They say absence makes the heart grow fonder, but I think that sometimes when it comes to TV shows a huge break between seasons can have the opposite effect. While you tell yourself that you definitely really enjoyed the show, waiting years for new episodes can wear down your optimism and interest in what's coming.
Case in point – I've spent the last year or more confidently saying that my favourite sci-fi series on Apple TV+ (and there are plenty to choose from) is Silo, thanks to its interesting pacing and slow mystery-building. It's had two seasons in two-and-a-half years, and I've enjoyed both. Now, though, Severance's new episodes have forced me into a total rethink.
