Severance 1 x 1-2 | Full-Length Reaction

Here we go!

Comments

Haha enjoy

Franklin

Omg I had no idea you reacted to severance, I have so many reactions to binge! This is such a banger show 🔥

Jusskitten

i’m so late but realised you’ve reacted to this show and i’ve never watched it so i thought i’d check it out and i am not disappointed, gonna binge it all 😊😊

lula

I want to answer you but I don't know how far you got in your watch through, so I'll just say you will find out soon

Franklin

Not having watched since before, I have soooooo many questions. I guess when you are home, you remember you have a job, but you don't remember how much it sucks at Lumon, so you go back everyday. And once you are there, you can't leave until the day ends. Seems like Lumon is one big human experiment any everyone there are lab rats. Will see where continued viewing leads to!!

Kim

This is my first time watching this show. I'm intrigued and at the same time a bit frightened. The one thing I have not figured out yet is...since their work and home life are severed, how do they even remember to go to work the next day or remember where they live in order to drive home at the end of the work day?? Did I miss something???

Kim

hahaha the speed is crazy. Already in season 2. Lucky you

Franklin

I think it's just inside Lumen Industries, and I really enjoyed the vintage style they have in there.

Franklin

I wonder in which time this show is set in. The computer Monitors and the "board" look very vintage. Or is ist just inside of lumon like this? The watch marks turns on for work seems to be an older model than the one he wears outside. The last scene of Peetey seems like the former "outie" and "innie" were there at the same time, so mabe the severance had kind of infekted his bain and could not be completely reserved. And I really want to know what exactley their work is.

Myra

Thanks Frank for holding my hand on this one! I tried watching once before and stumbled but I tried again last week with your reaction and BOOM. I'm now on Season 2 episode 1 😂

Darrell Pringle

We're finally here

Franklin

every time you say "we only watch peak" i think about severance so i'm so so glad it's finally a part of the carousel of shows

Nyfe of closegood

Shout out to Pops. Thanks for elaborating

Franklin

😅 I just commented that before I saw your comment! Yes, my dad is a doctor on a unit for epilepsy, and they do indeed perform the surgeries with the patient awake!

Lola Lirola

You might also like Silo - it's another Apple TV show. Has 2 seasons. I still need to watch season 2 - it's a weird one also.

I have the answer to the "does brain surgery hurt"? My dad is a neurosurgeon specialized in epilepsy, and they do indeed operate on awake, conscious people, and it doesn't hurt! The brain itself doesn't have nerve endings. So the part that they have to anesthetize is just the local area of the skull, but once inside it's fine. They once operated on a violinist who was having seizures, and they had her playing the violin during the whole operation to make sure they didn't mess up anything bad!

Lola Lirola

For real. Even the way they talk at the office was weird, the higher-ups. I wanted answers so bad .

Franklin

Oh yeah. I did not enjoy his character in a good place obviously because he was a demon and so condescending. But I enjoy his character here

Franklin

not sure if you recognize adam scott (main character), he plays trevor (one of the demons) in the good place

Addie Pollack

Even on re-watches, I just sit through episode 1 saying to myself, "This is sooooo weird. So weird." 😂

Melissa

Me too!!!!

Melissa

Sure! Maybe listen to S1 episodes before starting S2. But regardless of what you do, definitely listen. S1 pods are particularly good.

Melissa

🕺🏾🪩

Franklin

It's finally here ⭐

Franklin

Hell yeah

Franklin

I love that you're watching it with Mama

Franklin

So interesting. That story about the violinist is just incredible

Franklin

Very very strange

Franklin

oh yeah! I hope they release more of Black Mirror soon

Franklin

Thanks for sharing. I absolutely love listening to podcasts of shows that I enjoy. I think I'll wait till after the show is done. Sometimes hearing the crew talking about it subconsciously influences how I view the show as I'm watching

Franklin

Me too. Have a lovely day.

Laura Thate

lets goooo

Franklin

Oh yeah definitely. A lot of the aspects feel so real. I'm really looking forward to diving deeper into this one

Franklin

This one has been to Talk of the Town for a while now. Happy to finally start it And yeah I caught how they lied about his injury and gave him a gift card. Shady indeed. So many secrets

Franklin

I'm so locked in. It's very different than beautiful to watch

Franklin

Holy shit. I never realized that

Franklin

🙏🏾

Franklin

We're eating good Ray. We're eating good

Franklin

You've gone from watching one of my favorite movies to watching my current favorite show this is what I wanna see!! So excited to see you go on the journey that is this show. One of the few ive seen in a while where every episode seems to top the previous one. It's only up from here lol.

Ray Criswell

I re-listened this morning. It's very very safe to listen to.

Melissa

Aaaah i’m so excited

In terms of your question about brain surgery, it is actually common for certain brain surgeries to have the patient be awake during surgery and just have general anesthesia for when they cut through the skin. Your brain has little to no pain receptors so you can’t feel any pain when they are doing surgery on your brain and keeping you awake ensures that there is no damage done that is affecting Your speech or ability to physically move.

Julia Barrera

My favorite show in a long time! I mean, I LOVED The Good Place and Fleabag, but this one has all the stuff going for it, interesting story/writing, great acting, directing, cinematography, set design! Opps, let me rephrase that; I enjoy all the creative and skilled elements of this show equally. 😉

Fetid Moppet

You’re in for such a fun ride. One of the best first seasons of television I’ve ever seen. Wouldn’t change a single thing about it. NO SPOILERS: I’m not sure if you caught it, but when Mark got the card about how he got injured at work, they lied about how he sustained said injury. Not a spoiler, just another shady Lumon activity to take note of. Also you are blessed and highly favored to be starting this as season two is airing. Soooo excited to witness your journey!

Amanda Hill

This one I voted on blindly because I didn’t know any of the shows so I saw that it was ranked pretty high, so I decided to click on it. I have a feeling this mirrors, a certain part of human reality that we many may deny exist in our worlds Govs.

Laura Thate

I do think the podcast is really great but imo it's a good in between s1 and s2 listen. I think some of the way they talk about the show gives away themes that get developed over the first season. 🤷‍♂️ Probably not enough to be considered spoilers though, just thought it was worth mentioning

Michael

This one took me two tries to get into, but now I’m IN.

Franklin: Ben Stiller, executive producer and director of Severance, and Adam Scott who plays Mark have a podcast. It would be worth your time listening to the podcast discussion after each episode. They don't spoil anything because it's episode by episode. https://www.audacy.com/podcast/the-severance-podcast-with-ben-stiller-adam-scott-947fe They also have actors, the writer, and others guest on the pods. Def worth the listen. **UPDATE: I listened to Episode 1 and 2 again while cleaning this morning. I truly do not believe anything is spoilery at all. And all the behind the scenes info and actor input is fascinating.

Melissa

I listen to the We Know Severance podcast, and two of the podcasters are doctors who studied the brain. I love to hear their input on specific parts of the show. They were super excited that what they saw in this episode was realistic and plausible. **They also had good insight into S2 Ep 3 if you're interested. https://robhasawebsite.com/shows/rhap-we-know-scripted-tv/severance/

Melissa

Your comparison to "Black Mirror" is spot on! :) :)

Melissa

Ohhhh! I just started this myself. I’ll watch along with you. It’s a strange one!

Christina H

You asked if the surgery was real medically. The director said on a podcast that the guy playing the surgeon was a real brain surgeon that they had consulting on set. It was filmed during Covid, so instead of bringing an additional actor on set they just had the surgeon play the part. 😅 About the pain: there aren’t many nerve endings in the brain. They often do brain surgery with just local anesthesia to numb the pain when they cut the skin, but you don’t really have pain receptors in the bone or brain tissue. Having you awake also means they can monitor your responses better. I remember hearing a story about a professional violinist who had a brain tumor removed. They had her play at points during surgery to make sure the areas they were going to cut wouldn’t damage her ability to play.

Valaree

Oh cool! I’ve been watching this with my mother and we haven’t finished season one yet. Itll be great to rewatch here too. Refresh all the details! 🥳🥳

Broody Gaming

I’m so excited to see you geek out on this show!!!

KLa Renée
