Trojan's Horse

I just can not believe how season 2 could be more ridiculous. It gets more apparent that the whole project is all just a 90min script. Since a 10 episode serial would be more profitable than a 90 min movie, you have to watch it slowly and slowly for weeks until the end. Bravo! Each episode raises the same question disguised in slightly different questions. The script and dialogues are so boring that they cover it up all with a good cinematography. I have to give it to the cinematographer. He or she has all the job on him or her. This serial is the new "Lost". I have no doubt that There will be no solid final to it.

Mumbo No.5 from brick No. 2. After five dimension nonsense we are back to indoor activities, confusion and more confusion. Nothing makes sense as before. The flow is lighting bright and horrible as lit tunnels.

And finally, ecstatic viewers are back in this filler-tasty episode for Huang my weird favorite.

I would love to get re-acquainted with Gemma the hologram wife.

First of all, I want to mention the cinematography. It is absolutely astounding and even if the content of the show was utter garbage, I would marvel at the visuals.

Thankfully, the content of the show is brilliant.

The dialogue, mannerisms and motivations of each character is so unique and nuanced, ensuring that each character is so fully fleshed out that they could each have their own spin-off show.

In this episode, the interactions between different characters, especially with the concept of inside and outside, makes every conversation enthralling.

Another reason why this episode is so beautifully written is that it reveals answers to previous questions through shocking revelations, but simultaneously creates new questions that are arguably more thrilling, meaning that the show doesn't overplay its hand or lose momentum after a revelation.

In this way, as as mentioned before, you are constantly analysing each conversation for clues that could provide answers to future questions that might arise.

I made the brave call of calling Season 1 of Severance one of the best first seasons in my TV history, but Season 2 is turning out to be even stronger.

British Reviewer.

A different writer, a different director per episode it shows. We seem to have waited a long time for the second season of Severance. So much so, that I've largely forgotten what happened in the first season but despite this I'm still finding the experience of watching this season really rudderless.

My overriding memory of the first season is that I found it a bit dull until the last episode and then was wowed. Wowed and eager to watch the next season. Yet, I'm finding the chopping and changing of writer/director per episode isn't working for the continuity. None so more than Trojan Horse which felt a lot like filler. Especially after the excitement of the previous episode.

I'm beginning to wonder if there's an actual shortage of ideas behind Severance and it's actually a lot of hot air being given the big sell - which is perfectly ironical really for the corporate culture the show is supposedly lampooning.

This season is on an absolute roll. It just keeps going episode after episode, and its building up to being one of the best tv shows ever.

John Turturro (the goat) obviously gave us a masterclass in acting last episode. And Britt Lower is quickly becoming one of my favorite actresses, I mean the facial expressions in these last 2 episodes are something Else. An emmy award is surely coming her way.

The Production of this season have also somehow been elevated to new heights.

Kudos to everyone working on this show.

-5 episodes in and 5 episodes to go- Cant Wait to see where this intense season will take us!

Absolute Cinema!
