Severance is very good. Thought season 1 started slowly but was fantastic after the first 3 or 4 episodes. Enjoying season 2, but 10/10 is a bit much. Bread and butter 8/10 TV series
I am of this view too. It's good, albeit still a bit slow in places, and the early twist in S2 was fairly predictable.
If you’re talking about what I think you’re talking about, I didn’t think that was a twist at all. I thought it was obvious and I can’t imagine anyone didn’t see it coming, so I’m inclined to think it wasn’t meant to be a shock to the viewers, only to the characters. I dunno, maybe I misread it? 🤔

Yeah - there wasn't really a 'twist'. In fact, there hasn't been a traditional 'twist' in the show that I can think of - it's just a series of extremely well crafted mini rug-pulls and reveals, with an intriguing central premise that allows for all sorts of mind-fucks and emotional trauma. The last episode in particular is gut-wrenching - and the cinematography and set design is out of this world.
Don’t get the relentless drum banging for Severance. I’m not averse to a slow burner - Infact, I probably prefer box sets that give stories and characters that much more time to breathe and develop.
Usually, I’m all over slow, dialogue driven drama, or anything with a philosophical twist - but I found severance predictable from the off. Even without knowing the specific plot twists, it really doesn’t take much to guess the premise of the whole thing.
After the first 2/3 episodes of series 1, it kind of dawned on me that it was a little bit like watching the mid seasons of LOST. Not in content obviously, but in the structure. Fuck all happens for 90% of the episode, then at the end, there’s a twist, or a problem, or mystery, or a reveal that’s supposed to hook us in for the next episode. When that format dawned on me, I psychologically lost interest in the whole thing. I saw out season one spending a large time on my phone browsing other shite, waiting for it to just hurry up and end.
So underwhelmed with season 1, I haven’t bothered looking at season 2. Life’s too short.

Yeah, maybe! Plenty of US articles calling it a twist, but I agree it felt too obvious to be a conventional 'twist'
