I've watched two times over for season 2. I absolutely love the cinemetography, and the focus on colours which I actually think is important to the story.

I think I have a theory on the story

I can gather that it's some sort of experiment to do with the brain and probably memory recollection. Everything is carefully organized inside, the colours, down to Marks colleagues, and we saw with the replacements that they used like for like characters to convey familiarity with Mark indicating that they initially weren't concerned with the loss of his regular crew. I think Lumon is trying to extract memories from Mark for some purpose that relates to his late wife. I feel like there's possibly a bit of Black Mirror stuff here like in White Christmas, perhaps it's a simulation of some sort.

What direction it goes from there is a guess.

Came across this one over the past week and already up to speed. Brilliant show, tense throughout.

Such a great scene. How the actor playing Milichick can appear absolutely terrifying whilst in a scene like this credit to the actors ability.

Reminds me of my other favourite dance scene
 
S2 E3 - Outstanding episode.

Didn't think Mark would find out this early about Gemma being alive - opens up the scope of storytelling now, which is great. I was hoping it wasn't going to be a series of "Mark ALMOST finds out about Gemma being alive but something interrupts it" scenarios.

Even more obvious now that it's Helena posing as Helly R. On first watch, noticed how Helena is cautiously following Mark throughout the Lumon rooms, rather than being the gung-ho rebel that Helly R is/was. A good example is how she followed Mark in to the goat door - if it was Helly R, she would've lead the way or at least more strongly pushed it.

Helena wearing her hair down like Helly R outside in her exchange with Harmony also stood out. She's starting to like Helly R perhaps? Subconsciously taking on her attributes?

Did I catch that Dylan's wife in a cop uniform or in law enforcement? Interesting.

This show is outstanding. It’s fricken genius.

The goat people!!! Led by Brienne of Tarth!

Pouches…..ha!

The Mark situation has just gone up a notch or two.

Every scene in that episode was remarkable. Not a wasted second.

The soundtrack for this season is a step up in quality and tie in.

Pumped up Eminence Front by the Who full blast tonight. Glorious.

Interesting episode. Am I the only one with glassy eyes watching that Dylan scene with his wife. He obviously tries real hard, works hard but absent at home.

Miss Huang is ****ing emotionless.

I love the aloofness with Cobel, and the twist there with Helena. Is Cobel smart, and can see the writing on the wall, or was she played. Bit lost on this one.

You can feel the human element with Helena inside. There seems to be a contrived, perhaps fabricated or emotionless element of the innies that's not prevalent with Helena and Mark clearly spotted this. It's going to be interesting with Mark being reintegrated. I may have got it wrong. I initially thought Helena was integrated somehow but now it seems as if she really is Helena and Helly is no longer active, but Mark is integrated so perhaps he will share both personalities and experiences.

I feel like there are going to be so many twists to come

Milkshakes "gift" has been the funniest thing I've seen so far this year.

How good was the acting when opening the gift?

The restrained revulsion.

I just watched a season one recap and I'm more confused than ever!
My cooked old brain has forgotten more than remembered.
I might just have to start again from the beginning.
 
Does it bother anyone else that the OP has miss-spelt Severance?

Really enjoying things for the moment but can't help but get very similar feelings to how it felt watching Lost early doors when things started getting weird and the disappointment that came when trying to tie that together

Severance seems like the type of show they won't run it into the ground. Reckon it's probably going for another season or two and that will be it.

Writing has been excellent.


Nice breakdown and likely confirming something about the last few episodes.
