The film-o'graphy was clever at times, aggravating at others. Some of the scenes were quite good; just about every viewer will enjoy the awkward office retreat (winky face) or the homosexual love triangle discussing their unprotected lust-acts (goats NOT involved) over a delicious meal. Impeccable cinema for an otherwise dry spell of a season. Speaking of which, it's also impossible to overlook how this is The Episode where the writers finally decide to lift their foot off of the brake pedal, allowing the plot to inch forward a bit after half a season of the universe calmly waiting at a near-perfect standstill, with only minor character development to make up for the fact.

These characters, however and regardless of personal development, have had their behaviors growing increasingly silly to fit into whatever holes the plot provides, as if it was written the wrong way around. Everyone in the universe-innie and outie-has been growing increasingly clueless and irrational since the beginning of the season. Very distracting!

This episode is, at least for now, my favorite of the season. It delivers satisfying answers and resolutions to many of the conflicts and mysteries from earlier episodes, weaving together multiple character arcs seamlessly. On top of that, it's genuinely funny and entertaining.

A special shoutout to the actor portraying Helena/Helly R-her performance is nothing short of incredible. She effortlessly makes us feel completely different emotions depending on which character she's embodying. It's as if she's playing two entirely separate people, yet there's an underlying thread that connects them in a way that feels seamless and deeply authentic.

Every time the scene transitioned, I found myself hoping there was still plenty of time left before the credits rolled, the pacing was PERFECT.

For me, it stands above the rest of the season, even ep 4!

Severance is already on my Top 5 List for best TV shows of the last decade. Season one put it there. So far season two has done what many other TV shows fail to do - extend and expand the story in compelling ways that feel necessary. And here in season two episode 6 it does what the greatest TV shows do - it transcends. Particularly in the restaurant scene between Mark and Helena. It's a scene so intense, so rich with layers of meaning, and yet almost nothing happens on the surface. I was spellbound. A TV show earns this kind of transcendence. The story works and works to build to a moment like this. And severance has many of them. What a brilliant show brimming with talent. Such a perfect blend of mystery, fantasy, satire and aesthetic. Bravo to all involved. I can't wait for what's next.

This episode was incredible! A big step up from last week's where not much happened. Here we're finally learning more about Mark's reintegration and getting more hints about certain mysteries and relationships. The shots, editing, acting are all on point and the dialogue is so beautifully written.

I just hope that the writers will tie up all the loose ends and mysteries by the end of the season, because there is an insane amount of questions and I'd like to see at least some of them answered. Specifically the black hallway; we keep getting hints that are being followed up on at an extremely slow pace.

Otherwise this was an extremely satisfying episode to watch which somehow gets me even more excited for where this season is headed!

Thematically the strongest episode in the season yet. Mark's procedure comes full circle, and it leaves me wanting more and more. The dinner scene was some of the strongest dialogue in the show yet. Exploring the themes of what it's like to be an innie and the consequences of what happens on the outside world while the other severed part remains the best explored part of the show so far. I really loved the score, and many of the scenes succeeded in a great nail biting fashion. I'm eager for more, and this is shaping up to be one of the better seasons of television. It's brilliant and I'm here for it.
