IMHO Severance is the most inspirational TV since Twin Peaks. It’s a real work of art. A masterpiece.
It’s the only reason I signed up to Apple TV+. I looked for other shows on there, but cancelled not long after.
- glial 4y agoI haven't watched Severance (yet...yours is quite an endorsement!) but I have been enjoying For All Mankind.
- louthy 4y ago> yours is quite an endorsement! And I’m massively underselling it :)
- tfandango 4y agoI agree. Of all the TV I've watched in recent memory, I continue to think about Severance all the time. To think I only watched it because of the Parks n' Rec guy!
- ghaff 4y agoI really liked Severance. Though I loved For All Mankind. In a different vein. Ted Lasso and The Morning Show. Couldn't get into Foundation though. Not terrible but meh. May try again at some point.
- Anthony-G 4y agoI haven’t (yet) watched Twin Peaks but I’d wholeheartedly concur with that endorsement. For quality / episode ratio, I’d put it up there with the first four seasons of the Wire (10/10). The first episode of Severance is quite slow with regards to plot but still visually compelling. The cinematography, music and character building stay consistently excellent throughout the series but the drama and tension increasingly ramp up so much that my wife and I were on the edge of our seats for the last few episodes. It was so good that I intend to re-watch Season One before watching Season Two (I’m guessing that there will be follow-up) comes out. My wife and I both really enjoyed the first two seasons of For All Mankind. She generally dislikes science fiction and anything to do with space but was soon won over by the human element and the great characters. However, we both felt that the quality of the show (particularly the writing) fell hard with the third season. We both also thought that Shining Girls was an excellent mini-series and have Slow Horses lined up to watch next.
- 2wrist 4y agoSlow Horses too, that's ace. Mythic Quest has been a surprisingly good watch with some proper brilliant moments. Jason the Mammal in See is pretty good.
- herbstein 4y ago> Slow Horses too S02E04 that came out today (Friday) had me uttering "He's so fucking good" out loud, despite being alone in the apartment. About Gary Oldman, that is. The way he hates absolutely everyone and cares about nothing, while showing that he deeply cares about his employees/Joes and justice. It's all there in the writing too, of course. There's just something about the way Gary Oldman portrays it that gives it an extra layer of authenticity. The man can act.
- drcongo 4y agoHard agree, and I'd have used the same example and wording too. Severance validates TV as an art form.
- robbiep 4y agoFor all mankind.
