Readers, I'm using my privilege as the arbiter of the Open Thread to divulge a media-consumption fact about myself: I’m terribly obsessed with Severance.
I ignored it for years; it suffered from its proximity to Succession (which I despised, and dumped after 3 episodes) and, knowing nothing about Severance’s plot, I had no reason to investigate it.
Had I only known that it’s a gut-wrenching sci-fi thriller about work and power! I might have tuned in earlier.
In retrospect, I was lucky in my waiting: I streamed the entire first season just before Season 2 aired, so that I didn’t have to suffer the devastating “SHE’S ALIVE!” lag time between the first and second season.
