Severance - TV series

[Orang Utan]

I like it. I don’t think it’s boring at all. It’s kept me waiting for each episode. Unlike Severance, which didn’t even keep me interested until the end of the first episode.

I like the ‘slowness’ as it gives us space to think about wtf is happening. If it was filled with non-stop action, I’d have had to keep stopping it every few minutes to digest and think about it.

bloody hell, I just looked at available podcasts. There are 52 episodes of the Severed one. Dont think I can quite be arsed with all that.

I hadn’t spotted that one. That’s too much for me too.
I am sticking with the official one and the Streaming Things commentary one. Can’t be arsed with wild speculation ones. Reddit is also full of stupid thoughts from people who have clearly not been paying enough attention.

I’m not sure what people are meaning by the terms “slowness” and “action” here, to be honest. If “action” is people rushing the barricades on the stairs, then I’d be bored if it was all stuff like that. I find that sort of thing “slow”.

I’ll put up with fight scenes if they’re part of a narrative. But not if they’re like the one Lord of the Rings film I saw when I was babysitting the now grownup kids of friends. It was 20 minutes of battle scene before I went and got a book.

Action - if it means chase sequences, fight scenes, explosions - bores me.

If “slowness” means long, contemplative takes with no dialogue or narrative, then there isn’t any of that in Silo that I’ve noticed.

I was talking about Severance. This thread is not supposed to be about Silo!

Sorry, you’re right.
