Hello, Ms. Cobel

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.

The last episode of season 1 was extremely well made and intense. Rounding up the first season of Severance perfectly.

Because of this, there were expectations i suppose to kind of follow that rythm in season 2.

Picking up where it let off since it's a continous story.

Sadly this episode did not feel like it continued from season 1. It feels like a different show with similar atmosphere.

Confusing viewers with different unsatisfactory explanations. Totally dropping the intensity that season 1 beautifully choreographed.

Confusing viewers was obviously made purposefully, however, i feel like they missed the mark. The decisions made on how season 2 would continue, was a bit off. Leaving the viewer a bit empty, without an impact like season 1 had on you.

Perhaps season 2 will get better, and meet the amazing quality and storyline of season 1. Who knows.....

This is just a review, everybodys opinions will be different. Note: No matter how season 2 goes, season 1 is still a masterpiece.

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.

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.

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.
