‘Severance’ Season 2 Is Surreal, Stylish and Worth the Wait: TV Review
Season 2 of the hit Apple TV+ drama 'Severance', starring Adam Scott and largely directed by Ben Stiller, is surreal, stylish and worth the wait.
The spoiler list approaches “Mad Men” levels of obfuscation; for example, I can’t even say how much time has elapsed between the innies’ infiltration of the real world, giving them a peek into their outies’ lives, and their return to their natural habitat. This time, we see more of Helena Eagan at the peak of her malevolent powers, and the outie version of Irving (John Turturro) sort through the aftermath of a star-crossed affair (between his innie and Christopher Walken’s once-severed, now-retired Burt) he can’t recall. Erickson, Stiller and production designer Jeremy Hindle have a knack for building setups that riff on corporations’ uncanny, infantilizing methods of control, yet feel more oblique and mysterious than straight satire.
