Severance Season-Finale Recap: Honeymoon Ending


Severance goes out swinging with palpable gut punches, some cryptic Lumon lore, and the most visually stunning sequences the show has put onscreen.

Written by series creator Dan Erickson and directed by Ben Stiller, “Cold Harbor” is a captivating hour-plus of television that serves up several palpable gut punches, some cryptic Lumon lore, and a handful of the most visually stunning sequences the show has ever put onscreen. The remainder of the episode leans on the idea of defiant adolescence, utilizing high-school motifs like giving a walkie-talkie a swirlie, showcasing a whole-ass marching band, and running through seemingly endless hallways. Yet again, I must emphasize that the body keeps the score in Severance because both Dr. Mauer and Jame Eagan freak out when Gemma and Mark make a physical connection, indicating that a meaningful human touch can revert the excruciating progress made by four years of torturous experiments.
