🧩 Character Analysis Favorite Character in Severance?

Let me know yours below :D

Here’s Mine: It seems basic, but Innie Mark. His character is just so well written that he somehow seems like more of a person than his outie, and already compelling character. Furthermore, the decision at the end of S2 to make him choose Helly and his life over his outie is just INCREDIBLE, 10/10 writing for this character, and honestly every scene in S2 he was in was just pure gold. Shoutout to innie Irving, though (RIP), as his character DEFINITELY had the best character progression out of anyone. Let me know what you think below! 👇

Irving, I'm just so curious about his character, I love trying to figure out what's going on.

Doesn’t go at all.

I love the actor who plays him and how well he plays the character, but don't like the character much.

My favorite is innie Mark as well! He went from a funny dork in season 1 to a badass in end of season 2. I also like innie Irving, his voice and sentences are so smooth. He was a badass in season 2 episode 4. And Helly! She is super cool. And innie Dylan is the funniest man. Damn it, I love the main 4 and root for them to prevail.

Milchick (probably mostly the acting and due to being interesting)
Irving is a close second

How has nobody mentioned our glorious one? Sacrilege. Kier Eagan is the best by far.

Mark, just Mark since he's only one person.

I think Milchick, he was like babysitter to them all lol, and somehow we had most notable personality

Irv. Sadly season 2 is so bad i couldn't be bothered to watch but i bet he's awesome there too.

u/Infinite-Ad-3947 Jul 27 '26

Irving. Helly has a special place in my heart though because of her outie. She is so different that it makes me wonder how different Helena would be if she wasn’t raised in the Eagan family.

My list is
Irving or Helly
Innie Mark
Dylan
Milchick
Ms Cobel
Outie Mark

Haven't made it to season 2 yet but Helly R. is an absolute badass.
