Anybody watch the first two episodes released Friday? I loved it.
Also, John Tuturro and Christopher Walken??? Their conversation was delightful.

We watched the first episode last night and really loved it. Already made lots of jokes about our kids being scarred for life since they didn't have all their beds at once, and excited to try the idea of a dinner party without dinner.
We'll watch the second episode tonight.

Just finished the second episode. I loved seeing Christopher Walken but I really find all the characters very intriguing.
Definitely get a lot of Black Mirror vibes when they're at work.
It's going to be so hard always waiting a week for the next episode.

adelbert, I didn't understand at all the no-dinner dinner party. Like, is that some character-specific weirdness, or is that world-building?

I mean his sister's husband seems at the extreme end of pretentious but it didn't seem like the dinner party guests were outliers for that world.

I really hope they answer even a few questions before the end of the season. I'm so intrigued by everything but it's all so crazy. It's one of the reasons why I like the show though. The self help book always has H and I cracking up.

I binged this while we were traveling last week and it is SO good. The cast is freaking fantastic. It’s such a cool and creepy concept. I can’t wait for the finale tomorrow.

What a finale! I was so tense the whole time. Didn't look away from the TV once. I'm so so glad it's been renewed for a 2nd season!

I’m so glad the innie’s got to say something. I was worried we wouldn’t get that. So much tension!!! I loved innie mark figuring out Ricken was his brother-in-law

I was sure Helly's outie was going to be the absolute worst so that didn't surprise me but I loved how incredibly creepy they made her dad.
I find it so horrible that some of them are aware of how terrible their innies have it and don't care. I'm really interested to see the fall out of this next season.

I loved the finale. Loved it. I would have liked a few more answers but I’ll forgive them because it was so well done. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time - I spent 75% of the finale wanting to scream “hurry up and tell someone!” Lol I thought this was a good article with Ben Stiller. I like that he talks about the casting, because I think they’re all phenomenal. The actor who plays Milchick is my favorite and it’s amazing that this is his first role. www.rollingstone.com/tv/tv-features/severance-finale-ben-stiller-interview-1330692/amp/

And I also enjoyed his dance moves lol.

GAH. People. SO GOOD.
I have been thinking all weekend to myself how long it has been since I have seen a show with an interesting sci-fi ish premise that is so tightly written. Nothing is sloppy; every single detail is considered; the acting is all top notch. I honestly can't choose a favorite character, because so many of them chew up the scenery at different times.
I also find the ethical question it poses fascinating. Personhood, civil rights, agency, etc.

The lady skipping all the uncomfortable parts of her pregnancies- like WTF?! I think the thing that makes it really scary is that I absolutely know there are people in real life who would take advantage of the severance procedure in that manner- even knowing that the innies have such a terrible life.
Just the fact that they had never seen sky before was horrifying. And that dark tunnel that Gemma walked down to the elevator going down, terrifying.

The rona took out 3/4 of us last week, so my H finally started watching from the beginning and I watched with him. Halfway through the first episode, he pauses it and asks me if we are ever told why the sister, who seems reasonable, is married to such an insufferable douche. LOL Ricken.

This does bother me a little. I accept it because Ricken is so amazing as a character but I find it hard to believe that the character of the sister would want to be with him and have a child with him.

I'm late to this but holy shit that was one of the best seasons of tv I've ever watched. I'm going to be thinking about everything for months to come. Spoilers below! It's long, sorry. Someone upthread said the show was so well executed with tight writing and fantastic acting and I 100% agree. It felt like there wasn't a wasted moment. Everything was purposeful. Even though I would describe the beginning as slow-ish, it wasn't boring. The actors were ON IT. Adam Scott was fantastic. His innie and outer versions were so different, but you could still see how they could be two parts of the same person. I'm shocked that this was Milchick's first role, he was so so good. And I could rewatch that scene of him dancing over and over.
The finale was A+ tv. I was anxiety-ridden for the entire run. It went by so quickly but took forever at the same time? Idk something about the way they built the tension in the episode, amazing. I was worried that nobody would be able to tell a trusted person so it was a huge relief to see Mark get it done. Plus the fact that his sister was immediately on board, I loved that relationship. The way he said "She's alive" at the end will haunt me. That final visual of all of them returning to their outie selves!
Mark realizing Ricken is his BIL and being so in awe lmao.
Dylan holding the switches for so long to give everyone their time! I love him.
Helly saying the break room apology to herself in the mirror, woof. Goosebumps.
I don't usually notice much about the filmmaking of things, but this was a gorgeous show too. Ben Stiller did a fantastic job directing. Anyways I'm obsessed and loved this so much. I can't wait to see more.

I skipped through the thread once it seemed past where I am (ep 4) but I’m bumping this in case anyone is watching late with me. And also so I can remember to go back and read the whole thing once I’m done.

Also, I think Helly’s wardrobe is the best and I’ve been trying to channel her style WRT my own office attire 🤣
