I wish severence would have ended at season 2, exactly the way it did. I'm bracing for dissapointment.

[–] Suburbanl3g3nd@lemmings.world 2 points 12 hours ago

Or Ted Lasso at season 3. Ugh

Why? I feel like people are looking for reasons to be disappointed with that show. It's bizarre.

[–] GrumpyDuckling@sh.itjust.works 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Because every popular show gets milked to death and executives start interjecting stupid ideas and ruin it. They already had a filler episode in season 2.

It's not a filler episode just because it doesn't include the main characters. The episode where Cobel goes home provided a shit ton of context and back story. For example, ether mines? Everyone in the town huffing ether and in some bizarre capitalist cult that used child labor? The fuck? That just made me want to know more about all of that shit.

How/why is that filler? Unless I'm wrong about which episode you're referring to, which I doubt.

It was five minutes worth of content stretched into 45 minutes. It was boring af. We learned that she designed something, but other than that, we didn't really get anything out of it.

I love the first two seasons of Severance, but even if the third will be bad, it won't affect my feelings towards the first two.

Unless it's GoT season 8 levels of bad, but that's probably not possible.

You say that, but sometimes a continuation is so bad that it like goes back in time and somehow taints your memories.

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

Yes, that's what I said, and I said it's unlikely.

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 1 points 8 hours ago

Right like GoT, i see what you mean. I still like my time travel imagery
