Didn't really like S2E8. These last 2 episodes have felt to artsy for me. I never liked Lost in Translation or Birdcage either. These episodes have had so much cinematography and really long, uncomfortable and awkward stares with extended silence.
Definitely feels like all tone, no substance…. I get why shows do this but hate when shows try to go back and fill in story elements that would have been better served in season 1. However…. The problem is, you put episodes like that in season 1, you’ll lose what made season 1 good. It’s a catch 22….

I don't think you want to reveal that stuff too early so it belongs in S2. It's just that they had two stand-alone episodes in a row. I'm sure we'll be back in the thick of it next week. Only two episodes remaining in the season.

At least it should be solid from here on out.

My God another episode that could've been 10 fucking minutes. This show is painfully slow. Could've been condensed into 4 episodes

You're so right. The story is good and the climactic moments were fun but way too much fluff forced to fill out a season worth of content

Yea,…. I’ve never passed episode 5 because I’d always fall asleep. Just too slow.

A lot of these shows have that midseason lull where they've set up a bunch of cool stuff in episodes 1-2 and then they dick around until episode 8 or 9 and then suddenly all the cool shit happens. It's annoying. Just make 5-6 episodes if you don't have enough good content.

I for one can handle the slower episodes like S2E8 of Severance (as I'm not in the TikTok generation like Saucy :P ). But last night I watched E9 and let's just say things are heating up!
