At what point does this dogshit boring ass show get good? Literally everyone raves about how good it is. It has a NINETY-SEVEN PER-CENT ON ROTTEN TOMATOES. Yet it's boring as FRICK to me. I'm about 25 minutes into episode one.

At season 1, episode 1, scene 1, hour 0, minute 0, second 1. It hasn't gotten bad yet
Is second 0 bad? Should I just skip it?

Take your government prescribed methamphetamines
I've actually taken three adderall today, one more than prescribed. It's still not caught my attention. Do I really need to overdose on amphetamines to get into this shit show?
>I'm about 25 minutes into episode one.
i'm sorry but your attention span is too fried by social media for this show
You'll understand it when you have your first big boy job, anon
There was just a comment about "work-life balance" that sounded like it was supposed to be an inside joke, and then the girl threw something at the le funny man, but I don't know what the frick is going on and my attention is divided between this boring show and this thread.
Okay, I just learned why the show is called "Severance." Something about worklife and homelife having different memories. How the frick did they make a 9-10 episode show based on this weird premise?
>I'm about 25 minutes into episode one.
Then why tf are you already complaining? Do you complain about a meal after tasting the appetizer?
When the appetizer tastes like bland, dry cement, I'm going to complain to the chef.
Sir you're eating the tablecloth. The food will be out shortly

What a great loss for the board. Somebody think of the homosexuals.
What was this called in the show? It's been like 1+ years since I watched this. There's a specific name for this dance thingy they do
Dance Party was a reward perk for high productivity results with the job, but other than that I don't know if it was anything special.
>The show is about office workers who work their seemingly mundane jobs and follow mundane routines,
Complete miss; the first episode almost immediately introduces the strange phenomena that shows why it is not a usual mundane job. But everyone involved with it has or had their own reasons to participate and be there voluntary there is a mix of motives due to the phenomena that each character interacts with differently. The outside world, while they don't know exactly what it entails is aware of it being a special circumstance that is unique and accept it.
>but there's a creeping atmosphere and small reveals that hint that something is wrong. The corporation is probably secretly evil or something.
Yeah somewhat but the nature of the conflicts are more individual existential and identity based, while there is some general "evil corporation bad" theme it isn't quite the broadstroke you posit.
I get criticisms for it, I thought they handled Arquette's character horribly, and the season 1 finale was lame, and the whole series does seem to be mystery box bait that will not pay out. The severed scenes and the aesthetics at the workplace are interesting and entertaining though.
MDE: Music dance experience
I like all sorts of critically acclaimed shows. I've watched (and loved) Mad Men, Breaking Bad, Sopranos, The Wire, Carnivale, Rome, Deadwood, Shogun, Fallout, etc. There hasn't been a single critically acclaimed show I've disliked, because probably in part the critical acclaim adds "taste" to the show. But I'm seeing no redeeming qualities to this show other than some mild hints at "work = bad," which isn't anywhere close to being able to carry a show for a full season. There's about ten minutes left of episode one, and there is NO "catch," nothing to keep me coming for more, other than MAYBE the critical acclaim.
The standard is to watch 3 episodes before b***hing about it.
I don't play by the rules.
Well, I finished episode one. I don't think I'll be back for more. The "hook" was awful.
Is this the most exciting thing that happens in the show? ugh..
>exciting
it's a thinking mans show, there are things that make it exciting but action is not one of them
>Op to this thread 10 seconds into a show he can’t relate to
Its no surprise to find a show this empty and hollow when they took a single black mirror episode and try to make an entire season out of it
>black mirror is the only novel sci-fi in all of media
Read a book. This is much more heavily influenced by Greg Egan.
Watch Corner Office starring Jon Hamm and Sarah Gadon. It's the best recent office kino, and its by an Oscar winning director.
Yeah, really enjoyed and gets better with repeat viewing.
Severance feels like a mossad psyop.
I thought this didn't have enough ideas for a full length film.

>AHHHHH A COMFY OFFICE JOB WHERE YOU FRICK AROUND FOR 8 HOURS A DAY IS SO AWFUL I NOW WANT A BACKBREAKING CONSTRUCTION JOB WITH LOWER PAY
Gen Xers really do be like that
The show suffered from a disturbing lack of naked Patty Arquette.
It doesn't. It's fricking trash and full of unironic homosexuals. Also ends on a gigantic cliffhanger LMFAO
Season 2 doko
It's ok, you don't have to watch it if you don't like it, go watch something else
Not everything's gonna de catered specifically for you
I bailed on it when it was obvious there were zero stakes. The main characters constantly break the 'rules' and frick all happens other than the c**ty blonde says they can't do that stuff or there will be consequences. I'm convinced the only people who defend it are the idiots who didn't bail and now they try and convince others to waste their time on it as well. That's why nobody ever says WHY it's good.
It's got a few good qualities that make it kino
>slow pace and build up
>curious central mystery (which they haven't fricked up yet, but it's only the first season; it took L O S T 3 seasons to frick theirs up)
>fairly sympathetic characters
>humorous dialogue without leaning too far into comedy or trying too hard
>believable depictions of emotional struggles

go back to your video games now
I haven't watched the show, but let me guess. The show is about office workers who work their seemingly mundane jobs and follow mundane routines, but there's a creeping atmosphere and small reveals that hint that something is wrong. The corporation is probably secretly evil or something. Insert commentary about capitalist alienation or future being a corporate ruled dystopia or something like that.
kinda yes but also no
world is just like our world but the people that work at this specific company go through "severence" where it's your body but it's not your consciousness
you go to work and bam 8 hours later it's like you instantly skipped all that time and you go back to your life
when they're working they are like a different person that doesn't know about their real life and the real life people don't know shit about what happens at the job
these people choose to go to this job they aren't forced to go
I don't want to spoil shit for you about the people that work there but yes evil corporation secrets stuff that Cinemaphile gets so mad at
>muh billionaire corporations good
>no not those that put troonys in mah tv shows
>The show is about office workers who work their seemingly mundane jobs and follow mundane routines, but there's a creeping atmosphere and small reveals that hint that something is wrong.
I expected something like that, but it's not that at all.
It's made clear from the very start that this "workplace" is highly exceptional and would be unacceptable to society if exposed. The wagies signed up for a top secret job where their in-office selves are made unaware of the outside world, hence cannot leak secret information to the outside world.
The purpose of the mundane tasks they perform are never explained to them, and all they know is a non-stop cycle of 9-5, not knowing where their true identity lives or sleeps. So the in-office personas are in a runaway existential crisis, struggling for answers to their purgatory existence.
No.
>At what point does this dogshit boring ass show get good?
It doesn't. The whole show is built around that premise, which is really good - but the writers didn't know what to do with it.
Some interesting shit happens in the final episode but then it ends of a cliffhanger, and there's no guarantee it will ever pay off.
>I'm about 25 minutes into episode one.
Oh You're a fricking idiot and i wasted my time sincereposting.
Just only watch the ben stiller episodes, the middle episodes are filler trash done by a moronic woman
What even happens in this besides le whacky dancing
Something exciting and flashy has to happen in the first 25 minutes to keep you entertained, huh. Expected some epic explosions and hulk smashes like in your capeshit movies? Fricking moron
bro just admitted to how hard he got filtered
its mediocre and Cinemaphile zoomers have a boner for it because they have poor taste
never.
don't listen to them.
the plotter of this show is a israeli lesbian.
her secret fantasy, writing Arcane, was to gaslight interracial porn into it. luckily, she faced opposition, and lamentably failed at it.
The lesbian lady from your picture was the main writer behind Arcane and she's an executive or something for Severance as well. The only reason I've seen the show in OP was because I've tried to look what else she did as I think her writing in Arcane is decent and it's not her fault they did the show dirty with moronic fighting scenes that are dumb and unrealistic. First fight of Vi was very good for some reason but it's diluted in a sea of shit.
I watched the first episode and it was garbage.
Will season 2 ever get released?
Fall 2026, hopefully.
it starts out good but gets bad
First 3 episodes are good, then it drags
This show will be good as long as they keep producing new mysterys and new wtf moments. As soon as they start wrapping it up and try to write an ending it will turn to shit. Basically soft core version of Lost.
I loved that show.
The show promotes homosexuality and presents as realistic and not pure fiction the idea that you're born homosexual and every fiber of your being is gay.
Other that that it was decent.
>I hate popular thing
very interesting
