Severance

[Jassassino]

And as of today, Season 2 has come to an end. Ben Stiller has blue-balled me and is making me wait another couple of years before I find out what the Hell(y R) is happening next.


Please spoiler tag all discussion for the most recent season for people who may not have finished it!

Finale Spoilers below!

Spoiler:

No way in my shiny Lumon desk adorned Hell was that Helly R at the end. Helena is playing cheap tricks and Innie Mark just fucked his Outie over!

I cannot believe it.

I'm so happy I have people in my life besides my coworkers I can talk to about this show now!

Spoiler:

I'm torn on if that was Helly or not at the end. On one hand, Helly seemed to have made peace with the plan. I feel like she would have shoved innie Mark out the door. On the other hand, doing a Helly/Helena swap again in the same season would be kinda weird.

I have similar thoughts...

Spoiler:

I'm really hoping it is purely because I don't wanna face the unlikely truth lmao. Helly R probably thought it was about time to take priority of her own life for a change, and Mark S thought the same too - without doing that, and if Mark was to leave the building, in a roundabout way, he would only be choosing to serve and be subservient to his 'Masters' again I.e the 'Death' of innis Mark S (who we were told was disposable as soon as Cold Harbour was completed alongside Mrs Casey/Gemma) and the orders of his outie self.

That's something I love about this show too, these convoluted questions about the self, and to what degree you are "you", I think thinking about all this kind of stuff has made me much more receptive to the ending we had, but in comparison to the S1 finale which blew my fucking socks off, it's not as good - but how do you reach that kind of level of "Holy shit!" After such a surprisingly brilliant debut season.

Also just want to add on that Patricia Arquette is my life, phenomenal in her role in this. So excited for her story to continue.

Patricia Arquette is so hot, and I know that's fucking lame of me or whatever but it's just true INNIT

Have you seen Lost Highway? It’s a must for Arquette fans. Not sure if you recall me shouting out thanks to Patricia (and Rosanna) Arquette at the last Inferno I attended.

You are entirely correct man.

Never, I wanted to since watching Severance and I know she was a big collaborator with David Lynch (and close friends too supposedly?), so I always thought that was really cool - but I've struggled with watching (good) films recently. Just felt a lack of a film-y mood.

How's people's excitement about the show held up now that it's been quite a while since S2 ended? I feel like I've lost faith that there will be satisfying answers to all the questions the show set up and on some level I feel like the most compelling aspects may have already been dealt with.

I'll still be tuning in for S3 as I did really enjoy the ride of S2 but I'm wondering how much longer they're gonna keep the show going and worried about how convoluted it may yet get.

S3 is definitely going to need to start providing answers instead of just more questions. I've had other people watch the series and they do like it, but many aren't sure what's going on and said they prefer to get answers.
