‘Severance’ Season 2 review: Apple TV+ hit returns darker and more twisted than ever

New York: The Apple TV+ show Severance took the streaming world by storm when it debuted in 2022. Now, with Season 2 dropping on January 17, fans are buzzing with excitement. The first season set a high bar, but the cast, including Adam Scott and Patricia Arquette, along with director Ben Stiller, has really knocked it out of the park again.

Season 2 is a wild ride. It’s unique, imaginative, and the storytelling has gotten even more intricate and bizarre, but in a good way.

So, what’s the scoop? The new season kicks off five months after the Season 1 finale. Mark, played by Scott, discovers that Lumon Industries’ “wellness counselor” is actually his late wife, Gemma. Plus, we learn that Helly is the Innie version of the Lumon heir, Helena Eagan.

We dive right back into the stark white halls of Lumon as Mark searches for answers about his wife. He’s got a new team to deal with and is worried about Helly, Dylan, and Irving.

While we can’t spill all the details, the first episode sets up a fascinating quest for truth. The lines between the Innies and Outies are blurrier than ever.

What really stands out in Season 2 is how it digs deeper into the characters. We feel more connected to them, especially Dylan and Irving, who really shine this time around. There are new characters too, from the quirky to the downright bizarre, like Gwendoline Christie’s memorable role.

Even though the season slows down a bit in some spots, the visuals are stunning. The contrast between the inside and outside of the Lumon building is just beautiful.

Overall, Season 2 takes us deeper into the characters and the operations at Lumon. It’s darker and more emotional, but it still knows how to sprinkle in humor and sarcasm at just the right moments.

So, buckle up, Severance fans! This season is sure to have you analyzing every little detail as the story unfolds.
