A little while back, I got the chance to write 8,000 words worth of a recap of a television show that tackled corporate greed, the liminality of living in a cold, small town, and the most complicated love square known to man, all while being gorgeously lit and creatively shot. But now that Riverdale has gone on to the great Chock’lit Shoppe in the sky, I need to get my fix of those things somewhere else.
Enter Season Two of Severance, which has, so far, met and far exceeded the (incredibly high) expectations that Season One set. If you’re obsessively poring over details from previous episodes to theorize, if you’ve severed yourself between weekly drops and need a refresher on what happened last Thursday night, or if you’re just a curious outside observer, I hope my Severance recaps satiate you. This show is mysterious and important, and I’m so excited to be breaking it down.
