Excellent factual story telling. Superlative production values, cinematography, soundtrack, editing, research, interviews, direction (Rob Miller)... Well worth the 3 episode watch, all the while, providing just how damaging social media can result in, especially when young. I also have a greater appreciation for Anonymous and their collaborative efforts; no matter how meager their call to action may be. I imagine Hunter Moore was abused in prison, in the same manner he encouraged his demented followers and victims; nightmares for a lifetime.

I believe this was just utter hilarious genius... The story, EFX (for its time) all hilariously entertaining. Based upon a SNL skit, decades old, they managed to weave significant substance into this storyline. Writing, direction, cast... everyone and everything is an absolute pleasure, truly entertaining. It's also heartfelt, dealing with so many differing aspects of our human psyche; prejudices, love, perceptions... It can't help but pluck at your heartstring's. Roll a fatty, get seriously baked and be prepared to truly enjoy yourself. It's a fantastical journey, to say the least ;-)

And as always, comedy as well as art is in the eye of the beholder... Enjoy.

I doubt you'll find anything quite like Severance; I know I haven't. Its originality is well beyond the scope of norm. Season 1, conceptually, is minimalistic in its presentation, while the human elemental aspect's are truly what this production is all about - deeply intriguing; drawing parallels to a well known cult/theological aspiration (but indirectly related) we're all seemingly relatively familiar with. Writing, direction, casting, sets, production values, cinematography ... coupled with Theodore Shapiro's scoring (and theme) is utterly entrancing, and an absolute essential part of this production's ambience; all of it being exceptional, contributing ecstatically to the overall storyline. Apple+ is to be commended for commissioning such an exceptionally unusual and challenging production.
