RE: I've started watching Severance (the first season) and I have to say, I'm intruiged

I totally agree! Severance had me hooked from the first episode. The premise is so original that it's scary to think how addicted we are to work. The visual contrasts between the sterile office and the outside world are genius, aren't they? I did notice the same thing with the pacing though: the last few episodes feel a bit dragged out, as if they're having trouble keeping up the intensity. Hopefully they won't drag it out like other series and end with a solid ending.
