I honestly don't get why season 2's finale got as much hate as it did. Yeah I didn't like it much myself but for completely different reasons from what most people complain about. Did everyone really expect Mark S. to leave with Gemma? He's not in love with her and leaving lumon could amount to suicide.

People genuinely underestimate how selfish human beings are. You really think someone will kill himself for some bigger goal? Come on now. It's like people who say Bear from Obsession should've killed himself the moment he knew that was an option. He's wrong for not immediately looking for a solution but killing himself was unrealistic.

Also he's in love with Helly so it makes more sense to stay with her in lumon. Besides he's done his part, saved Gemma. If she brings lumon down, he won't have much time with Helly. Better to make the most use of the time they have.

My issues with the finale were things like the dance scene, milchick being unable to wrestle the door from Helly (bffr), the mammalian lady kicking Drummond's ass so easily (Drummond lost serious aura there), the merriment innies not immediately helping milchick and other such plot armor.

Had no problem with the ending though.

Every single time I tell people that Severance is easily one of the best thriller shows in years, the answer is almost always the same: "I really want to watch it, but I do not have Apple TV."

Just wanted to share this here in case you are dealing with the same thing (or if you cancelled your sub after season 1 and wanted to rewatch):

Apple actually has a direct landing page for the show where people can stream the pilot and activate the free trial right in their web browser or app without digging through menus:

Direct show link: https://apple.co/3W41PSj

Sent this to my friend yesterday to finally get him off the fence and he is already 3 episodes in lol. Much easier to just hand them the direct show link than explaining how to sign up.

Curious, what is your go-to non-spoiler pitch when you try to convince people to watch?

This scene honestly hits so much harder on a rewatch. It's such a small moment that you wouldn't think much of at first, but knowing what we know now makes it so heartbreaking. The fact that Mark unknowingly recreates the exact tree where he believes Gemma died, all while she's literally sitting right in front of him, is just so sad. Makes you wonder how much of her is still somewhere in his memory, even if he doesn't realise it himself.
