SEVERANCE

[choc_cardigan]

First ep definitely sets the world building.

This shyt is flames.

Ted Lasso, Shrink Next Door, After Party, Apple TV has some good shyt on there.

So dope that this actually has a legit opening title intro. Quality is great for an Apple TV original that you could put it on an HBO Sunday night and it wouldn’t look bizarre at all.

Score sounding like an eerie United Airlines commercial

So far it’s reminding me of Fukunaga’s Maniac and Garland’s Devs, but way more subtle. Atmosphere makes me feel as if Gondry and Kaufman were behind it.

Spoiler

Arquette’s outie character doesn’t seem to be severed and is likely keeping eyes on Mark, me thinks. Just off facial cues and the conflicting stories alone.

Christopher Walken da GAWD out of nowhere

Seeing him and Turturro alongside got me in my feels. Them two did their thing in films during the 90s.

Britt Lower’s about to be my new crush, but man I wanna take a trip to the wellness room right NOW.

Gon watch this.

Them r/antiwork cacs about to have a field day with this one.

 

[AVXL]

Love this shyt

 

[pete clemenza]

Good first opening episodes. Moves a little slow at times but I'm definitely on board with this one to see where it goes

 

[jericho]

Both opening eps got me hooked

No idea where this is going but goddamn I can't wait for the next ep

Do I need to circle back for Devs? I started but never finished

Just watched the first 2 episodes

Does a great job of immediately getting you curious about what is going down and shifting perspectives.

I just hope ol boy gets his waffle party

When the numbers start looking scary to you

I’d say go at the rest of the episodes at your own pace, because to me it wasn’t a “drop everything right away and watch” kind of show.

Wanted to like this more than I did because I’ve seen better from Garland. I don’t know what his obsession is with the main actress but she was pretty wooden in it. Offerman, the cinematography, and that sound design were the standouts, IMO. Only reasons I kept trucking through.

Thats a good way of putting it. It looked and sounded pretty but I couldn't get pulled in by the main character.

Meh. I can see how the concept could get interesting a few episodes down the road, but I was bored. Very stupid to make this the first episode.
