Despite many months having past since Severance's third season was set up by that heartbreaking Season 2 finale for Gemma and Mark, I still can't quite stop thinking about everything that these characters have experienced. (And am not complaining one bit.) Here lately, I've been wondering more and more about Gemma's trials and tribulations on the testing floor, which were showcased in the gonzo seventh installment.
One of the darkest TV episodes to cross my eyeballs in quite a while, "Chikhai Bardo" is also among the most complex and narratively dense eps of any fictional series, thanks in part to its spread-open timeline, its new locations and characters, and a slew of previously undisclosed details. It's both fantastic and traumatizing from one end to the next, and still manages to leave viewers with as many questions as answers.
