. Helly is also the only one who knows the entire picture. Britt Lower gives such an amazing performance, and she is as cold as Outie Helena. Helly is definitely my favorite character, and I'm interested to see where Helena goes from here. Adam Scott also kills it. I really liked seeing Mark with his sister again. Overall, the entire cast shines as they play multiple roles, and everyone is perfect in their role. Even the characters who aren't severed, such as Mr. Milchick, have a duality to them. It was nice to see Dylan and Irving's outies for the first time. It's so strange to see how different Dylan's Outie is from his Inie. I also loved that Irving may know more than he is letting on. The question is, why is Mark S. So important? Why try to remove the others but not him? I don't know, but I'm confident the writers do. All in all, this is my favorite show right now and already one of my all-time favorites. Here is to seeing more of the Inies and Outies overlap in the future.

The shots taken this episode is just mindblowing. Gave me some better call saul vibes. The story, where do I begin. It's simply extraordinary. I'm just here to give the cinematography of this episode a 1000/10 because wow, it's literally a Monalisa for TV shows. The way the shots taken, the angles, the face reactions, Mr Milchick on his motorcycle, his helmet, oh my god his helmet is a piece of art ( I'm not even a motorcycle dude but hey ). This show is a brilliant TV art that shows you don't need to rush every year for a season. Take your time with it and deliver for your viewers. Ben Stiller KUDOS.

I loved season 1 of severance, and the cliff hanger left me yearning for more. However leading up to the release of season 2, I was mildly cautious that it would not live up to the hype. I assume at worst season 2 would be a fun weekly show to follow along with. I think we've all been misunderstanding what's happening here.

I truly believe we have something special on our hands here. Something that years down the road someone will say "I'm so jealous you got to watch Severance as it released." The way I personally think about the likes of Breaking Bad or The Sopranos.

I truly believe this is Mount Rushmore quality television that we are lucky enough to get to follow along with as it happens.

Adam Scott and Britt Lower are delivering performances on par with the likes of Jeremy Strong and Sarah Snook (this is the highest praise I can give any form of media). Emmy season is going to be glorious for Ben Stiller and co.

The second season and episode of severance both respectively share an increase in pace, yet are both dominated by stunning locations and set designs capturing the show's tactile and generic branding type of vintage futurism.

Unlike the first episode of season two, this episode highlights the revelations of the characters lives outside of their work-selves. The more the characters learn about their "innies" at LUMON the more they realize they're even more at odds with their involvement within the company they disappear off into. Even some employees at higher levels who remain lucid throughout their experiences have some reservations about their roles.

There are no wasted opportunities to capture beauty in each shot and the minimalistic nature of each shot reflects the sterility and lack of intuition by the audience and characters alike.

A perplexing emotional sophomore season and episode have me in a place between anxiety and curiosity which almost always with this show, requires some time after each episode to "detach" from, which I find a little ironic.

Great episode. 10/10.

This episode had a great cinematography and recording, perhaps it is the episode with the best artistic direction of the series, that also creates expectations about the second season, which in my case, had been somewhat "broken" with the first episode and made me imagine that the series would take a totally different path from the first season, but they caught my attention with this second episode that complements the first, makes it better and resumes the entire path of its predecessor, making it more interesting and putting, once again, the taste of curiosity in our mouths hungry to know what will happen next.
