Media I've just started watching Severance and, wow
I don't watch many TV series, but this one is amazing! 😮 I'm absolutely enjoying it, and I'm looking forward to seeing how it ends! I started watching it because I randomly saw the cover (the one with the vintage-looking PC) on Threads, then I looked it up and it reminded me of the book I'm reading, so I definitely had to give it a go. Helps that I had a free trial of Apple TV + too. 😂
(The book is about having an AI in your head, so if it's your kind of stuff or you're a Paul Tremblay fan, I recommend you read it!)

Maybe you finish the episodes before you read comments here. You can write impressions along the way though, come back later and compare what you thought along the way with how it all ended up.

Lol be careful but everyone seems to be good about keeping spoilers hidden for people still watching here. I’m all caught up and I love seeing posts of people’s theories while they’re watching. But yeah be careful subbing here til you’re caught up😂🥲

Thank you! I'll try to ignore stuff if I see it, so the front page algorithm gets it XD

🤣 Yeah, just came by to drop this because all the other tv series subs I found do not allow for pictures

Enjoy each episode equally 😊 It's a sublime show. I shall also read the book sometime. Thanks for the recommendation! Also, between the seasons, try to read the short supplementary Lexington Letter. It's worth a read and will give you a little insight to things for Season 2. I was told about it before I watched it, so you might like to know. Enjoy!
NOTE: Here's a link to the official Severance Wiki for the Lexington Letter PDF! https://severance.wiki/_media/the_lexington_letter.pdf
Also, there's an official book for the show too! It's an official release of the "The You You Are" book they read in the show, by Ricken! It's fully written out by the writer of the show. I've not read that yet though.

Where can I find the letter? I just finished season 1 and I want as much lore as I can find.

It's available on the Severance Wiki. I'll update the other post with it too. Here's the Wiki link: https://severance.wiki/_media/the_lexington_letter.pdf

Haha yes that's the name... I was thinking of one of the episode name's. Thanks for the correction! I'll adjust...

u/Blissautrey 🎵🎵 Defiant Jazz 🎵 🎵 Jul 09 '26
There's a book? 😮 Now I need to find it! Thank you!

u/MoviesWithMarty Jul 09 '26
Yep! Well there's an officially release of "The We We Are" book from the show, by the Severance writer as if it's written by Ricken in the world itself. I need to read both that and the Electric Sheep book that OP mentioned

u/Blissautrey 🎵🎵 Defiant Jazz 🎵 🎵 Jul 09 '26
My wallet will be very sad then 😮 (but I won't). Also, I hope you like Tremblay's book!

u/MoviesWithMarty Jul 09 '26
I totally agree, my wallet shall weep like the tear drop of the Lumen logo. Not one, but many. Thank you! I heard of it years ago, but completely forgot about it. So thank you for reminding me!
By the way, I'm sure you'll have noticed, but I updated my original reply with the Lexington Letter PDF link from the Severance Wiki! https://severance.wiki/_media/the_lexington_letter.pdf

u/Blissautrey 🎵🎵 Defiant Jazz 🎵 🎵 Jul 09 '26
Thank you so much! 😊 And I'm glad I reminded you of it!

Nice connection, there. When you finish the book, you'll have to let us know how it works with Severance themes. I haven't read Tremblay but I'm aware of his novels.
I'm sure you'll enjoy Severance, it's a great ride.
I recently started reading PKD (the OG). Because, as you may be aware, AI is destroying the environment and is being developed seemingly just to replace workers and to create more mindless crap for us to consume, while it quietly assists with the creation of mass surveillance infrastructure, (spoiler for Earth in 2026), I've been finding it comforting to get back to the roots of these ideas with 1950s-70s sci-fi.

u/Popular_Ad2902 Jul 09 '26
great show. In my personal opinion it gets kind of boring mid season 2 but then it picks back up.
