I told you guys about this show during season 3 of GoT 🙃

Seth Aasland

Finally got around to watching this show and am almost caught up. This show might just have one of my favorite dystopian themes that revolves around the workplace, especially as someone who believes that the “work/life balance” is so difficult to attain, and especially here in the U.S. with unregulated corporations (not to get too radical lol)

Dominic

after the first episode ms casey had the same pecentage of marks work i believe it was 68% over her face maybe lumon is trying to do something with cloning or "data transferring" something like that im not too sure.

UnKay

That doesn't represent many people. Most won't rate and write a review.

Hey guys, just so you know, the latest videos posted on YouTube still haven’t been released here for the plan that follows the YouTube schedule. Like episode 6 of Alice in Borderland, the latest episodes of Mob, the third one of Sakamoto Days, and the first of Severance season 2. Totally get that delays and unforeseen issues happen, but this is a lot of episodes.

gabifelix🇧🇷

exactly

kiiturii

bro cooked

kiiturii

guys.. just read the tiers before confidently claiming shit lol.. The uncut tier does not have early access like the Gek tier does. Uncut tier gets stuff at the same time as youtube does. The reason you guys haven't had anything locked is because you are not the same tier as the commenter...

kiiturii

it's just underrated, both on imdb and rotten tomatoes, some of the reviews are pure brainrot. People watch one episode, say the pacing is bad and give it 1 star

C U

Also in the show intro Egan is a baby, I think that may be referred to his "revolving"...becoming a baby again.

Ron Jackson Jr

scary

Osiris704

Adding those shows to the watchlist!

UnKay

I've wanted to watch it, probably would have long ago when I had time to focus, if I wanted another subscription. Chaos is lovely.

Kevin Landon

They aren't that bad, if you know you are gonna talk for more than like 10 seconds, pausing would be ideal tho, like Crojo reaction channel does, there are channels that miss the best things they should be reacting to though, but Gek is good

C U

After a rewatch, I noticed that Helly said in the first episode, "are they growing us in here...am I an animal."..something to that effect" and later when Ms Cobel got Petey' chip...Mr Milchick was like " Is that Petey"......Like they are going to put him back into something.

Vladimyr Blue

To answer or provide a theory to Carter’s question in the beginning, it may be because not many people care to watch Appletv outside of Ted Lasso. Personally I haven’t seen Ted Lasso but it is the most talked about as far as I know. But Ted Lasso also gets more push to the public. I think Severance with this season will probably become much more popular if they can stick the landing. The show SEE on appletv is really good with a good concept.

I was legacy for a long time until I switched to the one that covers everything without discord

Grant

Don’t forget that the first season was like one big crescendo/acceleration/snowball and considering the “slowness” or “edging” in the first two episodes so far, I imagine this season may do the same sort of thing. Personally I love them making the seasons like this, it just makes the week to week drops so hype

velemon

Well what tier are you

S K

At 39:47 the clock was at 9:15am because he left early that day because of the incident where he sprinted to milchicks office and talked to the board

S K

Well obviously Irving knows milchick he’s the manager Irving calls or any employee calls when somethings wrong if they can’t show up or when they did the severance procedure, every severed employee has to know milchick

jblakk

I wrote a whole ass explanation but clicked the wrong button and deleted it, so sorry if this is brief and vague cuz im not rewriting that lol BUUUT Simply put, if someone is dead, and is cloned or brought back to life the theory is they have to have the things that make them an individual re-entered into the subject/clone/whatever. If this is true then the 4 tempers Woe, Frolic, Dread, and Malice are subgroups that equate to what makes a person an individual and what memories and emotions they uniquely elicit. They are essentially refining a blank slates mind. This is given evidence by the fact that Mark did his last refining all in a day and the episode flash cut ended with the reveal that he is refining his wife. Perhaps he was able to do it so swiftly because no one knows his wife like him or his subconscious.

Anya

Ughh yes give me Travis Fimmel 🔥🔥

Anya

That's why I want longer end discussions. The people want to hear from y'all! 😃 I don't judge too much because I know you guys are probably still processing the episode. I benefit from the rewatch through y'all. I catch more I may have missed the first time. I just don't like seeing people here and AIB jumping down y'all throats haha

Fellow Lumonite, let us not allow Woe to cloud our judgment. As Kier teaches, we must temper our impulses and embrace the collective experience that React channels offer. It is in their nature to engage, discuss, and share their enthusiasm, even if it means some dialogue is lost in the process. We must approach this with Equanimity, for frustration is but a barrier to our continued refinement. After all, we are not here to merely observe, but to engage with open hearts and disciplined minds. Fetid Moppet

Zess

You watching a reaction or you watching the show for yourself?

Nanashi

What does refining memories and individualism even mean

Euphemia Isobel

Still patiently waiting for Vikings 🥳

Euphemia Isobel

Finally caught up on this show, and finally can watch something with you guys again since Arcane and Dark ended 😭😭😭

Anya

Nooo don't do that! Severance deserves your full attention. I get you though, it did seem slow at first. I only watched this because of them. Never heard about it before. Now I'm so glad! I love shows that challenge my mind!!

Ayaulym🇰🇿

dude there is clearly something wrong wth your patreon. I never had anything locked

daniel shears

omg stop fucking talking over important dialogue!!!

S Moonchild

Persephone is the queen of underworld in Greek mythology. She is a daughter to Zeus(God of sky and thunder) and Demeter(Goddess of earth, fertility). According to the legend, her uncle Hades (God of Underworld) abducts her from her mom and keeps her there as a hostage. Her mom cries over her and because her mom is basically a Goddess of Warmth, earth and fertility long winter starts, nothing is growing. She is stressed and can’t keep the earth fruitful. That’s how long winter starts, everything freezes up. And then they negotiate with Hades and he lets Persephone leave some parts of the year, but she has to spend 1/3 of the year with him in underworld. That 1/3 is winter months we have. 1/3 of your year or 1/3 of your day, sounds a lot like spending 8/24 hours in the office. Also underworld? Severance floor is under main floor. Also, 9 principles of Kier = 9 levels of hell? 4 severed employees and 4 tempers of Kier.

becca

i know 😭 i told my friends to wait till s2 finished releasing before they did their free week apple tv trial

Kevin Landon

That's just cuz you have to have a Dong to get a Ding ...Ding Dong....

Kevin Landon

The 4 tempers of Keir are Woe, Malice, Frolic and Dread. The boxes they are putting the 9 numbers(principals) have WO FC DR and MA on them...

Josh Hargrave

Ah ok my bad. I didn't hear you guys say anything about Gemma being connected to it so it seemed like y'all missed all that but yeah I really wanna know what they're actually doing with her.

Studio Geck

We do remember that obviously we just don't know what cold harbor is like everyone else. We know who its linked to but just what is actually happening is still a mystery

Charles Hesketh

It was also on the screen that flashed with Ms Casey’s face at the end of ep. 1, so it’s definitely the code name of whatever they’re doing with Ms Casey

Sanji

Cold Harbor is the project/file name that Mark was working on in the last episode that had Gemma’s face flickering with information. It looks like Mark is rebuilding Gemma’s brain.

McKay Carter

I said this!

UnKay

I've said this too, I never once saw an ad for their shows (until very recentl), only people talking about them, which is relavant advertising, but less of a draw.

UnKay

Lmaoo that's a good red herring, leading us to think Irv is just some pining, unstable person, but those papers had me thinking this too!

UnKay

mad popular actually, I've yet to see someone not add it to their list of recommendations. idk if they're going off imdb, which really only measures reach (which can be based on a lot), and not quality.

UnKay

How many times have you watched to catch all these deets? Haha. I'm painfully realizing I can only half pay attention to most new shows, if watching alone, usually having to multitask anyway. Things have to get sweeter over time for me, as I get the luxury to pay better attention lol. No wonder I'm not enthused about new-to-me stuff on patreon, only having to pay half attention with stuff I've seen is more convenient rn.

Kite

since when is Severance underground? It's very popular

Charles Hesketh

Apple was also terrible at advertising their shows. They’re doing a lot better getting the word out this time

gabifelix🇧🇷

Yeah, same for me

Anya

Severance Thursdays for me 🙌🥳

Anya

Right? & they took away the cameras because she is the camera. False sense of privacy. Yes! I also believe that's the end goal! I wrote a theory on that. Cobel attended the Myrtle Eagan school & is a stout believer. I think Helena is threatened by her devotion and success. Especially now, when she feels like she's failing.

Anya

Oh yes! I also agree with Jack that Irving could be working with Reghabi or other anti-severance activists. Wouldn't be surprised if he was successfully reintegrated or was placed as a mole. "The Message" he left his innie could be his paintings of the hallway to the testing floor. Remember, he also had research papers about Lumon. Too bad "innie" Irving was on a mission just to see Burt lol

UnKay

This is kind of what I was trying to say. Idk if I like it yet as the plot though.

UnKay

Apple products have been lambasted for awhile, people don't even think to subscribe to them, let alone in the form of another exploitative streaming service. Apple may have solid products and TV shows (I fully agree), but as this show itself is criticizing, people hate exploitative monopolies & labor corporations, which Apple easily identifies as. I've known most lay people to use apple products against their will, with only a few tech professionals who swear by it's work standard quality.

UnKay

Actually, I think it is Helena in there and she was studying how Helly acts, especially with Mark, who she's obviously closest with, so he might notice a change. It's interesting that they didn't show Milchick talking to Helly R about anything before she came back, when she was the most risky insubordinate. I think the intro is meant to be relevant to this season, not necessarily some kind of improvement upon the last. Maybe they're trying to use Mark's mind to bring Kier, and others, back. Maybe they brought Gemma back. I also think Cobel might have a really sympathetic backstory, or is on some kind of rogue side quest, and isn't one of the antagonists at all. 🤷🏾‍♀️

Mysterious Figure

On my membership page it says Gek tier (legacy)

Mama Browsss

There are so many great shows on Apple TV+ that I never heard about until a friend told me. Like, some of the best shows currently out there - Silo, Dark Matter, The Crowded Room, not to mention Severance. I wish there was more hype around these shows cause they all have mystery and crazy twists. They make for great reactions.

UnKay

Damn parental issues & generational trauma alwyas going hard these days lol

Osiris704

0:30 I think the reason Severance feels so ‘underground’ is because it’s not super accessible to casual viewers. If it were on a platform like Netflix or Hulu, it would probably garner more attention. Tbh idk anyone who has or even uses Apple TV+ lol

Desiree Retterath

Cold Harbor was the file Mark was working on at the end of the last episode…

jrnoodles

Thanks! Ms Cobelvig is a psycho

velemon

You get access as soon as they post? I have to wait about a week before they unlock it (some tiers get early access). I have the Uncut tier (Legacy)

JulioLG

Great episode! My comments here - Seems you missed that Milkshake (I can't with this hahaha) put all that BS about the change and the famous innies in a weekend, while they told the innies six months had passed. - I think is clear that they need Mark because he is a crucial testing part of whatever they are doing with Gemma and himself. Good theories have been shared here. - The intro was insane, so good! - I really hope the writers/produceres have all the story figured out so they can give it the right amount of eps and a great ending like Dark had. Is great to share the new eps here with you all, Severance fridays lets gooooo

JulioLG

sadly (or maybe not) they do weekly releases

Mysterious Figure

It's not locked for me. I have the same tier sub and have never had anything locked EVER or had any issue whatsoever since this channel started.

Josh Hargrave

It really bothers me how y'all don't remember how Cold Harbor has something to do with Gemma/Ms Casey. It showed it on the screen at the end of episode 1 😭.

velemon

Just want to let you know that 2x1 is still locked for the Uncut - Legacy tier!

Helena definitely not severed. Whenever the innies wake up in the elevator you hear a "ding". Mark, Dylan, and Irving all had a ding after the elevator door closed. Helena didn't.

S

Lest we forget that Mark has a crystal head cube on his desk. “That’s not a perk, that’s just something they gave him.” It’s hard to hear because Irving starts dozing/hallucinating during the explanation but… in season 1 Dylan explains to Helly that the files they refine are on a time limit and only last for so long. Mark had a “freshman fluke” and holds the record for fastest file refined and Lumon basically changed the process based around whatever Mark did, so now they can finish the files faster on average. Mark may be a prodigy or has some unique skill as a refiner that’s different from Dylan’s intellect that led to his numerous earned perks. So in addition to Mark’s connection with Gemma/Ms. Casey, they need him the most in MDR it seems.

Enma

Yeah you cooked with this bro, this just made me change my whole perspective on the show.

Enma

Adding on to @jblakk's amazing prediction/theory: So, "Cold Harbor" is basically some sort of test/prototype for the "resurrection" or "rebirth" of an individual, and Mark is important because he is the closest person to Gemma and has the most knowledge about her. They use his subconscious to pull/extract memories of her. This is why the numbers rely on your emotions to be categorized. I'm guessing each member of MDR represents a different concept, such as emotion, sin, or something along those lines. Maybe they also plan to make it a product, mainly targeting the elites of their society, and market it as a way to make them seemingly immortal. It seems like this is the first time they are doing something like this, or at the very least, Mark and Gemma have had the most success with it, making Mark very important to this "project." This might sound crazy, but it could also explain why they want to make everyone severed, so they can extract their memories or souls and import them into dead bodies, turning those bodies into husks of their former selves, essentially making them slaves and continuing the process.

Andrew Lynch

Keep up the quick reactions dudes these are great. Also mark seems to be refining miss Casey in some way (could be a multitude of things, they got her brain and she’s a clone or she’s alive and being refined) and I think they’re going to try to use the research for something with kier. Mark can refine so quickly because he knows her and can probably achieve results others can’t, making him critical to what they’re trying to achieve

Pats

Hopefully! I joined juicy tier just to see erased and it’s not there 😅

Pats

If anyone is interested there is a video on YouTube now of Ben stiller and Adam Scott breaking down how they filmed the opening scene of the first episode ☺️

S

Jack, Irving knows Mr. Milchick on the outside because he is all of their main contact for work. In season 1 we see that if Mark wants to call in sick he has to contact Milkshake. Also remember outtie-Dylan let him in his house to ask innie-Dylan questions using the OTC. The outties don't know Cobelvig (well outtie-Mark does now) but they do know Milkshake.

Hey fellas when is Violet Evergarden dropping?

Anya

Cannon!🤗 Discussions need to be longer. It gets interesting and then it cuts🙃

Anya

Star Wars is my baby!🥰 The disservice to lore and the disrespectful treatment Disney has done is crazy! The Acolyte nearly killed me 😵

kyle

easily. it’s actually such a shock how much better it is than other disney star wars project’s. it lowk makes me mad they all couldn’t be of that quality 😭

Anya

Band of Brothers🙌🤞

Anya

Agreed! One of the best things to come out of Disney lol

GreetswithJudgement

That was my first guess but I hope it’s The Penguin or Band of Brothers. But I’m usually wrong every single time.

kyle

Andor might be my favorite Star Wars project ever tbh. Beginning is a bit of a slow burn if I remember correctly but it is SO good

Sissy Six

Ok my older brother was just hounding me earlier about how I need to watch Andor before season 2 comes out and how he thinks I will love it. Gotta take this as a sign. I’m gonna start this weekend.

jblakk

Okay after seeing the intro im locking in my prediction. They are bringing people back to life, but renewing them. The babies symbolize rebirth and Kiers ultimate goal is to be reborn. Ms Huang is Gemma as a kid. The numbers and refining is them refining memories and individualism through the 4 tempers. Im shooting my shot.

kyle

unrelated but will y’all be reacting to Andor S2 when it releases?

Anya

I think Cold Harbor is Gemma and what's happening on the testing floor. Mark knows Gemma best and he's crucial to Cold Harbor's completion. I already wrote my theory on the last post. The Battle of Cold Harbor was fought in 1864. Kier Eagan founded Lumon in 1865. Could represent birth or beginning. This gives me Kamino/Kaminoan vibes. The intro alone is telling...

Sissy Six

Whoa new intro goes crazy

becca

i need apple tv to drop the rest of s2 now

GreetswithJudgement

Ah…Kendall 😂 I’m ready for the Geks to cringe for dear life when they finally watch the show.

kyle

this comment is kendall roy approved

Anya

I agree with Jack. Helena seemed envious of Helly. Remember, she told her she's not a person. She's now watching Helly pursue a relationship and act like "a person." Her dad was only affectionate when she sacrificed herself for their company. No love there.

Stefan

why are all cars old indeed

GreetswithJudgement

Hopefully they don’t cancel this show and finish it off great like they did with Succession, another show you boys will indeed enjoy. Also, love the table!

Enma

Something is telling me that the surprise series is gonna be Breaking Bad

Cryptcat

Will Erased juicy watch party vods be uploaded to patreon? Also will endings from 2023 shows you watched be reacted to?

Anya

I should've tagged you lol I mentioned it on last post 🙃

Cannon Andrus

Nice nice

Anya

I blame y'all for getting me into this. This weekly release is gonna kill me. 😩😒 *Anakin voiceover* "I want more, and I know I shouldn't"

tomlette

No sorry I meant Apple TVs air schedule… like it says the next episode will come out next Friday like these first two said but should I just expect it Thursday night? Lol what they doin. It’s like they messing with our head.

tomlette

I am so confused by their release schedule😭 do they just keep dropping them early? I was planning on staying up until 1am to watch the new episode because that’s when everyone said it aired.
