I’m out.
I’m not engaged, interested, amused or impressed. By any of it.
Feels like a group of writers and a director just jerking themselves off and having a helluva time. But somehow doing it as slowly as humanly possible.
Consistently the longest 45 minutes of my week without fail. Every episode feels like 90 minutes but it’s 45 with 2-3 minutes of that being opening and closing credits.
And I refuse to dive into theories and shyt, and frankly the show hasn’t done anything to earn that time and effort from me. The outside is a mystery, the inside is a mystery. The people are a mystery. The work is a mystery. The time period is a mystery. Is it even Earth? Who gives a shyt.
I thought of a typed this whole post with the first 16 minutes of episode 5 on in the background. Didn’t miss a thing. Because nothing happened.
I’ll read an article that explains the whole show once it’s all over.

there is a big elephant of logic pie that's getting bigger all of the time which they are not addressing.
they just ignore them to help the logic stick together as the world expands.
in the finale they could have done a lot more to get their point across.
having that new room where chubby breh .. is crazy and an op for points.
even taking so long to question why milf was there doesn't make sense.
and if mike
is sure his wife is there then call the police.
how did you arrange for a book reading but not mention the (missing) book gift.
how is milf going into your yard (brazen front door entry no less) without you or anyone else noticing .. anything
the override means that the severance is not spatially controlled then. and if they can remotely flip that switch and overwrite you, would anyone willingly let that be done to them. only the desperate with no other choice and definitely not one of the owners.
helena is walking around with remote controlled bomb in her head that could kill her (overwrite her) at any time.

your inne could kill you at any time. would you take the risk? wouldn't you insist on regular contact with your inne to make sure they are ok, rather than just take the company's word for it.
despite that it's still great (still) with a great mythos in particular.
i expect the growing logic issues mean that there cannot be many seasons of the show.

I'm gonna try and respond without coming across like a troll or being dismissive, because I read your post twice and I appreciate that you took the time to write it.
But what?
All of those are open questions or logic gaps that I guess need answering, but simply as a television show, as an hourlong piece of entertainment week to week, it appears that most of the interesting stuff is happening on Reddit. or maybe in forum threads like this, but I haven't ventured into that, because like I said, this show has done nothing to earn the interest from me.
I've watched mystery box shows before. I'm a Mr. Robot thread OG. I grew to like season one of this very show. But perhaps something about me has changed in the 3 years since the first season aired.
To me, this show, simply, is not good. It is not interesting. It is a slick, high budget imitation of an interesting show. Nothing happens. There are constant threads left dangling and the creative team seem to be content with answering as few questions as possible in exchange for style and being "funny" from time to time.
The outside world, the inside world, and the characters themselves cannot all be mysteries with threads left hanging because I have nothing to hold on to. No rung of the ladder to climb. No steady footing. Just slick shots and borderline scientology level gibberish with the promise that one day, maybe, they'll tell me what the goats are about or who that Asian girl is.
And as the episodes passed, I started to come to the conclusion that the answer to those questions weren't worth the boredom.

Better to just let it go than keep hanging on hoping it turns into something it’s not.
Theres a lot of shows I was super engaged in then just dropped off and never went back(Westworld, Euphoria, Gotham)
You never feel bad cause you just find something else to engage with.

I need to start watching it with the subs on because they'll occasionally throw in big words I've never heard before so I didn't catch the "re-canonicalized painting" the first time. I was stuck on pause for a hot minute looking at those paintings like "hold on, Kier ain't... then why is he..."
oh shyt. Did you do Milchick’s review?

...
they introduced his son because it was season 1 and they were developing the world/tech.
the wife is a tack on as her visits do not make sense in the context of the strict "no info" rules of season one.

it takes time i would think as the reintegration is not over yet.
the doctor indicated that the work she has done is only the first step and that she has more work to do.

Unrelated… but Natalie is getting smashed, way before I consider looking in Helly R direction.The acting is so damn good on this show
When Milchik asked Natalie about the painting...her expressions

The whole point is Milcheck is doing things differently from Cobell.
He took them outside but in the middle of a forest with the world’s tallest waterfall. He showed Mark a newspaper of them as heroes of Severance reform.
Cobell gave them no info and punishment
Milcheck is giving them selected info and lies

I take it to mean that the entire TOWN is wired up with Severance transmitters.
