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.
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?
Yep, it’s based on the book series. It does deviate from the source material in some ways, as do most adaptions, but the major story beats are (and most certainly will be) the same.
What’s the easter egg?
A voice.
Hmm, I must have missed this easter egg, unless you mean the “H” theory.
It’s an uncredited cameo appearance in the form of a voice.
Got it, thanks. I thought maybe that was what you were referring to. Do you think that it has plot implications, or did it take your breath away because of who it was?
“Breathtaking” is a reference to who it is.
Cool, thanks again.
You’re welcome.
I feel the same way about Severance!
