It’s on a weekly release schedule, so only the first episode released today. Has anyone been watching this series? Did you watch the new episode? What do you think of all of it so far?
I think the series is fantastic in so many ways - concept, writing, acting, directing, cinematography, production design, music. I usually avoid watching series these days, but this show really has me hooked. I was hoping to discuss it a bit here since I haven’t found much about it on Lemmy yet. I figured that this would be a favorite with a lot of people here.
If you mention details about the story, please don’t forget to add spoiler masks and alerts.
I hope it doesn’t happen. This is one of my biggest pet peeves with most series, when they stretch the story so thin trying to milk it forever, and the main reason why I generally only watch series after they’ve finished running and are still very highly rated. Severance I think is the first exception for me in many years (decades?), so I hope they don’t disappoint me. So far I’m not feeling that. It seems that there’s a lot in store for us. I saw someone on another site comment that Dan Erickson had mentioned that the story was planned to play out over 4 to 6 seasons (or was it 3 to 6)?
Imo “The Good Place” is an example of a series that did it right. They had an easy setup to just keep the formula, but instead every season they changed the setting and moved forward. I hope Severence manages a similar standard. I think Silo somewhat fell into this trap for the second season, but was still very good.
Silo season 2 spoiler
If i remember correctly compared to the books they spent way more time in the first Silo and the rebellion, which took out some momentum.
