I'm usually very critical of sitcoms but this one was so funny! The premise is very fresh, and the chemistry between the cast members felt realistic and not forced like pilot seasons of sitcoms normally are. I loved all the characters, especially Anton and Paul Baker! They all are very unique and mesh together well. I'm not sure why this has low reviews it's genuinely a great show and had me screaming at the last episode. I would highly recommend this to anyone who likes shows like How I Met Your Mother or New Girl. I really hope this doesn't get cancelled like every other sitcom in the last decade.

The people leaving bad reviews are just impatient and only watching the show to get answers to the overarching mystery but there is much more to this show than that.

I would say it's less like a mystery show and more like an episode of Black Mirror in that the point of the show is to illustrate the disturbing and far reaching consequences of technology that initially was meant to advance society. Is there an intriguing mystery behind the whole thing? Yes for sure, and there is some level of frustration waiting for answers especially since the series only really just started, but the real value of the show is watching the characters navigate the dystopian world that undergoing the severance procedure creates.

In my opinion everything about this show is phenomenal. The acting is incredible, the cinematography is stunning and contains deeper meaning within itself, the show is funny and sad and scary all at the same time, it's unpredictable and keeps you on the edge of your seat dying for the next episode. Severance is definitely up there with the greats and it would be a mistake not to watch it because a few bad reviewers are mad that the entire mystery hasn't been tied up neatly in a bow yet after a season and a half.

I can't imagine a more perfect casting for Wednesday. The plot is a little hard to follow and people expecting this to be an Addams Family reboot will not be happy, but the show stands on its own. It's enjoyable and unique and definitely worth the watch if only for Ortega's performance. The cinematography is beautiful as well, everything is catered around Wednesday, so she stands out in every scene, even in a school full of "outcasts". I especially enjoyed the juxtaposition between Wednesday and her bubbly roommate. People who enjoyed Charlie and The Chocolate Factory and Series of Unfortunate Events will love this show.
