I hate Apple too and I thought it would be shit because it's on Apple TV but it's really good.
It's about office workers that are severed. That means they have split personalities (work and outside work) and the two people never meet. It's really interesting, actually.
It’s from apple but somehow almost completely not woke. There’s about 3 morons, one is a based middle manager, the other is a kind of cute love interest the other is a fat half moron half garden gnome side character.
Based anon with one webm total. I only have a few but I made a new one for this thread so people can see what it's like for the characters when they arrive for work.
I didn't know because I avoided their stuff just because it had the Apple logo. Turns out it's not soulless shit like I expected, which is what Disney+ shows are.
I liked it more than The Terror. I just think the characters were a lot more likeable. Even the villain is likeable. It's not like The Terror where Hickey is undeniably evil. The show even starts with a focus on Colin Farrell's character to show that he's just a man and not some comic book villain. There's a spectrum of righteousness visible in the show - from Drax to Otto. Anyway, the show is really good.
>Why is it good?

It's the interesting premise, the mystery and the comedy that make it great.
/misc/ should love the protagonist because he's an alcoholic who lost his wife so he's all alone. The show is beautiful, by the way. I didn't mention that when talking about why it's good. I took a screenshot I might use as a wallpaper (my next post).

I've been watching it too and you're right about it looking beautiful
don't know if it's the colors or the used lenses but it just feels good looking at the moving pictures be it indoor or outdoor shots
I'm glad someone agrees. I'm a person who appreciates beauty, whether it's people or the room or the setting. It's a very comfy show. Even if Mark is sitting alone in a diner, it'll look nice. Someone at Apple knows what they're doing.
If not much happens then it should look nice and you should care about the characters, and this show does that well.
Only a person who think the world is beautiful can capture it in the way that it appears in Severance. It's actually uncommon when it comes to TV shows. It's more common with movies.
I like it because it’s mostly a sci-fi mystery, and it has funny moments without being a goofy comedy show. This isn’t the best description but I said earlier in the thread it reminds me of a cross between counterpart and devs, which no one saw so that probably means nothing to you.
Only disappointment? I was expecting there to be some kind of violence and there really wasn’t much
I knew Garland was done, when I watched Annihilation. That movie was utter trash, from front to back.

I really like Annihilation even though the writing is pretty terrible. Garland at least tried to inject themes into his shit, which I respect in an era of garbage movies. The problem is he's such a retarded gay those themes are often retarded and homosexual. DEVS was such a garden gnomefest it hurt.
Mr. Milichek was based. It's almost like people don't hate black characters who are interesting and fleshed out they just hate shameless diversity hires who are ugly and can't act and are shoehorned in because they tick the right boxes.
Plus, judging by the companion booklet that Apple released, he has a brother who is a very influential journalist. Which is likely why the previous Lumen whistleblower never made it to the press.
Is my mind poisoned when I thought that the wellness check girl was going to do some weird sexual stuff right after we learn that she's actually the wife?
I don't think Mark and Helly are ugly. Dylan is fat and Irving is old, and there's Patricia Arquette. If you think they're too ugly then just don't watch. You'll be missing out but it's a fair reason.
I think it's a very silly reason because I see ugly people posted on /misc/ all day so nobody seems to care at all. People pretend to have standards but if you had standards you would have one thread open like me.
Pathos, this show wouldn’t work with 10s. Helly is hot and I don’t know that I’d buy her if she was way hotter. Would be nice to get some boobah now and then but I’m only a coomer for feet on tv shows so I don’t mind.
As for the men I’m not gay but Milchik is a put together dude. Mark is a fairly kind of good looking , and I really think if it wasn’t him you’d need a Jason Bateman type in this role. Other than Tom cruise or someone who would fit the role , a “hot” type actor wouldn’t sell the role either
there's a bit of a selection bias for the types of people who wouldn't immediately go full berserker and start gouging eyes biting off faces when they realized that literal hell was going to be all they'd ever know of life.
I resisted but I haven’t liked a show this much since counterpart. Kind of reminds me of a cross between counterpart and devs tbh although it isn’t quite that
the entire subplot with the outies finding the inane retarded shit the brother in law writes and becoming completely radicalized due to it was the funniest shit ever.
I love how much of a massive pseud Ricken is, and that despite that he comes across as so genuine and really wanting the best for his wife and brother-in-law.
Episode 7 was so groovy and I was really looking forward to it because I had seen the webms. The climax was pretty shocking and unexpected. Everyone just acts like nothing happened afterwards. The show is so strange but in a good way.
Really good show. For All Mankind and Ted Lasso are pretty quality, too. Servant started off interesting, but feels like it's just been doing the same thing for 3 seasons now.
I've only seen Severance but I'm willing to give future shows a chance if they have the potential to be good. I just assumed they'd all be bad for some reason.
Felt like a combination of office space, bioshock, and some third element that was new to me. It was a neat sci-fi with weird cult elements, but also relatable because most people hate their jobs. >smothering micro-managers wrangling their slacker employees >comedic hyperbole of companies' pushing of their bs 'core values' and 'mission statements' >when I'm at work I hate everything about my life and make oaths to change it all, when I leave I forget about them just want to drink and watch tv >all of the venom hidden behind workplace etiquette
My only problems are that his sister's husband's friends are shown to be pseudo intellectuals pretty hamfistedly in the beginning. Their lines get funnier at the end though "I have small eyes so I have to hold the book very closely to read, ok?"
I've read those and I dont think they apply that well. Maybe 1984 with its thought control and authority -imposed fake histories, what with each department being fed a tailored story of the other departments attacking them in the past, but I was thinking more of a memento element, where you're trying to communicate with a different you. But it goes past the memento element when the girl's outie treats her innie as a slave, as inhuman, and then the innie tries to hang herself in the elevator and die on the outie's time.
the subtext of the show is controlling what information the severed workers can access and the shitty self-help book and people's reactions to it is basically straight from 451.
451 doesn't apply. That book is about the masses being kept dumb and sedated, and the fading of intellectualism. Its the sentiment of 'kids these days' expanded into a novel, and frankly, not worth reading twice
you realize you've just confessed that you haven't actually read it?

it's better than average but i had to watch most of it at double speed or just skip 30 seconds at a time when nothing was obviously going to happen
tries to be too brooding sometimes which is nothing but fluff
Forgive me if this question has been asked in the thread already (I skimmed through), but would you do a Severence style work place of you were offered? I won't lie, I totally would. I'd think about like an outie >Get paid to go to work >Probably get paid well because of the controversial and secretive nature of the work >Never actually experience the work yourself (not any part of you that will remember) >The only thing you experience is the physical exhaustion after work
It would be hell for my innie, but fuck that bro
The show is great, I don't it actually is an adaption but it's exactly how adaptions of Philip K Dick stories should be. Total Recall is fun and good, but it's not a good adaption.
I also pirated the show as I do every show so apple can get fuked anyway. I'm having my cake and eating it.
Eh, I liked it. The novel itself wasn't too heavy on the 'nature of reality paranoia' like his others, and neither was the film, it was more about drug induced paranoia.
Philip K Dick's short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" was a little more than a light-hearted sci-fi joke. It was almost entirely an interview with somebody who was describing events that had happened to them in the past with an ending that was essentially a punchline. It would not have made any sense at all to try and turn it into an action movie as it stood.
Yes it's a bad thing to do what they do to people in the TV show. It's very very bad. And the bad people are very very obvious. You see that's how they do it. They describe very very bad people doing very very bad things and then they jump in and say, "And those bad people are CAPITALISTS!" and we're supposed to go, "Oh, so I guess capitalism is bad, huh?"
All you have to do is replace the Capitalists with the Chinese Communist Party or Russian Oligarchs or Evangelical Christians and then say, "Look! The Communists/Russians/Christians are baaaaad!" Now you know the secret formula for making clever plots that proves how bad the things are that you don't like.
this is one of my only real criticisms of the show, and I feel like it's more a gripe with how TV shows work in general especially in the streaming era. If I'm about to get into something and find out it isn't a limited series or somehow already concluded, I just expect it to be a long drawn out disappointment after the first season ends
Binge watched season 1 and loved it. Kinda surprised Apple made such a good show.
The only thing that kinda annoyed me was how there wasn't any kind of investigation into how the team were leaving their secure office. Like even in the real world, companies can easily tell who's security pass has opened a door. It'd be incredibly easy to put 2 and 2 together when Graner has gone missing and they have his keycard.
Unless I missed something, or they are onto their plan and want them to go ahead and do what they're currently doing as it's all part of the board's larger plan. Although Helena's dad didn't seem that smart and machiavellian
anyone else get SCP foundation vibes from this? mysterious board of directors, they dont even know what their work is for, inside they use retro technology but on the outside the technology is normal
Apple honestly has never lost its touch that much. It’s really been stigmatized because of its normie consumers, but they’ve never had to pander because they’re already deep rooted in the consumers zeitgeist. Still there has always remained subversive qualities, artsy contrarians, and hippiness in there model
Spies who fuck up get sent to a branch for worthless spies.
Gary Oldman is playing an alcoholic and slobbish George Smiley.
The branch stumbles into a white nationalist terrorist plot, but it doesn't go full wypipo bad, suprisingly.
Nah, Oldman is one of those guys who always gives 100% even when he knows he is in total shit because he loves acting and its not just a paycheck for him.
I like that his brother in law is basically Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey, but they're so deprived of information and culture down there that they think he's a genius.
Are we going to get answers to questions about Lumon or is this going to be a Lost situation? The baby goats department made me worry, though I guess it's not entirely unfeasible when working at a biomed company.
emotional states from one group are being recorded and reproduced in response to random/meaningless numbers in the MDR team, so as to reduce the number of "bugs" with severed workers.
I agree but Ialso hope that they planed out how it's supposed t ocontinue and dont fall in the old mystery box hole of having a mystery but no idea on how to solve it.
It's literally the best TV I've seen in years, and this is exactly the kind of dystopian sci fi I like on top of it. It captures the imagination. I'm literally passing out pirated flash drives of it to everyone I know lol.
well, tell me more about it?
I hate Apple too and I thought it would be shit because it's on Apple TV but it's really good.
It's about office workers that are severed. That means they have split personalities (work and outside work) and the two people never meet. It's really interesting, actually.

Actual hell. I hate outies so fucking much it's unreal.
>I hate outies so fucking much it's unreal.
Lol. It must fun to be the person who doesn't experience a second of work.
hence the need for mind control
Hehe, go count your numbers or whatever innie. I've got a liver to destroy, later nerd.
I'm going to slash your face open at 4:59.
>clean it up innie
10/10
Appletv+ makes better content then Disney + and it isnt even close.
I didn't know because I avoided their stuff just because it had the Apple logo. Turns out it's not soulless shit like I expected, which is what Disney+ shows are.
The last time I watched a show as good as Severance was pic related. I'm actually still using a wallpaper from that show because it was so good.
the finale of that was a mess
nah, its just the result of a very simple premise being over-articulated.
>humans need to kill or cage animals to survive
How does this compare to the Terror?
I liked it more than The Terror. I just think the characters were a lot more likeable. Even the villain is likeable. It's not like The Terror where Hickey is undeniably evil. The show even starts with a focus on Colin Farrell's character to show that he's just a man and not some comic book villain. There's a spectrum of righteousness visible in the show - from Drax to Otto. Anyway, the show is really good.
Why is it good? Someone told me I should watch this but did not elaborate.
>Why is it good?
I explained what the show is about here:
It's the interesting premise, the mystery and the comedy that make it great.
If you're into sci-fi mystery with a relatable depressed protagonist, you'll like it
/misc/ should love the protagonist because he's an alcoholic who lost his wife so he's all alone. The show is beautiful, by the way. I didn't mention that when talking about why it's good. I took a screenshot I might use as a wallpaper (my next post).
Look at how comfy this is. I think the show was amazing.
I upscaled the image because it didn't look good stretched.

i like anything that deals with being trapped in a world you hate with people you can't stand
I want to be trapped in a world with Helly.
I like it because it’s mostly a sci-fi mystery, and it has funny moments without being a goofy comedy show. This isn’t the best description but I said earlier in the thread it reminds me of a cross between counterpart and devs, which no one saw so that probably means nothing to you.
Only disappointment? I was expecting there to be some kind of violence and there really wasn’t much
devs would have been a 10/10 show if they had casted literally anyone else for the main role.
devs barely had enough actual content for a movie, much less ten episodes.
The second half of DEVS made me lose faith in Garland completely. What a shit show, literally.
I knew Garland was done, when I watched Annihilation. That movie was utter trash, from front to back.
I really like Annihilation even though the writing is pretty terrible. Garland at least tried to inject themes into his shit, which I respect in an era of garbage movies. The problem is he's such a retarded gay those themes are often retarded and homosexual. DEVS was such a garden gnomefest it hurt.
Helly has a big butt
not sure if big but it looks good on her
I'm glad they're not doing ass shots like on that hebophile show stargirl though
Pure KINO.
He reminds me of the boss in Peep Show tbh. 10/10 character
Mr. Milichek was based. It's almost like people don't hate black characters who are interesting and fleshed out they just hate shameless diversity hires who are ugly and can't act and are shoehorned in because they tick the right boxes.

Interested to see what happens to him in S2
I can't think of a more better scene than this, it just felt based
posting the same screens i always do
I love this show bros
That scene was just weird and I don't know why you took an image of it. I'm glad Dylan just leaves.
nice
I took it because it was weird
Was the waffle party also an opportunity for the innie to have sex with the tempers as part of the reward?
that scene was so weird I had no idea what was going on
Is my mind poisoned when I thought that the wellness check girl was going to do some weird sexual stuff right after we learn that she's actually the wife?
well, she was part of the waffle party.
Was she?
Yes, she was one of the dancers. She's probably been re-programmed into her new role when she went to the testing area
yeah, I thought she was going to come out and it was going to turn into some weird cuck party or something
she's the one in the gray haired mask
is it?
I can't tell
compare
unless they have another small-titted asian of the same size who clearly has a background in dance, its her.
I hope that season 2 will have a flashback to this scene from outie hellys perspective
Why is everyone so ugly on this show? Do I even need to look up the early life of the ~~*production*~~ staff?
>Why is everyone so ugly on this show?
I don't think Mark and Helly are ugly. Dylan is fat and Irving is old, and there's Patricia Arquette. If you think they're too ugly then just don't watch. You'll be missing out but it's a fair reason.
I think it's a very silly reason because I see ugly people posted on /misc/ all day so nobody seems to care at all. People pretend to have standards but if you had standards you would have one thread open like me.
John Turturro is pure kino, and I don't need you calling him anything but
Pathos, this show wouldn’t work with 10s. Helly is hot and I don’t know that I’d buy her if she was way hotter. Would be nice to get some boobah now and then but I’m only a coomer for feet on tv shows so I don’t mind.

i will sever you
She gets naked a bunch on altered carbon
she looks terrible on altered carbon though
have you been to an office? how many 10/10s were there?
just me
i enjoyed it overall but there were various reddity aspects to it.
the cast were reddit and soi
there's a bit of a selection bias for the types of people who wouldn't immediately go full berserker and start gouging eyes biting off faces when they realized that literal hell was going to be all they'd ever know of life.
Would it really make sense otherwise? I believe these people mind cucking themselves tbh
I resisted but I haven’t liked a show this much since counterpart. Kind of reminds me of a cross between counterpart and devs tbh although it isn’t quite that
They made a Black Mirror episode into a series
Half those ideas make better premises than 90% of most garbage on tv. It’s low hanging fruit but if it works go for it now is the time
Was this like hearing Jesus give the sermon on the mount?
>you can't unring the bell ringing app apparently
the entire subplot with the outies finding the inane retarded shit the brother in law writes and becoming completely radicalized due to it was the funniest shit ever.
its a book of feel good cliches that have become trite due to over-repetition. ya know, like the bible.
have a nice day PLEASE gay
I love how much of a massive pseud Ricken is, and that despite that he comes across as so genuine and really wanting the best for his wife and brother-in-law.
What I love is that the show is self-aware and that's why there's stuff like this.
I loved the line in the book about the word camaraderie being derived from the Latin word for camera. Ricken is a textbook midwit.
Episode 7 was so groovy and I was really looking forward to it because I had seen the webms. The climax was pretty shocking and unexpected. Everyone just acts like nothing happened afterwards. The show is so strange but in a good way.
Really good show. For All Mankind and Ted Lasso are pretty quality, too. Servant started off interesting, but feels like it's just been doing the same thing for 3 seasons now.
obvious shilling is obvious
They should shill it more while it’s still decent
Was I the only one who took most of the first episode to realize Helly wasn't played by Yvonne Strahovski?
Apple unironically makes some kino for AppleTV+
t. AppleTV content curator
I've only seen Severance but I'm willing to give future shows a chance if they have the potential to be good. I just assumed they'd all be bad for some reason.
yes
Based. Pachinko is show of the year and it's not even close
Most tv kino of 2022 is on Apple or FX. Everyone else is sleeping at the wheel
Felt like a combination of office space, bioshock, and some third element that was new to me. It was a neat sci-fi with weird cult elements, but also relatable because most people hate their jobs.

why are things like 1984 and farenheit 451 new to you?
I've read those and I dont think they apply that well. Maybe 1984 with its thought control and authority -imposed fake histories, what with each department being fed a tailored story of the other departments attacking them in the past, but I was thinking more of a memento element, where you're trying to communicate with a different you. But it goes past the memento element when the girl's outie treats her innie as a slave, as inhuman, and then the innie tries to hang herself in the elevator and die on the outie's time.
the subtext of the show is controlling what information the severed workers can access and the shitty self-help book and people's reactions to it is basically straight from 451.
451 doesn't apply. That book is about the masses being kept dumb and sedated, and the fading of intellectualism. Its the sentiment of 'kids these days' expanded into a novel, and frankly, not worth reading twice

The author himself said that the overall theme was that kids these days just watch TV and don't read books...
http://www.factfiend.com/ray-bradbury-told-interpretation-book-wrong/
yes, you haven't read it, that's perfectly clear.
yeah, I agree with that. 451 is the most underwhelming and uninteresting of the suite of required-reading dystopian novels.
its funny how making something required reading will all but guarantee a person won't understand it at all
The pseudo intellectuals are somehow less human than the fucking innies. "I found the baby, it was me, I did it all by myself!" you fucking robot
it's better than average but i had to watch most of it at double speed or just skip 30 seconds at a time when nothing was obviously going to happen
tries to be too brooding sometimes which is nothing but fluff
KINO
Can we finally agree Milchick was the best character?
>WHAT IS HIS NAME
This entire scene was fucking incredible.
>holds that position for an hour at least
what a fucking hero, i would've cramped after 10 minutes
Dylan innie does say that his outie is totally a guy who does muscle shows and his delts are off the charts. He's a hidden chad
Carried the show for me, absolutely.
Forgive me if this question has been asked in the thread already (I skimmed through), but would you do a Severence style work place of you were offered? I won't lie, I totally would. I'd think about like an outie
>Get paid to go to work
>Probably get paid well because of the controversial and secretive nature of the work
>Never actually experience the work yourself (not any part of you that will remember)
>The only thing you experience is the physical exhaustion after work
It would be hell for my innie, but fuck that bro
Why does your innie change from outtie?
this question is in every thread because shills post it.
since i know myself, i know either i or multiple people would be dead within a week of that.
Nah, you'd find out you're gay
>It would be hell for my innie, but fuck that bro
I can't tell if this is a hint of your semitism or your african roots.
I didn't want to reply because it might be a black person and he might attack me through the internet.
A mega? What? Just stream on 123movies if you don't want to torrent.
Never
I will never give a corporation the ability to control my brain
advertising already exists and you are constantly influenced by it, even if you think you arent
it would be pretty fucked up, i have to admit that working is not that bad all the time
The show is great, I don't it actually is an adaption but it's exactly how adaptions of Philip K Dick stories should be. Total Recall is fun and good, but it's not a good adaption.
I also pirated the show as I do every show so apple can get fuked anyway. I'm having my cake and eating it.
A Scanner Darkly was the only true to source adaptation of PKD's work. The others were just loosely inspired by it.
and it was boring as fuck because PKD's work is best described as paranoid fever dreams, and none of that energy was in the movie.
Eh, I liked it. The novel itself wasn't too heavy on the 'nature of reality paranoia' like his others, and neither was the film, it was more about drug induced paranoia.
Philip K Dick's short story "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" was a little more than a light-hearted sci-fi joke. It was almost entirely an interview with somebody who was describing events that had happened to them in the past with an ending that was essentially a punchline. It would not have made any sense at all to try and turn it into an action movie as it stood.

youre not special
Actually, I am
No ur a normal nobody gon remember
OK Zoomer
I'm great
who has a mega?
post more hilly
It's Helly and these aren't easy to make, dood. I need to find a good scene and everything.
>get severed so you don’t have to live through work
>wake up in office
You were slowly being fed what will eventually be fully revealed to be a very woke anti-capitalist pro-Marxist political message.
>wait, hold on, you think it would be a BAD thing for profit seeking entities to have complete control of your brain and mind? that's communism
The Eternal American.
Yes it's a bad thing to do what they do to people in the TV show. It's very very bad. And the bad people are very very obvious. You see that's how they do it. They describe very very bad people doing very very bad things and then they jump in and say, "And those bad people are CAPITALISTS!" and we're supposed to go, "Oh, so I guess capitalism is bad, huh?"
All you have to do is replace the Capitalists with the Chinese Communist Party or Russian Oligarchs or Evangelical Christians and then say, "Look! The Communists/Russians/Christians are baaaaad!" Now you know the secret formula for making clever plots that proves how bad the things are that you don't like.
any powerful entity developing mind control chips would be a bad thing.
key are you trying to be stefan molyneux
Yeah no shit. Don’t care, still kino.
>eventually be fully revealed
the entire series revolves around worker alienation you fucking retard, it's been marxist from the get go
>pointless toil is a bad thing? that's communism!
...
Karl Marx was the first and only human to criticize labor practices.
have a nice day
They should release an ost cd, so I can pirate it, like the show.
S1 ended with so much crazy shit right at the end you can tell they are going to absolutely fuck it up for s2.
this is one of my only real criticisms of the show, and I feel like it's more a gripe with how TV shows work in general especially in the streaming era. If I'm about to get into something and find out it isn't a limited series or somehow already concluded, I just expect it to be a long drawn out disappointment after the first season ends
Since this is the shill Appletv thread what are some good séries of It?
None, just Severance.
I enjoyed the Velvet Underground documentary and For All Mankind. Ted Lasso isn't bad.
eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww
sexo
that's great. love that for her. and for me too
its not really the size that's sad, but the shape. they look defeated.
Had no idea there was already a thread.
Binge watched season 1 and loved it. Kinda surprised Apple made such a good show.
The only thing that kinda annoyed me was how there wasn't any kind of investigation into how the team were leaving their secure office. Like even in the real world, companies can easily tell who's security pass has opened a door. It'd be incredibly easy to put 2 and 2 together when Graner has gone missing and they have his keycard.
Unless I missed something, or they are onto their plan and want them to go ahead and do what they're currently doing as it's all part of the board's larger plan. Although Helena's dad didn't seem that smart and machiavellian
There's a throwaway line about Granters keycard not being tracked. I don't know why, probably just hack writing, but at least they addressed it.
Ah right, yeah pretty hand wavey writing but i'm glad at least there's a reason given
anyone got the webm of Mikchek running through the halls
I don't know what webm you mean but I made this.
This is an obvious shill thread but the show is really pretty good. GAY gay moron CLIFFHANGER at the end of season 1, but otherwise pretty good.
anyone else get SCP foundation vibes from this? mysterious board of directors, they dont even know what their work is for, inside they use retro technology but on the outside the technology is normal
I played Control recently and the board thing reminded me of that a lot. But I guess control pulls a lot of inspiration from SCP
I really hope this doesn't go Westworld and fall off a cliff. Most interested i've been in a show since early Lost
hellave red story? wtf is that
Apple honestly has never lost its touch that much. It’s really been stigmatized because of its normie consumers, but they’ve never had to pander because they’re already deep rooted in the consumers zeitgeist. Still there has always remained subversive qualities, artsy contrarians, and hippiness in there model
thanks for chiming in, apple marketing department.
Actual Apple kino nobody watched
It was pretty fun, looking forward to Series 2.
Hopefully shouldn't be too far off since it looks like it was filmed at the same time as Series 1.
what's it about
Spies who fuck up get sent to a branch for worthless spies.
Gary Oldman is playing an alcoholic and slobbish George Smiley.
The branch stumbles into a white nationalist terrorist plot, but it doesn't go full wypipo bad, suprisingly.
alright, I'll give it a shot.
is Gary oldman enjoyable as usual?
I suppose with that description he must be
Best character by far, shits on the useless fuckers assigned to him constantly.
the whole atmosphere is dirty as hell thus far.
one can tell Oldman is enjoying telling everyone to fuck off
has oldman ever actually been bad in anything?
I know he's appeared in some pretty suspect movies but his characters are always great.
Nah, Oldman is one of those guys who always gives 100% even when he knows he is in total shit because he loves acting and its not just a paycheck for him.
Watched it all in one sitting. Real good. I want more. I wasn't sure about it because the guy from parks and recs lol
I fucking love mystery boxes!!!
I like that his brother in law is basically Deep Thoughts with Jack Handey, but they're so deprived of information and culture down there that they think he's a genius.
Are we going to get answers to questions about Lumon or is this going to be a Lost situation? The baby goats department made me worry, though I guess it's not entirely unfeasible when working at a biomed company.
emotional states from one group are being recorded and reproduced in response to random/meaningless numbers in the MDR team, so as to reduce the number of "bugs" with severed workers.
>Learn about severance
>Never have to know I'm at work again? Hell yeah, I'll do it
>Get put under for the surgery
>Wake up at your desk
I agree but Ialso hope that they planed out how it's supposed t ocontinue and dont fall in the old mystery box hole of having a mystery but no idea on how to solve it.
It's literally the best TV I've seen in years, and this is exactly the kind of dystopian sci fi I like on top of it. It captures the imagination. I'm literally passing out pirated flash drives of it to everyone I know lol.
