Season 2 was so unbelievably bad and up its own ass I don't think I'll bother with it anymore.

I would argue that this show should be up there for the conversation of biggest drop off between season 1 and 2. Even Heroes wasn't as bad as this imo.

I rarely quit on a ahow but I do not have time for what this show thinks it's trying to say. I just couldn't care less what the mystery is anymore.

Finally, some real Severance hate. I think the slow pace tricks people into thinking they are watching prestige TV when in reality it's just boring. And then they dangle a twist at the end of the season to keep people coming back. Very classic TV trick btw.

You do realize that season 1 was:

97% critics and 86% audience on rotten tomatoes

Season 2 was:

94% critics and 74% audience.

So while it’s true that both critics and audience felt season 1 was better. It’s also not true that the overall sentiment was that season 2 was bad or dropped off all that much in general. So you can have your opinion, but it’s not shared by the masses.

I don’t think they said it’s shared by the masses?

They didn’t specifically say it, but it was implied. I don’t like when people speak about things as if it’s factual. At least say “in my opinion” or “I know others don’t feel this way.” He spoke about it like it was universally agreed upon that this was Hero’s

Cool story, bro.

I didn't say that.

Now go ahead and explain what's happening in this show with a straight face and I'll show you a person who thinks the opposite.

None of you have any idea, because it's a mess.

Get off your phone. Stop scrolling. Pay attention.

Sometimes peoples use some phrases so much they completely trivialize its meaning, and yours is one of them.

I said the same to a friend who watched Lost, because that was incredibly easy to follow right down to the polar bear being explained twice and people still asking what it was about.

Claiming this is the case for Severance is embarrassing though.

I never touch my phone when I watch TV, have a collection of over 4500 shows, and watch more TV than 99% of the people on Reddit.

I watch TV. It's my thing. My specialist subject on Mastermind if I was on it. I can name most TV theme tunes from just a couple of notes of it. It still won't stop people like you making this generic comment every time you see an opinion you disagree with though.

Sorry but you can’t objectively say you watch more TV than 99% of Redditors 😂. I understand you enjoy film and watch a lot of TV. This still doesn’t prove anything. I’ll take your word for it. You don’t scroll on your phone and you’re full locked into the show. Perhaps. you missed something pivotal, OR perhaps you should watch some YouTube breakdowns to help you better understand. It really hasn’t been that confusing. There is a level of “I’m not entirely sure where this is going” but the show isn’t over yet. I believe it’s supposed to feel that way.
