It Was Worth the Wait
Severance season two delivers answers. But its greatest pleasure is returning to this world and finding it still exists.
Viewers who want answers — who long for definitive, clear-cut explanations, for explicit expositional lore drops and puzzle-box plotting — will be pleased, and disappointed, and then intrigued, and very likely flummoxed, on and off throughout the season’s run. There’s very little coy footsie business with flashbacks or brand-new characters designed to withhold the stuff viewers actually want to see, and the story moves briskly, even when it’s intercut with a static scene of someone standing outside in the cold, waiting or contemplating or fretting or deciding something. But that episodic structure also means some of the season’s wobblier bits tend to clump toward the later half, where standalone-ish installments don’t always nail the balance of character development and plot momentum.
