I am not enjoying the second season as much as the first.

Not sure why.

For one, Helly has just about disappeared, and I like her.

I enjoyed the interaction of the four MDR folks and their discoveries. That interaction has disappeared.

My interest is just way down.

I think following up on S1 was always going to be a tall order. That's one of the best season of tv ever. Still very much enjoying S2.

Speaking of Helly, her walk is so distracting. It's so masculine, clumsy, deliberate and not elegant. Not even sure how to describe it other than it's actually hard to watch somehow.

They obviously did that on purpose to contrast Helena's walk which is much more normal and smooth.

This kind of detail is just wild. Makes me wonder how much stuff we miss.

Agreed. I caught a couple things on the rewatch of season 1 with the wife.

I agree the interactions with the MDR folks were fun, but to progress the plot they really had to expand the story beyond the four of them snooping around the severed floor and plotting together.

Ive been reserving judgment to see if the finale's payoff makes it worth it. But up until now, I think I agree with you. I liked the weirdness of the Lumon office the most in S1 and this season has had very little of that.

Yes, I get that they needed to move on to progress the story. And no, I'm not saying I dislike this season (quite the opposite actually). But up until this point, I think I've enjoyed S1 more than S2

ScreenCrush E9 explainer video says they will have a cast member on for the S10 breakdown video.

Maybe I'm not remembering S1 all that well, but does anyone else feel like S2 is more dark? Seems like season 1 was more light hearted innies not knowing how screwed up everything was and now season 2 is more messy. Not that I hate it, just feels like there's been a big tone shift in the seasons.

i think season one was more ambiguous because you weren't really sure what was going on.

I would tend to agree, but I think for the most part it makes sense. The subject matter has turned quite a bit darker as well and I think it gets harder to go back and forth to the same degree as they did previously. The cumulative effect of what we now know about Lumon is weighing heavily; the more we know the darker, more sinister and maybe downright evil it gets. We need some resolution to move the story to the next act and maybe there's more room and appropriate space for more comedy in season 3.

S1 was great, but they really stuck the landing.

My opinion, S2 has been on par with S1 so far, but it'll need a heck of a finale to be remembered as favorably as S1.

S1 Finale and S2 EP7 Chikhai Bardo are without question my two favorite episodes. Really hopeful next week delivers as well.

The problem I have with the outer world is that everyone's Outie is considerably less interesting than their Innie. My favorite characters are Innie Dylan, Innie Irving, and Milchick. I think we've gotten a lot more Milchick this season, which has definitely been the highlight, but we've had virtually no Dylan and Irving scenes. Mark just doesn't interest me. The reintegration was interesting at first, but for the past several weeks, the reintegration story has dragged. I definitely think it was a mistake to have back to back (Gemma's episodes then Cobel) episodes where the main four characters were barely in it. It has definitely made it seem like the show is dragging more. I think if they did the Cobel episode in like episode 2, and then the Gemma episode in episode 7, it would have had a better flow.

Just finished season one. Great show. Glad season two is already available. Can't imagine waiting three years for the second season to have been released.

I think we watched two episodes of the second season and dropped out. Just another example of things many enjoy that me and the wife just cannot get into. Ted Lasso, Severance, super hero movies, Game of Thrones, Yellowstone…maybe we're weird.

Enjoyed Season 1 much more, but still enjoying this one. I feel like the magnitude of the mystery is kind of overwhelming this one a bit. First season the audience had a handle on what the characters were dealing with and trying to discover. This season it's like we're all in the dark to a bigger degree.

Out of curiosity what shows have you been able to get into?
For Apple TV I'd recommend trying Tehran, Slow Horses, and Bad Sisters
Clear Eyes. Full Heart. Might Lose

Second slow horses. Great show. I really like that the seasons are shorter as well.

We really enjoyed The Wire. We really enjoyed Narcos and Narcos Mxico. We loved Breaking Bad and i liked Better Call Saul just as much as BB. The Shield was really good as well. This almost seems like we only watch police shows which is not the case, but we really liked these shows. Midnight Mass was another one we really enjoyed.

Thursday night...

6:25 PM Central = March Madness - Yale vs. Texas A&M
Will finish around 9:00 PM Central

8:00 PM Central = Severance - Season Two Finale
Will finish around 9:15 PM Central

For someone who enjoys following social media during Aggie games, this is going to come down to the wire in terms of risking seeing potential Severance spoilers, considering I had planned on watching the finale live, but now won't be able to.

Either way, what a night for TV.

I have more faith in Severance finishing strong that I do the Aggies.

Why do you have to bring sports into this thread?? I go to the entertainment board to be severed from that reality!

You can't write much better tragedy than A&M sports.

are we all 100% certain Cobel is actually going to help Mark??

anyone get the idea Milichick may actually end up turning on Lumon and helping Mark?

We're not 100% certain of anything.

I said this earlier in the thread. One of the first, actually.
