    It‘s similar to LOST in that it presents mystery after mystery and keeps you watching trying to make sense of it… very clever concept

    4:22 just one thing I think actually the show does make it clear at the beginning that Harmony Cobel is not a severed worker. In the first ep, she tells innie Mark that her mother was an atheist who said that "whatever humans imagine they can create" in reference to humans creating the idea of hell, and Lumon essentially creating an artificial hell for the innies. At the end of the ep she then tells outtie Mark that her mother was a catholic who used to say "it takes the saints 8 hours to bless a sleeping child". The outties' subconscious goes to sleep for 8 hours (9am-5pm) while the innies work. She's basically subconsciously justifying to outtie Mark that Lumon are saints who let him sleep like a child while his innie does the work, meanwhile inside she is tormenting innie Mark with this idea of him being stuck in Lumon's artificial hell. And neither innie or outtie Mark are able to understand her subconscious manipulation. Very sinister and cool little detail in the dialogue.

    Great video dude. What a start to a series. I am in awe of how staggeringly rich and fully drawn it is for an opening season. I would always hesitate to build up expectations to high in this world we live in though...! We've all suffered through True Detective follow up seasons and the final seasons of game of thrones (and Heroes and Lost and on and on)....

    I started watching this show because I read that the some of the inspiration came from one of my favourite games, the Stanley parable, and I definitely see it in the way they use the office spaces. There’s just something completely unsettling about these big, empty office spaces. I’m really glad I took the plunge and watched it, easily one of the best new shows of recent years.

    Only found out about the show by sheer luck because one of my favourite content creators on yt made his own cover of the intro music which in itself made me interested in what this series has to offer. Now I can say without a doubt Severance is in my top 3 shows I ever watched, sharing this spot with masterpieces such as Attack on Titan.

    In one of my first jobs induction my boss made me spend 30 minutes in front of a mirror smiling. She said I needed to cultivate my “work persona” and practice on my smiling. I remember smiling at myself in the mirror and thinking 2 things. 1)I’m not paid enough for this crap 2)So I’m supposed to become someone else… creepy Watching the characters in Severance really bought back that chilling memory of me smiling like an idiot, trying to be someone else at work.

    ​@@steveskonntentthe reason a mic would do that is because your editing software is expecting stereo but your mic is (correctly) giving a mono signal. You should easily be able to convert it to mono audio with a simple right click or dropdown menu in audacity, premiere, or whatever software you are using :)

    The production of season 2 had to be paused because of the strike with the writer's and actor's guilds. Apple TV and Ben Stiller both made a post on social media on January 29th teasing that they're back to work on the series, but nothing more precise than that has come out.

    I have some longer ones (12-14 minutes range) but I definitely hear you. As I improve at analysis and have more to say I think I’ll go longer sometimes. But with severance being one season I didn’t want to overdo it just yet. Thank you though!♥️
