Severance (m.media-amazon.com)

Severance was one of the most beautiful series I watched of late. Not just intriguing, but beautiful, artistically beautiful. Very happy to hear it's been renewed for a second season.

Let's discuss it! :)

I loved Severance! It’s definitely my most anticipated upcoming season of a show

[-] pglpm@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

I had the luck of watching the first season only very recently – weeks ago :)

[-] funnyjelo@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Waiting for season 2 is pain.

[-] HectorBarbossa99@lemmy.fmhy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

I'm just afraid that its gonna end up being a let down, as so many season 2s have in the not so distant past

[-] pizza_rolls@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

I am dying for season 2. Nothing comes close in quality 😭

[-] Klanky@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 year ago

I loved it too, I was on the Severance sub on Reddit, hoping something pops up over here.

Absolutely love Severance. Don't know how to do a spoiler tag in Lemmy but I will be heartbroken if John Turturro doesn't get a happy ending with his love interest. They were cute.

[-] pglpm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Turturro and Walken were simply fantastic in their roles. Long way from More Cowbell...

I really appreciate that media (even if it’s pandering, whatever) is starting to show a much wider variety of romantic relationships. Representation is important, and seeing the gentle courtship between Burt and Irving was incredibly sweet.

[-] Zenith25@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I couldn’t agree with you more, I absolutely loved the first season. Brilliant acting, perfect pacing and all around just one of the best science fiction shows of recent years.

Hopefully the second season will be as good!

Check out Silo if you haven’t already. Quite different but also excellent sci fi

I worry about the long gap between season 1 and season 2. A lot of shows have really suffered with such long gaps, especially ones that are as serialized as this one is.

[-] pglpm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

1.5+ years is a long time... It'll be good to rewatch season 1 right before. I share your worries.

[-] faltuuser@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely loved S01. When will Season 2 come out?

[-] KingMob@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's going to be a while, production has been shut down due to the writer's strike.

[-] KingMob@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

It's going to be a while, production has been shut down due to the writer's strike.

There has been some production continuing quietly in Newfoundland.

There were a few local media reports.

[-] HulkSmashBurgers@reddthat.com 2 points 1 year ago

Can't wait for season 2!

[-] VerifiablyMrWonka@kbin.social 2 points 1 year ago

Just finished watching it. Absolutely fantastic television. The last episode has me so tense I'm actually shaking.

So well shot, the music thoughout. The way it builds tention. chefs kiss

[-] w3dd1e@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

I just started watching this. I can’t believe I waited so long, it’s fantastic! (So far)

[-] joe@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago
[-] pglpm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Let this be it? I'll change the title in case.

[-] davetansley@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I loved Season 1... it had that rarest of things in modern TV: a premise that was so intriguing, it made me think about it when I wasn't watching the show. So many deep questions to ponder about it.

[-] pglpm@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

An element that amazed me were the framings. Art. I've never seen something like that, besides maybe in some films by Kubrick like A Clockwork Orange and 2001.

[-] TheSilentOne59@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

When is season 2 supposed to come out? They kinda teased it last year during Apple’s iPhone event but I haven’t heard anything about it since.

[-] pglpm@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Only news I saw about it were these. But maybe there's something more recent out there?

[-] Polkira@kbin.social 1 points 1 year ago

This is one of those shows I wish I could watch for the first time again. I hardly ever get my husband to watch more than 2 episodes of anything in a row but we binged this show in a day, it was so compelling! Can't wait for a season 2, that was such a big cliffhanger of a last episode.

[-] mykl@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I watched Severance by mistake, thinking I was watching Succession, which meant I was totally disoriented for the first few episodes as I waited for Brian Cox to turn up. It was glorious. Can totally recommend.

[-] thebeardedgent@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Oh man! I'm really excited about this. Felt like it was such a unique premise and it did not disappoint.

[-] LollerCorleone@kbin.social 0 points 1 year ago

Thank you. This post has convinced me to give it a try.
