It's on a weekly release schedule, so only the first episode released today. Has anyone been watching this series? Did you watch the new episode? What do you think of all of it so far?

I think the series is fantastic in so many ways - concept, writing, acting, directing, cinematography, production design, music. I usually avoid watching series these days, but this show really has me hooked. I was hoping to discuss it a bit here since I haven't found much about it on Lemmy yet. I figured that this would be a favorite with a lot of people here.

If you mention details about the story, please don't forget to add spoiler masks and alerts.

I liked it but Jesus it was drawn out. They could have done the last season in like 4 episodes

i watched s2e1 yesterday and it was a boring getting-the-gang-back-together.

i have high expectations for season 2 but...

I'm a little hyped about it. I really enjoyed the first season. I'm afraid second season is going to be a slower one with too much filler, but I'll probably enjoy it as well.

Severance is an absolutely incredible premise, and each of the actors are perfect for their roles. I doubt the casting staff could have done any better with the choices they made. The Easter egg (if you want to call it that) in the first episode of season two is breathtaking, as soon as you realize that it is what you think it is.

Severance and Silo could probably rival Lost as far as storylines that could carry the shows for a long time.

Isn’t Silo just the screen version of the Wool books?

Omg cannot wait to watch it. Severance is one of the best TV shows I’ve ever seen.

Agreed! These days I try to only watch super highly rated shows after they have ended, like The Sopranos, The Wire, and Breaking Bad, but I'm glad I fell for this one at this time.

Very different type of show, but, I highly recommend Ted Lasso. Very light, lots of fun inside jokes, smart and quality relationships.

This is amazing--thank you for this news!! I have been waiting so long that i forgot to check if it finally came back. Season 1 was one of the best shows I've seen in years and i really hope they continue on the path they were forging

Note that spoiler tags don't always work. It depends on your client.

If you haven't seen S2E1 and don't want spoilers, turn back now.

Thank you brilliant sir!

Really enjoyed the first season, I might watch it again before starting on the new ones.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

We like to rewatch the last episode of the previous season prior. Helps freshen our minds on where things left off.

Holy hell 3 years already fml. Let's go!

Edit: to answer the prompt some, I really enjoyed season 1 and have not seen any of the new content and was not aware that it was dropping
