Hello, Ms. Cobel

This episode was brilliant. It was everything it had to be. So much to applaud. This show doesn't feel real. It doesn't seem like something that should exist right now. More like 2012. That's the only way to explain the dependability.

Dylan is the standout here, for me. Everything he does in this episode is so impactful. I'm in love with it. John Turturro is still the greatest to do it, but each of his scene partners hold their own throughout a runtime that is gorgeously cut.

We are witnessing a meteoric rise. The start of something people won't forget. A generational run.

Perfection. No notes.

I was expecting more excitement and tension, but a good start only promises better things to come.

The actors' performance was good, I didn't like the new team at all, I would have liked to see it from the outside as well."Severance" has captured the insignificance of modern work better than any other series, using sci-fi hyperbole to help us come to terms with the dystopian reality of our own world. Season 2 continues the show's keen insight and insistence on the humanity of characters condemned to a hostile environment.

The first episode of Severance's second season has been a great success, delivering on expectations and adding depth to the characters and story. The season has become more engaging with better handling of identity and social issues, especially in the workplace. The cast, especially Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette, have been able to give stronger performances that have helped develop the story. Also, more mysteries have been revealed since the first season, but there are still many questions that will keep the audience interested.

I hope my review is long enough to make it... It really is simple. Everything in this show means something and every second is thought out. If you don't understand that, after the first season, I can't help you. To say this first episode of the second season is a throw away or irrelevant just proves you do not understand the vision of the writers and directors. They clearly know what they want to do and where they are going. The details that are carefully placed prove this fact. If, at the end of the second season you have issues, feel free to air them. However, to say you are disappointed because all of your questions were not answered from the first season in the first episode of the second season is absolutely foolish.

Much like the first season, it does look like the tension and the psychological thriller will start escalating slowly, and that is indeed the magic of this show. Ben Stiller directs what is the stepping stone for one of the most expected comebacks in modern television, including a hysterical entry-sequence, and the good old uncomfy humour we all know. It does make sense why things happen here, and it sets the foundations to leave you intrigued about the unravelling of such a complex character-driven story. That being said, I also recognize the presence of a more fluid narrative and a slightly elevated initial pace for being the first episode; I cannot wait for the next ones to come.

It's back.

I was worried for this pilot - its been so long and with the excellence of season 1, and the LONG wait between seasons I was ready to find myself uninterested and having lost something.

I am happy to report this is not the case, the episode grabs you and reminds you EXACTLY why you enjoyed season 1. Fun characters, a really fun and meaty mystery to sink your teeth into and just a splash of weirdness.

The life-changing alterations made to characters in last seasons finale aren't shrugged off and even in this episode you can already feel the wheels turning plot-wise.

An easy recommend and I am no longer worried about this seasons quality. Immensely looking forward to the rest of this season.
