Severance - So. Goddamn. Slow. Every scene was slow. The lines were delivered slowly. From all the characters. Always. And somehow even the action scenes are slow?? Like when dude is in the hallway loop, that whole scene dragged on for way too long. I couldn't get past the second episode. Ain't nobody got time for that.
The creeping inertia is part of it. All good if not your thing, but that pacing is very much on purpose
You can say that, and maybe it is true for the better season 1, but season 2 has the unshakable feeling of real life considerations affecting the art by having to stretch out the story.
Man, I want my time back from watching season one.
That was exactly what I liked about it. My primary complaint about season 2 is that it's faster paced. But if the pacing's not your style then season 2 would not be worth the grind.
I was completely hooked until a major moment in season 2 that felt like it was going to turbo charge the story, but then the follow up episodes were just lots of doing nothing with it.
