    Just give us some answers already!

    Another useless episodes just stringing us around with more and more mystery while not providing any answers.

    I loved this show in S1. My annoyance with it increases with every new episode. They post episodes once a week, and answer none of the old questions...just keep adding more and more layers but never the final truth. At this point I am very tempted to watch those Youtube prediction channels that scan through every detail, which I have been avoiding cause I don't wanna spoil stuff so that I can enjoy plot twists. But if they keep endlessly teasing us, I am going to do just that and end up hating this series when they can't surprise me anymore.

    Just give us some answers already.

    Aftermath

    Wow, just wow. This episode was incredible. Following the aftermath of the events at Woe's Hollow, the ODR team finds themselves one member short and regaining an old member. This was an emotional episode, even though Mark was frustrating at times. Helly was once again amazing. She is definitely my favorite character, and I think there is more to her outie than people are giving her credit for. Britt gives an incredible performance, and if she doesn't get an award for this show, I'm gonna be mad. This was another great Dylan G. Episode, as we got to see a more sensitive side to his strong-headed character. Mr. Milchick is also just a great character, and every time I think I have him figured out, something comes along that makes me question it. This is also the first episode this season that shows both the Oties and the Inies' perspectives. It was nice having that balance again. It's also nice to learn more about the reintegration process and how it works. And that ending was a gut punch. My only complaint was that it wasn't long enough, and I had to wait another week for the next episode. Ultimately, this is my favorite show right now and a must-watch for everyone.

    Gemma unleashed

    Mumbo No.5 from brick No. 2. After five dimension nonsense we are back to indoor activities, confusion and more confusion. Nothing makes sense as before. The flow is lighting bright and horrible as lit tunnels.

    And finally, ecstatic viewers are back in this filler-tasty episode for Huang my weird favorite.

    I would love to get re-acquainted with Gemma the hologram wife.

    It just gets better and better...

    First of all, I want to mention the cinematography. It is absolutely astounding and even if the content of the show was utter garbage, I would marvel at the visuals.

    Thankfully, the content of the show is brilliant.

    The dialogue, mannerisms and motivations of each character is so unique and nuanced, ensuring that each character is so fully fleshed out that they could each have their own spin-off show.

    In this episode, the interactions between different characters, especially with the concept of inside and outside, makes every conversation enthralling.

    Another reason why this episode is so beautifully written is that it reveals answers to previous questions through shocking revelations, but simultaneously creates new questions that are arguably more thrilling, meaning that the show doesn't overplay its hand or lose momentum after a revelation.

    In this way, as as mentioned before, you are constantly analysing each conversation for clues that could provide answers to future questions that might arise.

    I made the brave call of calling Season 1 of Severance one of the best first seasons in my TV history, but Season 2 is turning out to be even stronger.

    Absolute Cinema

    This season is on an absolute roll. It just keeps going episode after episode, and its building up to being one of the best tv shows ever.

    John Turturro (the goat) obviously gave us a masterclass in acting last episode. And Britt Lower is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses, I mean the facial expressions in these last 2 episodes are something Else. An emmy award is surely coming her way.

    The Production of this season have also somehow been elevated to new heights.

    Kudos to everyone working on this show.

    -5 episodes in and 5 episodes to go- Cant Wait to see where this intense season will take us!

    Absolute Cinema!
