9.7/10 HOLY FUCK. This was it. They slam dunked this episode. WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW. The best visuals and cinematography I’ve ever seen in television. Argue with a brick wall, you bitches—this show was crafted by the incarnation of a TV God. Ben Stiller, you have my heart. This episode was so techni

8.2/10 Back to the main plot, and I’m glad—though Gemma’s backstory was easily one of the best episodes this show has ever done. Cobel’s, on the other hand… different. I get the need for lore, but I just wish it had been more interesting. Seeing Dylan’s outie be so cold to Gretchen was brutal. I’v

5.5/10 I heard bad things about this episode, but seriously… what even happened here? This was so pointless. I get that they’re reintroducing a character, but the entire storyline felt bland and stretched. This could’ve easily been a 10-minute subplot in any other episode this season. Ms. Cobel br

9.1/10 Ben Stiller is on an absolute generational run with this show. Every episode is a masterclass in tension and atmosphere, but this one? This one stands out from everything we’ve seen so far. Where the hell did this episode even come from? It felt like a completely different show, but in the

S02 E02 · Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig
8.2/10 One of the most brilliant aspects of Severance is how each episode recontextualizes the one before it. The show constantly plays with perspective, and this episode was no different. Seeing events from a new angle makes you question everything you thought you understood, reinforcing the eerie

S02 E01 · Hello, Ms. Cobel
8.5/10 Such a great season opener, and it suits Severance so well—starting with Mark just spawning in the elevator, keeping the action alive. Because in his life, it was only seconds ago that he received an unbelievable revelation… but for in reality, it’s been five months. Helly is acting SUPER s

9.7/10 WHAT THE FUCK JUST HAPPENED?! That was insane. One of the best finales I’ve ever seen. Every plot thread was so tense, the pacing was sickeningly good—just jumping from one incredible moment to the next with that glitch effect. It felt like one continuous scene somehow, never letting the te

8.8/10 Another Ben Stiller masterclass. How can we be eight episodes into such a compelling show, yet still know absolutely nothing?! It’s killing me with the tension. I’m so glad I don’t have to wait a week for every episode! Irving just keeps getting better. Now we find out he’s some dark, brood

9.0/10 THAT’S WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT!!! FIRE EPISODEEE. Severance is finally hitting so hard. The moment Ben Stiller is back directing, the episode cooks up a fucking storm!! “Let’s burn this place to the ground.” YES IRVING, LOCK IN AND TURN LUMON UPSIDE DOWN, YOU GOAT! I’m actually so hyped—tha

S01 E05 · The Grim Barbarity of Optics and Design
7.8/10 Pretty solid episode again, but it feels like the introduction phase is over—everyone means business now. Irving continues to be so goated. His relationship with Burt is unexpectedly wholesome, and their moment laughing at the joke through the glass was just adorable. I saw someone compare

7.6/10 Definitely the weakest episode of the show so far, but I can still see the vision. Severance continues to deliver an incredible atmosphere, with stunning visuals that perfectly complement the eerie, overwhelming pressure of Lumen. The whole place feels like a strange, virtual world, and it’s

7.8/10 Severance continues to impress with its eerie atmosphere and unsettling premise. The intro sequence stands out, with a tune that lingers in the mind, setting the perfect tone for the episode. The concept of split consciousness only becomes more terrifying as the story unfolds. Mark’s concer

S01 E01 · Good News About Hell
8.0/10 This is exactly the type of media I’ve been looking for—uneasy, odd, and compelling, with lingering questions after every episode. The cinematography was excellent, and I loved the contrast between the happy-go-lucky music and the endless blank corridors. The stark, sterile environment of t
