Severance

Severance is one of the smartest, most unsettling, and most meticulously crafted series in years. I rated it 9 out of 10 only because the middle stretch eases off the gas a bit, but the overall impact is undeniable.

The concept alone is brilliant. Splitting your mind between work and personal life sounds clean and harmless until the show slowly reveals how disturbing that idea really is. Every episode builds tension with precision. The mystery unfolds at a pace that keeps you constantly thinking, constantly questioning, constantly uneasy.

The visual style is a knockout. The sterile office spaces, the minimalist production design, the bizarre corporate architecture all create a world that feels familiar and completely alien at the same time. Cinematography is sharp, controlled, and loaded with meaning. Nothing is shot without intention.

The sound design and score amplify everything. Cold, distant, unnerving. It sets a mood that never lets you relax. Performances are exceptional across the board. Adam Scott delivers his career-best work, and the supporting cast elevates every scene. There is not a weak link.

Severance is tense, clever, stylish, and genuinely original. When the final episodes hit, they hit hard. It is the kind of show that stays with you long after the credits roll and makes you think about your own life more than you expect.

One of the best series of the decade.

After watching two seasons of Severance, one thought stuck in my mind - there is something familiar about this. Many years ago, I was hooked on a TV show named Lost. Back then, those breaks between episodes left me confused and hungry, and each new-season release was a Christmas. Episodes felt like falling dominoes, piling mystery on mystery.

As I kept watching Severance, I realized it plays a different game than Lost ever did. Lost thrived on chaos - a glorious, intoxicating mess of riddles stacked on riddles. Severance, on the other hand, is almost surgical. Every scene feels measured, every shot carries intention, and every silence is louder than shouting. It's not trying to overwhelm you; it's trying to get inside your head.

What impressed me most is how the show weaponizes mundanity. A corporate hallway, a wellness session, a waffle party - everything looks harmless until it suddenly isn't. The world of Lumon is built on tiny, carefully controlled details, and the more we learn, the more wrong everything feels. It's like being trapped inside an IKEA catalog curated by Kafka.

It may sound ridiculous, but the last thing I want is for Severance to repeat the fate of Lost. That ending broke the hearts of many fans around the world, and the reasons are irrelevant. The world of Severance is a fascinating creation. Yet there's beauty in knowing when to stop, and it is better to leave the audience puzzled rather than frustrated.

Severance is every bit as good as everyone says it is. All you have to do is read through the reviews from both critics and the audience to see how much people think of this series. It's on every "best of shows of the year" list out there and has been nominated for a ton of awards for a reason. Adam Scott leads an amazing cast who all do a fantastic job. It's just such an original show that will keep you wanting more. The first episode may start a little slow for some but stick with it because I promise that you won't regret it. If you stay with it I guarantee it will become one of your favorite shows of the year. The only negative is waiting so long between seasons, but I guess it's better they do it right than rush it out there and be disappointed. I can't wait to see where this show goes next.

I can't even describe the show. It's unlike anything I have ever seen.

Remember that feeling you had after watching The Truman Show or The Sixth Sense for the very first time? The feeling that you had experienced something unique? It's the exact same sensation Severance gave me. It's odd, it's smart, it's fresh and I loved every single minute of it. It's the best writing and acting I have seen in years.

Every episode makes you hungry for the next one, and the next one, and... well, you get the point. All I can say is, stop scrolling through these reviews and go watch it, because you're in for a treat.

Never seen anything like it, it's a must watch.

If you wanna to be late for work because you can't stop watching a series this is the series.

If you're feeling down and wanna escape for some time this is it.

The cinematography is inspirational, the acting is amazing, the music is spot on.

10/10 It's perfect.
