I've only seen Season 1 so far, waiting patiently for S2 to finish airing so I can watch it at my own pace.

I personally found it a very enjoyable watch. It's quite slow moving, but in a good way where every little thing feels deliberate. It has a lot of intrigue, and I like that in a show.

A lot of the tension in Severance comes from the interaction between characters. Whole conversations happen where the surface conversation is 'ordinary' but the subtext is doing all the heavy lifting. It's a show you can't really enjoy just by watching in the background while you scroll on your phone. You will only enjoy Severance if you are the sort of person who likes to actually watch with your full attention.

On top of that, the set and prop design is brilliant, and that's just the icing on to cake that makes the show a visually interesting experience.

I've only caught bits and pieces while doing other things. But my wife loves it (hence why it's on), and the parts I've seen are really interesting. It's the kind of surreal stuff I enjoy, but it's one she started watching at my sister's house, so I missed the first few episodes. I'll watch it from the beginning somewhere down the road.

The first season was great, the second season seems a bit wishy washy mind games to me.

Similar reasons as to why Legion lost my interest.
