119. Why You Should Be Watching 'Severance'...
from [ indistinct chatter ] Hosted by Chuckler.com
Dan Erickson's Apple+ thriller series "Severance" is, to my mind, the best sci-fi TV series we've gotten since "Black Mirror". So why isn't it getting quite as much attention as that series deservedly did? In this episode, I briefly discuss some of the aspects that I think make "Severance" so uniquely good, particularly the very strong casting, idiosyncratic production design, thoughtful world-building, wicked sense of humor, and praise-worthy pacing and creative decision-making. Then a brief discussion of some reasons why this series hasn't struck quite the same social media nerve endings as more buzzed-about (but perhaps also more disposable) series like "Euphoria" or "Yellowjackets"). This ties in nicely with the recent collective gasp over Netflix dropping a significant tranche of subscribers and our entry to What Comes Next for the Golden Age of Streamers. Waffle parties for everyone!
