What to Know

Critics Consensus

Masterfully managing its two halves of adroit character study and surreal nightmare, Severance's long-awaited sophomore season makes cognitive dissonance a mind-melting pleasure.

Melanie McFarland Salon.com Severance amplifies its intrigue without falling into the second-season trap of making key enigmas inscrutable or boring, a trap too many puzzle-box shows tumble into when challenged to top their triumphant first seasons. Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Lucy Mangan Guardian The first series was fantastically stylish, clever, trippy and compelling. The second is even more so. It demands all your concentration and takes you down rabbit holes so deep and twisted that you may meet yourself coming back. Rated: 5/5 Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Eric Deggans NPR If you can suspend disbelief appropriately, Severance's odd storytelling touches keep the characters -- and viewers -- off balance, deepening the mysteries at the show's core. Jan 17, 2025 Full Review Aglaia Berlutti Hipertextual With further exploration of the world it poses, one of Apple TV+'s most successful series returns with a new season that is much better than the last. [Full Review in Spanish] Rated: A+ Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Rohan Naahar The Indian Express Severance is perhaps the most affecting piece of science-fiction storytelling since Mark Romanek’s adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s Never Let Me Go. Jan 18, 2025 Full Review Diego Batlle Otroscines.com ...the Severance creative team upped the ante, as they enhance, amplify and deepen all the visual, narrative and thematic aspects that made this series a rarity, a decidedly unique approach back in 2022.

Benny C What a great start to the season. The best show on TV. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Alain B First episode put us back rapidly into context. Some scene ambiance made me laugh ! SPOILER----> The little girl in meeting! haha! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Alexander R Episod 1 is weak, Milchick says, that 3 of the characters don't want to return, and they return at the next day actualy. No motivation to return for 3 of 4 characters, it's just feels forced and unexplained. Hope it would be better in next episodes. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Cory W This is always the first show I recommend to people. It's a perfect execution of a brilliant premise. The plot is equally thrilling and thought-provoking. It's artsy and serious, but there are also moments of levity that provide a nice balance. It's so compelling it made the hours fly by as if I went to work on the severed floor myself. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Zack H Holy... This show is absolutely amazing. It's like a mix of From and Lost but 20x more cohesive with a clear focused vision and plot. Every episode pushed the plot forward and there are no boring scenes. Will keep you on the edge as the mystery of Lumon unfolds. One of my top 5 shows of all time. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/20/25 Full Review Austin C This is my favorite show on TV right now. Season 1 was a masterpiece and the first episode of Season 2 kept it going like we never left. You owe it to yourself to check this show out.
