Whelp. They certainly turned that up a notch.
Right at the end of Season 1, the innies get a chance to go out. This could not possibly go well…
Except apparently all is well in the world?
Until… it’s not.
We have drama, both innie and outie and mixed. We have goats. We have sex scenes. We have wives cheating with their own husbands. We have a trip into the woods.
And we have a marching band.
I quite enjoyed this show.
And now I have to wait for season 3!!
Episode by episode review (definite spoilers in later episodes for earlier ones)
Severance S2
1. Hello, Ms. Cobel
Five months.
New boss. New team. New Milchick.
Mark W: Why are you a child? Miss Huang: Because of when I was born.
Oh… this show is weird.
Just kidding. Same old MDR. With stories. And lies.
Oh… this show is weird.
2. Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig
And now back to the night it all happened.
It was also very brave.
I’d hate to reward his courage with nonexistence.
It’s not huge forward momentum, but it does fill in some spots I was hoping to see.
Why did you do this?
What the fuck is this all about?
Man Mrs. Covelvig is a lot.
3. Who Is Alive?
Goats.
4. Woe’s Hollow
And then they were outside. With weird pointing clones and hallucinations and a sex scene.
And man the twists.
This show just went several steps weirder and I’m not sure what to think about that.
5. Trojan’s Horse
And now Helly R. returns to work. Oh boy that’s a mess.
And Mark(s) are about to Mark.
Oooh boy.
6. Atilla
The scene with Dr. Walter Bishop from Fringe, Jesus from the Big Lebowski, and Christopher Walken was … really something.
And Mark’s complicated relationship with Helly(s) just got me complicated.
Oh. And brain surgery.
Oh this show.
7. Chikhai Bardo
Gemma.
Gemmas.
At least my theory that her outtie was dead between innie sessions doesn’t seem to be the case.
I’m … not sure this is better.
What in the world is Lumon doing?!
8. Sweet Vitriol
So Harmony’s history goes much further than I expected.
A weird aside.
9. The After Hours
Eggs. A promotion. Cheating. A hidden past. Harmony. Falling apart. Driven away. Resigning. Big words. Little words. Innocence. Bus. Train. Truck. What the fuck?
Cold Harbor.
Oh this show.
One more!
10. Cold Harbor
Marks’ conversation was certainly a scene.
And then… the Marching Band123
And then… Mammalian Offerings. With verve. And wiles.
And then… Gemma/Helly. Does Mark S. have the slightest plan for what in the world can he do next?
