 [^fn:1]: I still remember how bored I was when I watched _Iron Man 3_.
     The last decade of the movie runtime was filled with a non-stop battle.
     The movie stopped and all was left was CGI.

+Oh how I love SciFi without action scenes!
+Sevarance is a story based on a great premise: an all powerful company is able to sever a person into two.
+One gets to live outside the company clock; the other only in the office.
+Both share the same body, but are completely different and have their memories separated.

+Apple tried to position itself in a small niche of the wider streaming service pool.
+When Netflix and others produce one mediocre show after another, Apple is much slower and (seems to) focus on quality.
+It allows itself riskier productions.
+
+_Severance_ plays very much like an independent movie.
+It's minimal in presentation, I would even call it _cold_ as everything serves a goal.
+Most of the show happens either in a soulless office building, or in a few semi-empty locations.
+Somehow, for the first few episodes I had strong reminiscence of Shane Carruth's works.
+Those have close to nothing in common with _Severance_, but the feeling was there.
+And I love Curroths's works!
+
+The plot develops slowly and in an interesting way, everything points towards a great SciFi.
+I was heavily invested in the plot, wanting to know what was hidden underneath.
+
+Unfortunately, it's a typical modern TV series.
+Its runtime is expanded thin, we've got romance and unnecessary threads.
+Remember when they made three huge movies out of Hobbit?
+Yeah, it's the same here.
+What would have been an _amazing_ movie is a _good_ TV show.
+
+It's stretched _almost_ into a self-parody.
+They tried to have a mass appeal and with it, they lessen the story significantly.
+I think they had material for 2 hours movie, maybe a miniseries.
+But for multiple seasons?
+I sure hope to be wrong, but it seems that it will the same as it was with _Westworld_.
+Great start, but it's all downhill from here.
+
+The biggest offender here is the last episode which serves only the second season.
+Such high-addrenaline scene had no place in _this_ story.
+But hey, let's make people remember about that season 2 that we will make someday.
+
+For me _Severance_ is a perfect example of current TV drama state.
+You can clearly see that it was made with passion, it could have been great.
+But screw that, let's have it for four years.
+Fill her up, please.
+
+It's very good as a TV show nevertheless.
