Hello, Ms. Cobel

Brilliant start to season 2 after 3 years of waiting. I usually don't write reviews but seeing how some people were calling this episode disappointing because they wanted more excitement or instant reveals of what is going made me want to write this. It is the writers' intention to keep us in the dark, everything Milkshake told Mark is most likely a lie and we (the viewers) will be kept in the dark the same as the innies, this show is made to make us feel like an innie and see how corporations lie and keep us in the dark. Everything will be revealed in due time, like in the first season, where they usually show one perspective, then another. Great new casting, new MCR woman made me h8 her and the new child is very creepy, lots of mystery was setup, can't wait for the next episode. You probably won't like it if you're looking for instant gratification or 'excitement', whatever that means, maybe a waffle party? Idk.

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.

Severance has to be one of my favorite shows, and I was so sad that the writer strike pushed the second season back. The end of season 1 has to be one of the best TV episodes ever. So I was expecting a lot, to say the least, and I wasn't disappointed. The show picks up where season 1 ended, at least from the perspectives of our Inies. Five months have passed in the real world, but the Inies and we, as the viewers, don't know what has happened in the real world. Mark S. Is confused and in search of his team. The entire cast is perfect, and they pick up where they left off without missing a beat. The show is really good at presenting things ominously and creepily. I'm really interested in seeing what is going on with Helly after what she was like in the real world. I still have a lot of questions, especially about the outside world, but I have faith that they will explain them. I'm excited to see what happens next.

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.

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.
