Season 2 Review:
Where there are plenty of sweet moments and a continuation of the surreal commentary on faceless megacorporations, meaningless jobs, and out-of-whack work-life balance, showrunner Dan Erickson is overly focused on long shots of Severance’s bleak world or clumsily building up its villains.

Season 2 Review:
It feels churlish to criticize one for trying to do as much as this season of “Severance” is attempting, but it’s a balance and the scales are out of whack enough that I too often questioned why I should care – a feeling I never had in season one. It’s also a show that’s a bit too in love with its pregnant pauses, calling awareness to its “heavy ideas” instead of weaving them into the fabric of the show.

Season 1 Review:
What exactly are we watching? As a critique of office life, it’s empty, and somewhat patronizing. ... There is certainly a strain of comedy being worked here, along with some seemingly random, one might say Buñuelian weirdnesses, but it is not often funny; at times, it feels meant as satire, but of what? ... The season finale is genuinely exciting and suspenseful, but, really, even as an advocate of slow television, we might have got there in half the time with twice the effect.
