It’s a gorgeously produced narrative wreck. I really wanted to like it and there were certainly interesting parts like the clones that were fascinating. It’s been a while but I remember feeling insulted like too many episodes have Harry or someone show up at the end to deliver a five minute exposition explaining what was happening.
Lots and lots of tell don’t show ruins the fun for me which is why I’m loving Severance right now, they’re soo good at showing not telling.

The thing about Severance is that from a sci-fi perspective it’s a horrifically believable story that has more than shades of Stephen King about it.
I am not a fan of horror and never have been.
In this case as an experienced sci-fi reader and technology professional, it’s ringing a little too close to home.
Can you spell Neuralink?
