I know. You know that I know. I know that you know that I know.
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.
