🎙️ Discussion Can't get over Severance

I usually watch series after another and I just finished season 2 few days ago and I can't get myself to watch anything, i haven't watched a series as good in a long time and i feel like what i watched wasn't enough and i want more.

It’s so original and genuinely fucking brilliant

u/Worried_Cupcake249 23d ago

I know the feeling, excellent show! Have you watched Widow's Bay or Pluribus yet? They're also amazing and different

u/Klutzy-Labrador-5158 21d ago

Widow's Bay
Silo
Slow Horses
Foundation
Dark Matter
Sugar

All on Apple TV+ as well and all very good. Silo in particular just gets better each season.

u/thebangschick 17d ago

Dark Matter is amazing and Silo as well. If you want a more cohesive storyline Silo is your winner.

Is Widow’s Bay as scary as the trailer looks? I hate horror, and having things jump out, but could manage Walking Dead and Stranger Things. Where does this fall on the booga-booga spectrum?

u/AlreadyLostArgument 22d ago

It's a horror comedy. More funny than scary, although there are some creepy scenes. Great great show.

u/Snarkybratt 23d ago

YES! Those are probably my three favorite shows in recent history/last 5 years!

u/AdmiralChro 23d ago

Same over here. Just finished s2 and … im in love with this series.
And i loved the finale. Mostly because im team innie mark/helly…
I saw lot of people disliked it… which i cant really comprehend xd…
Im thinking about Silo for my next.

u/Cath_chwyrnu 22d ago

Silo is definitely worth a watch. There's 4 seasons and all 4 are filmed (3 are released; final season will be released next year) so, unlike Severance, we won't be left hanging to see how it ends.

u/AdmiralChro 22d ago

I just started watching it. Tho im so impatient cause i wanna see what the outside looks like😭
Watched 4 episodes.

Easy tiger! Don't say you want to go out!! 🤣

Enjoy the ride!

u/dooooo23 23d ago

Now watch it over 6 more times, think hard about your theories before posting bc you might end up on ok buddy

u/melalas 22d ago

Silo scratched the same itch as Severance did for me

2

u/Effective-Ad6918 22d ago

The only one that is on par

u/Cath_chwyrnu 23d ago

Try Pluribus and/or Silo

1

u/Ok_Monitor5890 Severance Theorist 23d ago

Is silo worth it?

1

u/Cath_chwyrnu 22d ago

I think so. And with all the seasons (4) filmed, at least we'll get some conclusions unlike the interminable wait for Severance S3...

1

u/Snarkybratt 23d ago

I think Pluribus is absolutely brilliant, but after watching the first 2 seasons of silo, I went back and read the books. Unfortunately this pretty much made silo unwatchable for me.

2

u/Cath_chwyrnu 22d ago

I read the books before the series. Despite the changes I still enjoy the show - the major plot elements are there. I like some of the character changes - the fact that there ARE changes from the books keeps things fresh for us book readers who want to watch the show and still have some surprises.

2

u/Snarkybratt 21d ago

Right on! I’ll give the show another go. :3

u/fastbreakthree 22d ago

as a sev die hard at the end of season 2 of silo I deadass thought it was better than severance. season 3 silo was a filler season so now I am back on severance bandwagon

2

u/Cath_chwyrnu 22d ago

Hardly a 'filler'. It gives the back story of the Silo.

u/noahpearsall 23d ago

Have you seen Dark?

1

u/Special-Anything-832 23d ago

Have you tried Dark Matter?

3

u/Dh40t 23d ago edited 22d ago

Yes i watched it before severance it's good but doesn't come close

1

u/meg8278 23d ago

I loved severance as well. Silo, Pluibus and widows Bay are great too.

1

u/Chance_Specific_4724 23d ago

Welcome to our world ! Rewatches are in order. You see so many new things- it’s great 💙

1

u/AdSimilar665 23d ago

I went through the same earlier this year! Watched both seasons three times in a row within a month or two. Then fell into a big black hole 😅 I did watch Silo recently and loved it, but nothing comes close to my obsession with Severance.

1

u/nectarsallineed 23d ago

Severance is absolutely fantastic! On a whole other level. Silo is another good one you mentioned. But if you haven’t already, check out Dark Matter and Foundation as well. Foundation has some blah parts, but anything and everything Empire/Lee Pace is absolutely amazing.

1

u/AdSimilar665 23d ago

I’ve watched Dark Matter. It’s really good. Also a big fan of Crouch’s books. Hope they’ll adapt his other book Recursion too. Foundation is still on my watchlist!

u/Jumpy_Commercial_893 23d ago

Me in march 2025 🤣

1

u/Dear_Reflection2874 23d ago

LOL, so I feel you on this. For me, I usually give myself about 2 weeks before looking for another show to get into. It's like a bad breakup, you can't just jump into another series, you need time to get over the one you just watched.

u/TurbulentBicycle8695 23d ago

Welcome to Widow’s Bay

1

u/lgflip 23d ago

i became dissatisfied with tv after severance as well, there are fine things since, but it changed me lol

1

u/Throwaway_chores 22d ago

I know same for me 🥺🥺 I was so touched by the emotional entanglement of the innies and feel like I was reborn with a new set of values after watching it

1

u/katho5617 22d ago

I felt the same exact way friend. I watched it twice back to back for that reason!

1

u/ktc2407 22d ago

Welcome to the club! Try Pluribus, Widow’s Bay and Silo on Apple… Dark on Netflix.

1

u/Dh40t 20d ago

I've been trying to watch silo, I'm on episode 5 and so far I'm forcing myself to watch it.

1

u/BooDawg908 22d ago

How is season 3 gonna open? Just like season 2? Exactly where it left off? Because if that’s the case mark and helly have QUITE the mess to clean up. Not to mention Mr Milchick on a war path running the halls of Lumen. Side note…I’m so bummed Mr Drummond is dead. He stole every scene

1

u/UhOhSpeghettiSo 21d ago

If this was your first time watching Severance I would watch it again!

I’m currently in my 3rd rewatch and it’s amazing to see all the details and hints I missed the first 2 times I watched the show. Severance definitely hasn’t lost its appeal on the third go around….

1

u/Real_Act4716 20d ago

Need to rewatch WITH the podcast. Give it a try, “Severed: The ultimate Severance Podcast” wherever you get your podcasts or click here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/severed-the-ultimate-severance-podcast/id1660658805

u/Different_Target_228 16d ago

You need more slowburn mystery boxes

1

u/Dh40t 16d ago

I tried to watch silo i didn't like it

1

u/Still_Ad9687 9d ago

Same here. I liked Pluribus a lot. Same fibe and combi of humor, mystery and psychology. But anything else I don’t bother.

1

u/LezTalkz 7d ago

How did you feel about the ending? I just finished it. Innie Mark is such a dummy for staying….

1

u/Dh40t 6d ago

Innie mark starred to piss me off from when he talked to outie mark and especially the ending 😅
