    2nd finale episode quality

    This is rare for apple shows. Most shows I seen on Apple mostly take 2nd season slow. However, even people still make bad comments online, Severance gave us 2nd season finale quality episode on 6th episode. Mind-blowing experience without compromising cinematic quality nor story. There are still empty spots on mind and questions that are raised on the story, but the information bomb in just 50 minutes... too much.

    In my advice, it is an episode to watch at home, or at somewhere you can loudly say "What's happening". Live the experience as a whole, and enjoy each moment equally. Because this episodes first-watch will be a special cinematic experience for you.

    The End of the Severe(ance) Le(u)mon?

    The film-o'graphy was clever at times, aggravating at others. Some of the scenes were quite good; just about every viewer will enjoy the awkward office retreat (winky face) or the homosexual love triangle discussing their unprotected lust-acts (goats NOT involved) over a delicious meal. Impeccable cinema for an otherwise dry spell of a season. Speaking of which, it's also impossible to overlook how this is The Episode where the writers finally decide to lift their foot off of the brake pedal, allowing the plot to inch forward a bit after half a season of the universe calmly waiting at a near-perfect standstill, with only minor character development to make up for the fact.

    These characters, however and regardless of personal development, have had their behaviors growing increasingly silly to fit into whatever holes the plot provides, as if it was written the wrong way around. Everyone in the universe-innie and outie-has been growing increasingly clueless and irrational since the beginning of the season. Very distracting!

    Burt and Irv

    Thematically the strongest episode in the season yet. Mark's procedure comes full circle, and it leaves me wanting more and more. The dinner scene was some of the strongest dialogue in the show yet. Exploring the themes of what it's like to be an innie and the consequences of what happens on the outside world while the other severed part remains the best explored part of the show so far. I really loved the score, and many of the scenes succeeded in a great nail biting fashion. I'm eager for more, and this is shaping up to be one of the better seasons of television. It's brilliant and I'm here for it.

    I hate this show man

    Every week, I tune into Severance absolutely gasping-counting down the hours, desperate to see what happens next. And every time, without fail, it delivers. It answers lingering questions, confirms (or completely shatters) our suspicions, and just when I think I might have a grip on things-bam-something happens that leaves my jaw on the floor. Then I have to wait. Seven whole days. 168 agonizing hours where, if I'm not at the mercy of sleep, Severance is living rent-free in my head. Did I miss something? How the hell is this going to turn out well for our characters? And worst of all, am I going to have to wait another three years for the final season?

    I hate the control this show has over me. But damn, what a ride.

    The Innies are growing up

    Wow. Just wow! This show does an amazing job of giving you some of what you want while also letting you want more. This is perhaps the most fractured episode of the show as Mark continues down his path of reintegration. To the point, the severed and unsevered parts overlap a little. But I don't want to get into the plot or spoilers. For me, what really makes this show is the characters! Adam Scott is amazing at playing both Mark S. And Mark Scout; they really feel like two separate characters connected by this actor. And Britt Lower's performance is simply Amazing!!! Her perfromance is so powerful. I loved that we got to see Helly and Mark again in a calmer environment this time! I'm definitely rooting for their relationship. They are such a cute couple. Also, Props to Tramell Tillman. For the first season and a half I just hated Mr. Milchick but now your starting to see a more complicated side to him. And the subtleties that he brings to the role are amazing! Dylan G also steals the show as being with his overconfidence, and yet there is a vulnerable side to him. You really feel bad for these poor characters who are forever stuck in this work environment. Simply put, this show is amazing week after week, and I just can't wait for next Thursday!
