The second season of Severance finally started on AppleTV+ a couple days ago, after 3 years. What do you think of the series? (self.showsandmovies)

It's on a weekly release schedule, so only the first episode released [last Friday]. 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 [tags].

Someone suggested I cross-post this here. Let me know if it's not appropriate and I'll take it down.

Note: people who are worried about spoilers, be aware that apparently some clients don't handle spoiler tags correctly. Proceed at your own risk.

I would start episode discussion threads, but don't know where would be the appropriate place for that.

Love it, so glad it's back. It's so interesting and the characters are all interesting in their own way. Just weird enough too without being up its own arse, though time will tell.

I really enjoyed season one and I really appreciate the huge swing the season one finale took.

The start of season two has started to reign that in. I think the first episode was great for the innies and gave us just enough information (Helly). If the next episode is all innie I'll be concerned.

Just watched it last night and after that we watched a recap of season 1.. wrong order but there ya go. The recap was necessary! They should have done one, it's been years since season 1.

Enjoyed the first episode, there's a lot in it, lots set up. But yeah if it's all innie for the second I'll be a bit disappointed.

There was a recap, you probably either skipped it or sailed the seven seas.

Ah yes, it's my own fault! Good, glad they did that.
