The second season of the Apple TV+ show Severance is meandering through its mystery storylines, according to a Metacritic report.
This slower-than-usual pace for a mystery box show is refreshing but also strategic, setting up several of the show’s main characters for the finale and giving viewers more opportunities to explore the unique world of Lumon Industries.
The seventh episode focuses on the torturous processes that character Gemma undergoes to become the controlled and emotionless Ms Casey, whilst the eighth takes the story back to Patricia Arquette’s character Harmony Cobel’s isolated fishing village origins and the questionable morals of Lumon Industries’ humble beginnings.
The penultimate episode unites nearly all the main cast in an episode that sets up the finale and brings Mark (Adam Scott) closer to finally finding his missing colleague Gemma.
