Warning: Massive spoilers for Severance season 2 episode 10 below!
Severance isn’t just a TV show: it’s an event. It’s a psychological experiment designed to give us an existential crisis over what it is we even want in life and what it even means to be alive in the first place. Kidding. Kind of. After the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers, we waited three years for season 2 – which proved to be a darker, deeper dive into the dystopian near-future Dan Erickson and Ben Stiller have created and gave us a different, devastating season finale that puts the entire series into perspective. It’s not about turning your work brain on and off, or the person we are on the weekend versus who we are in the office. The metaphors have gone well out the window: this is a story about two different men with two different sets of wants and needs – and what they decide to do in the eleventh hour, when the stakes are high and decisions have dire consequences.
