If anyone was harboring any illusions about just how utterly fucked up Lumon is, I’m hoping this episode was enough to disavow you of them. Because Jesus Christ, that was horrific to watch. Seeing Lumon torturing Gemma – and that’s what it is, torture – over the course of years? That’s horrific. It’s fun to […]

Severance – Atilla Review
Well, that was a heck of a lot to pack into a single episode. From the much-anticipated meeting between Burt, Irving, and Fields to the continued reintegration of Mark’s Innie and Outie lives, this, for my money, is the episode in season two where things really start kicking into high gear from a story perspective. […]
Severance – Trojan’s Horse Review
Well, that was a lot, wasn’t it? If there’s one thing to say about Severance, it’s that it doesn’t simply just rest on its laurels and draw out the reveals and revelations. Rather, we got further confirmation that Mark is reintegrating both of his selves – albeit with a nagging cough that I suspect is […]
Severance – Woe’s Hollow Review
Out of the six episodes of season two I’ve seen, “Woe’s Hallow” was far and away my favorite (and that’s saying something, as my pre-season review can attest: I loved all of these episodes). I’ll also admit that the first time I watched the episode, it was directly after finishing episode three, (which, you may […]
Severance – Who Is Alive? Review
I’ll admit that this episode of Severance threw me for a loop in a number of ways and left me with more questions than answers – particularly when it comes to the Cobel arc for this season. In fact, I’ve watched it four times thus far, trying to understand just what is going on with […]
Severance – Goodbye, Mrs. Selvig
Well, this week we got to see just what our main four’s Outies were up to in the time between their Innies’ jail breaks until they reunited back on the Severed Floor at Lumon. Or, rather, we got to see a lot of what Mark and Helena were up to, more of Dylan’s Outie’s life […]
Severance – Hello Ms. Cobel Review
And just like that – okay, after a three year wait – Severance is back! Thank Kier. And what a delightful way to throw us back into the world of Lumon, Innies, Outies (of whom we saw next to nothing this week), and Macrodata Refinement. And, I would be remiss not to mention, some absolutely […]
Severance Season Two Review
I won’t bury the lede for you: the long-awaited second season of Severance is great. I easily found myself swept back up into the world of Lumon, rewatching several of my screeners just to be sure that I caught everything I needed to catch to piece together the various arcs unspooling this time around (a […]
Severance Spoiler-Free Review
Do you ever feel like there are two of you – the professional you at work and the more “real” you in your home life? That’s the central crux of Severance, the smart new thriller from AppleTV+ – only in this case, there really are two versions of several main characters. You see, Lumon Industries […]
