Season 2 is going now. It’s one of my top 3 shows of the last decade, highly recommend it.

tombh• 1 year ago

What are your other 2?

Severance could well get into my top 3, but currently I think mine would be: Mr. Robot, Breaking Bad and Wednesday.

have_faith• 1 year ago

For me, Bir Baskadir (Ethos) is easily in the top 3. It only got one season but it's very self contained, highly recommend.

antirez• 1 year ago

For me other than severance: Halt and catch fire and Better call Saul.

teej7• 1 year ago

I enjoy shows where I get completely engrossed in the world and the story. I love shows that I can fall in love with again on a rewatch. And I want to have lingering thoughts about it when it’s over.

True Detective S1 (2014) is perfect television, but is too old for the last-decade list.

The only other definitive Top 3 is Dark (Netflix)

Other candidates:

- Frieren

- Better Call Saul

- Arcane

- Midnight Mass

- Counterpart (underrated)

- Andor

myvoiceismypass3• 1 year ago

Slow Horses (also on Apple TV+) is currently my favorite - Gary Oldman is crushing it. Severance is my second favorite of the last decade.

DonHopkins• 1 year ago

Definitely The Americans as mentioned above, also The Expanse, The Man in the High Castle, Slow Horses (especially the panoramic London drone shots), Preacher (in which both Tom Cruise and a sewage treatment methane reactor violently explode for their own independent reasons), Babylon 5 (relaxing the last decade constraint), LEXX (a soft porn space opera), Farscape (with real MUPPETS!!!), A&E Network's "A Nero Wolfe Mystery" (with Maury Chaykin as Nero Wolfe, who was also just as grumpy in War Games), and Wilfred (both the original rough edgy low budget original Australian version, and the well produced clean cut American version with Elijah Woods).

Also anything with Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale, who was Claudia the KGB handler who liked playing PacMan in The Americans, Mags Bennett the ruthless head of the marijuana and moonshine smuggling clan in Justified, a fictionalized (or was it???) version of herself "Esteemed Character Actress Margo Martindale" in Bojack Horseman, records supervisor Camilla Figg in Dexter, and Ranger Liz in Cocaine Bear ("I'm sorry. Where'd the bear go?"), and a Canadian maple syrup smuggler in The Sticky. Such a wide range and prodigious rap sheet!

pavlov3• 1 year ago

“The Americans” doesn’t get enough love as one of the top shows of the past decade.

The darkness sneaks up on you. The people who start out seeming like James Bond characters end up carrying the full intolerable weight of their lies and destructive actions. People who looked like side characters are followed up with entire life stories in the shadows.

aaronbrethorst3• 1 year ago

The Americans also has the advantage of being done. It's six seasons long and, imho, manages to the stick the landing.

teej7• 1 year ago

You’ve sold me, I’ll check it out.

UncleOxidant6• 1 year ago

Yep. Recently I've been enjoying "Slow Horses" which is also a spy thriller, though it doesn't hit quite like "The Americans" did.

konart• 1 year ago

Too "Bondish" if not grotesque in my opinion. It started pretty well, but after some events in the show it feels caricaturistic.

sidibe2• 1 year ago

The Bureau is an even better spy show IMO though I loved both. Something about how low key and realer The Bureau feels makes it more intense. It felt like The Wire to me though completely different shows.

cududa• 1 year ago

The Americans absolutely gets enough love as one of the top shows of the past decade. People say that all the time

spopejoy• 1 year ago

Since Severance is a "comedy" -- I really liked Preacher and never see any love for it. Incredibly funny

gordon_freeman2• 1 year ago

Same for me. Severance is probably the best show of last decade. The last time I had such an engrossing experience was while reading 1984.

My other two are:

- Shogun (The depiction of 1600s Japan is so real)

- Resident Alien (Funny and heartwarming to see an Alien getting accustomed to life on Earth dealing with complex human relationships with their flaws)

PS: I am sad to exclude Parks and Recreation which ran from 2009-2015 so probably considered outside of last decade.

lostlogin4• 1 year ago

udev4096• 1 year ago

You'll find halt and catch fire equally engrossing. Give it a shot!

tazjin2• 1 year ago

Counterpart!

(That, by the way, is where Severance seemingly got the inspiration for "The Board")

rplnt• 1 year ago

Resident Alien

Interesting. I thought the premise had potential, but found the writing unbearable. There were major plot holes in the universe they created withing the first 10 minutes. It just didn't make sense. The dialogues and acting was bad on top of that. Didn't even finish the first episode. That being said, the series has OK ratings and was renewed several times, so it might be me not giving it a fair chance.

tsycho• 1 year ago

I found Shogun the show to be relatively disappointing, after having read the book before. The book has a lot of nuanced explanations of people's motivations and philosophical/intelligent dialogue that the show just skips over, since they wanted to cover a huge tome in just one season.

This series deserved to be 2X longer to cover those imho.

ethbr118• 1 year ago

"Patriot" (on Amazon Prime) https://m.imdb.com/title/tt4687882/

Criminally underrated. If you enjoy older Guy Ritchie films or In Bruges, do yourself a favor and watch it.

Also thematically similar, re: alienation and disassociation!

dumbfounder• 1 year ago

So very sad it did not continue. Another underrated gem: Wayne.

I must wave the flag for The Leftovers, whose third season holds an impossible 99% RT score: https://www.rottentomatoes.com/tv/the-leftovers/s03

I hated the first few episodes but I think it might now be the finest show I've ever seen (and I've seen all those mentioned here).

panorama• 1 year ago

One of the best things I've ever seen and I watch quite a lot of TV and film. I'm really only making this comment so that a passerby will see this abundant confluence of support for the show and decide to try it out on a whim. Just a fantastic absurdist, surrealist comedy that's also well-acted and well-written.

georgeecollins2• 1 year ago

It is so good for how unknown it is.

wellthisisgreat2• 1 year ago

Patriot is unlike anything else. Magical in a way it worked.

The same crew made another show and I couldn’t get past 2 episodes.

Patriot was really a celestial event in the world of TV

michh• 1 year ago

Yes! I think the name put a lot of people off, but it’s super good. Really makes you appreciate breakfast and the integral principles of the structural dynamics of flow as a nice bonus.

inopinatus3• 1 year ago

I am enjoying the form and structure but still uncertain about the substance.

I do hope they have a narrative arc planned with a satisfyingly metaphorical conclusion and will not, like certain other shows in a similar genre, meander from one surrealist allegory to another because additional seasons were ordered. The only truly exemplary production I can name in this vein being the sole season of The Prisoner (McGoohan, 1967-68).

Be seeing you

wk_end• 1 year ago

(spoilers)

It was really good at building up a mystery over the course of the first season, but I've been a little disappointed in the second so far.

The pacing's become glacial; the first couple of episodes worked mostly to undercut the dramatic significance of the events of last season's finale.

And I feel like the way that the satire is slowly being replaced by self-serious "lore" is hurting the show; it was very funny and disturbing to see the way the innies are "raised" in a cult and view the CEO as a kind of Messiah (and observe the parallels to real-world corporate culture); Lumen really being an evil cult - as opposed to just an evil company - in "reality", feels less satirical and more ham-fisted.

The ending of the most recent episode suggests promising things to come at least.

UncleOxidant6• 1 year ago

I think people are hoping it doesn't end up like Lost where so many of the quirky details ended up completely unexplained in the end.

philsnow• 1 year ago

meander from one surrealist allegory to another because additional seasons were ordered

This is how I find many shows made in the last ~20 years, but changing out "from one surrealist allegory to another" for various other things. Heroes, Jericho, Battlestar Galactica, House of Cards, hell even Downton Abbey... I would add the Walking Dead and Game of Thrones but I couldn't get through a season of either. I never saw Lost but I think it's the same kind of thing. I'm going to catch flak for it but I thought the same about Stranger Things.

All of them had a good pilot and/or first season, but then the rest of the seasons.... definitely came afterwards.

whilenot-dev• 1 year ago

but still uncertain about the substance.

Honestly, I'm really enjoying that uncertainty and I couldn't image how entertaining it'd be. It certainly has a special place in this current "Zeitgeist" where video games are played by various generations and people calling each other "NPC"s as insult. There's this massive scale of contemporary enterprises, they all would like to retain that image of being young and full of empathy, while also standing above the law. Have you ever talked to some superior at a company and left with this empty feeling that made you recognize all of this unwillingness to change? Severence just hits that spot and frames it nicely into humor, yet still doesn't laugh about it. I question a bit the addition of the latest department in episode 3 and just hope they can stick the landing with such decisions.

The only truly exemplary production I can name in this vein being the sole season of The Prisoner (McGoohan, 1967-68).

I definitely see Twin Peaks in the same realm.

js25• 1 year ago

aka https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mystery_box_show

I will never forgive Lost (which I originally watched in real time) and almost always wait for shows to conclude now before giving them my time.

Nonetheless, I'm enamored by Severance. The attention to detail by the show runners is amazing[1]. It's absolutely gorgeous to look at[2]. It's downright funny at times. I've re-watched the entire first season and there's so many details I missed the first time through. I will likely be satisfied even if it doesn't answer all its questions, but I have a feeling it will.

[1] BTW, the first eight chapters of The You You Are were released on Apple Books yesterday in both eBook and Audiobook form (read by the author).

[2] I watch in a home theater on a 120" 2.39:1 screen. I love that recent shows are being released in scope (see also Silo).

mr_toad• 1 year ago

As a satire of office work, that would kind of track; a version of Parkinson’s Law.

steve_adams_86• 1 year ago

I’m routinely pulled out of it for a moment to appreciate how genuinely interesting and thought-provoking the writing is compared to what I’ve been seeing for years now.

Maybe I watch the wrong stuff, but I’m glad I gave this a chance. It’s so fun.

UncleOxidant6• 1 year ago

Agreed. I think "The Americans" is still at the top of my list for the last decade then it's a tossup between "The Leftovers", "Severance" and "Mr. Robot".

Edit: I forgot "Andor". Easily the best Star Wars thing since the original 3. I like how it shows the hubris and infighting of The Empire and how that leaves openings for the resistance. Feels like a very real look into the workings of an authoritarian regime.

jiggawatts2• 1 year ago

"Or perhaps you find my politics a bit strong for your taste?" was some of the best television I had ever seen in my life, easily up there with the best lines from Breaking Bad or Anthony Hopkins' monologues in West World. The build-up to that moment was masterfully done. I got goosebumps at that crescendo.

georgeecollins2• 1 year ago

Americans is great-- a little uneven because there is a lot more of it then say, Patriot, but also a typically underrated show. Superb cast (they were actually married) and a great take on the material. They could have made them goodie two shoes who subverted their mission; they could have made them sinister spies. Instead they made them people.

beardedmoose• 1 year ago

Mr. Robot had one of the craziest endings I have ever seen in a show. I'll admit I had a tough time watching it around S2 because so much was unexplained, and I felt like I was going insane.

So glad I stuck it out though, I still think about it.

Working at a startup before product-market fit can feel like this.

You don’t know why the work is important, but it must be done so we can at least discover whether it was important. You may not get that information, but you can take comfort in assuming someone does have it.

You’re mostly disconnected from your previous life.

There is a guy in the next office feeding baby goats, and your reaction is: “Yes, it makes sense that we’re also exploring feeding baby goats.”

People come in as blank slates and you’re grateful to have their companionship in the shared madness.

manapause• 1 year ago

That’s funny because I thought they captured it perfectly. Cults can be blissful places; the experience and friends I’ve made amidst the madness I’ve experienced in startups made me stronger in the end.

UncleOxidant6• 1 year ago

I find this more likely in a large corporation. In my experience, in a startup I know what we're trying to accomplish even if I don't know how we're going to do it, yet. I have a lot of control in a startup and I'm wearing a lot of hats which gives me visibility into how things are going.

By contrast, in a corporation you're handed a small piece of the puzzle and you're not sure how it's important or if it's really necessary and you're reliant on others in far flung parts of the company to relay how things are going.

I kind of think that people who haven't worked in a large corporation probably don't get Severance on a visceral level like those of us who have do.

Apocryphon• 1 year ago

Startups can be as siloed and prone to messianic cults of personality as large corporations do. It would be themed differently from Severance, sure, but there are other shows that tackle that.

ninkendo• 1 year ago

Are there any fan theories of what the work is they’re doing?

My bet is on lumen “renting” part of their subconscious to train a computer, while their conscious minds see a sort of projection of the training, and the act of selecting the numbers has a mirror effect on the part of the brain they’re renting, affecting the model training. But that may be a little too “current events” focused, and the writers may have something totally different in mind.

thegabriele2• 1 year ago

My opinion is that the work they are performing it's not the point of them being there. It's about testing the limits of the exploitations of human beings.

wmf• 1 year ago

We know the Cold Harbor file is related to Gemma/Ms. Casey. There's a theory that Mark is somehow resurrecting her by refining that file.

frenchtoast8• 1 year ago

My theory is that all the severed employees are doing various maintenance tasks to keep the floor functioning. Like the hospital in Yes, Minister that is closed to the public but has 500 employees, all of them overworked.[1]

Take O&D for instance, their full time job appears to be to just create art and handbooks used on the severed floor. Perhaps all the departments are like that. MDR could be doing some sort of ongoing maintenance for the severed system itself, like emotion or memory control of the employees on the floor.

I believe the "point" of the severed floor is not the actual work that's being done, but the act of keeping them occupied while they are experimented on. Besides Mark S and Cold Harbor, I believe there are hints of other experiments being run. The dreams Irving B has during work seem unique to him, and it's uniquely affecting his outie as well. I also believe recent events in Season 2 with Dylan G could be the start of another experiment.

pests2• 1 year ago

I thought the wife was oddly emotional during that scene with Dylan G. While I agree it would be odd to see your SO's innie, the way she was in awe and full of emotion just seemed very intense. Like seeing a long lost lover or those first date jitters. Probably overthinking things but I thought it was odd.

Unclasp3671• 1 year ago

I believe the folks in MDR are working on refining artificial consciousness.

I also believe the people in R&D help with refinement by inducing objects into the consciousness and testing the output via 3D printing.

Perhaps MDR works on the emotional side, while R&D works on the imagination or construction of thoughts.

abetusk2• 1 year ago

My theory is kind of the inverse. Their technology has the ability to "take over" the mind and implant a new personality but maybe at the current level it's unsophisticated and all they can do is make a "clean slate" of a person with some basic motor, language and other socialization skills.

"The work" is then not about training a computer model but seeing if they can induce a reaction into a person. That is, they're trying to refine their mind control program.

The characters talk about feeling things when they group numbers for binning. So the task is about refining their projection system, to induce a particular emotion or reaction, in a controlled way, over and over to dial in the technology.

From season 1, there's lore of MDR going crazy and killing a neighboring group. This could be when their experimentation malfunctioned or was too sloppy in some way and induced a killing frenzy.

I have no idea what "cold harbor" is though, or why Mark S. is so special among the other innies.

filoleg3• 1 year ago

Agreed with your theory overall, but wasn’t that lore of “MDR going crazy and killing a neighboring group” revealed in s1 to be fabricated entirely, with each group having their own version of that lore against other groups? E.g., the optics and design group had the exact opposite version of the lore as MDR, down to paintings depicting the events being the exact same, but with swapped badge colors that indicated the aggressor.

rsynnott• 1 year ago

I mean obviously this is actually how LLMs work.

(Season One predates the LLM bubble, so almost certainly not.)

jldugger• 1 year ago

It's been suggested that Mark S is adjusting the neural nets for a robot replacement of his wife. This supported by a few MDR UI screenshots showing acronyms that reference Kier's 4 fundamental tempers: Woe, Frolick, Malice and Dread.

NeutralCrane• 1 year ago

My hunch is that Lumon is working on trying to transfer minds into new bodies and/or bring deceased people back to life, namely for the immortality of the founder. I think the MDR numbers stuff is somehow related to getting severed individuals to map memories somehow, hence their association with different feelings.

junon2• 1 year ago

This is also my running theory. Cult-like structure focused on elongating legacies via body replacements and consciousness transfer - MDR being a testbed or something for emotional stability and processing or something of the sort.

GeekyBear• 1 year ago

My thought was that their ultimate goal is to recreate the mind of their founder and place it into a cloned body.

jccalhoun• 1 year ago

neximo64• 1 year ago

Mark Scout's wife is in a coma, they want to bring her back and reconstruct her soul using MDR.

kylehotchkiss2• 1 year ago

This seems like the most interesting way to go - “last time I saw her she was alive” really was a choice of words.

The whole concept of the show is artificial amnesia, so what if the concept is induced amnesia to solve for it?

nailer• 1 year ago

They’re sorting people according to the four tempers of Eagan - woe, frolic, dread and malice. The buttons are labelled accordingly, using two letters on the show but one letter here.

NoMoreNicksLeft3• 1 year ago

Best I can figure is that it's some form of cryptography. The "severed" thing would be to compartmentalize even more what the underlying work is, the outties are clueless, but even the innies don't get to know what they do because the work is encrypted. They're able to perform it because another part of their brain is severed even more, and just performs the raw algorithm work of decrypting/sorting.

But the rest of Lumen just seems like some bizarro "there's a spaceship hiding in the tail of the comet" cult.

WorldMaker2• 1 year ago

There are a ton of theories out there. A lot of mine relate to Whedon's crueler "Dollhouse" show.

Also, one of the rabbit holes for a bunch of the theories is the Lexington Letter, which you can find in Apple Books or wikis/PDFs.

jmyeet2• 1 year ago

I only watched Severance Season 1 last month. I'm actually glad I didn't have to endure the 3 year wait for Season 2. It is an outstanding show and well worth the watch. There are two things that I find interesting about a lot of media:

1. How much of it is nakedly anti-capitalist and many people don't seem to recognize that. Severance is incredibly anti-capitalist and damning of the entire corporate world. It paints the corporate world as soulless and disconnected from reality. The bizarre perks like the wellness sessions, getting to know you, the music dance experience and the waffle party are a searing indictmment on any corporate team-building experience; and

2. How much media is anti-imperialist and we have no problem identifying that the resistance to that are the "good guys" and the authoritarian state are quite clearly the "bad guys" yet, again, people can't seem to see that in real life. The classic example of Star Wars, which George Lucas has explicitly stated that the Rebellion was based on Vietnamese resistance to American imperialist ambitions [1].

Milchick in "Defiant Jazz" lives rent-free in my head. The work is mysterious and important.

I guess for the first one you weren’t around to enjoy the exact sort of nonsense in insane, soulless soviet bureaucracies. To me it doesn’t really seem anti-capitalist, it’s more anti obscure, sprawling, inhuman and unintelligible authoritarian power structures. Cults and philosophers have been inventing those long before anyone thought up capitalism.

wyldfire2• 1 year ago

I wonder if the macrodata refinement task in the show (well-reproduced here) is something like the work done by human moderators of Facebook, Twitter, etc? It takes a real toll on them, wading through some of the worst content humanity has to offer. It seems like "severance" could be a way to mitigate the real-world damage to moderators' psyche. And then by further decomposing into tasks like the ones done by macrodata refinement (and other teams across the world, praise Kier), that could limit it further.

... although by forking their identity and imprisoning one of them, it seems likely to do more harm than good. Freedom from Lumon for the innies would be the death of that identity, unless they could find a way to share the physical host.

The themes of alienation, the parallels to classes and the methods in which people use to divide people so that they won't unite and revolt, as well as challenging pre-established hierarchies and the methods that are used to justify them and indoctrinate is so poignant. Mix that classical analysis with the modern corporate environment that is so sanitized and faux empathetic for self-interest, and you have a masterpiece.
