-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.
