Absolutely not. I've just recently watched the two seasons of ‘Severance’, wherein Ben Stiller evidently thought himself to be modern Kubrick. For the foreseeable future I'm not watching anything that's more than ten episodes start to finish (with an exception for ‘Berlin Alexanderplatz’). I want stories where the author has something to say, with beginning and an end, and I have a large backlog of classic films.
Severance? Is that the office/private mind division show on Apple streaming?
It looks like it has high reviews on imdb, even per ep except for s2e8. But even then, looks like the seasons started and ended strong. What didn't you like about it?
But also, wanting something with a strong message is totally understandable. Not that one piece doesn't, but I do understand what wavelength you're on. For me, that comes in moods. Sometimes I want popcorn, other times I want philosophical provocation, and sometimes, I even want an answer, not an open ended series of impossible questions each leading towards depression or madness.
‘Severance’ has a great premise, strong atmosphere, and is overall made very well. Except it's stretched beyond measure. The second season in particular has lots of shots where absolutely nothing is happening, just some landscapes or whatever for minutes on end. It's painfully obvious that Apple or whoever decided they're gonna have twenty seasons instead of three.
I like Kubrick a lot, love the space station shots in ‘2001’, and even then when in ‘Spartacus’ platoons of soldiers were marching to formation for ten minutes, I straight up fell asleep in my chair. I certainly don't want an entire show of this, especially with the possibility of it ending nowhere.
