Hi all,
So I decided to take the plunge and try the free trial of apple tv+ streaming service to see what they have going on there.
I have been considering cancelling netflix because they just announced another increase in price and they don't have much I am interested in watching anymore anyway, so I thought I'd try out apple.
There are many amazing looking shows on apple that piqued my interest, namely Foundation, Servant, See, Invasion, and Severance.
I watched the first episodes of each, except See.
Foundation is very good and is based on Isaac Asimov writings and is sooooo science fictiony. I love it. (Asimov books were always in our home when I was a kid; he was my parents fav author.)
But.........
I got hooked on Severance! I binged all the available episodes (6) in one day and cannot wait until next week's episode.
I must say, when I saw Ben Stiller produced and directed many of the episodes I was worried it would be silly comedy, but I was pleasantly surprised. Plus many of the cast are known as comedic actors and they do an amazing job in this drama/weird show.
I won't say much about the plot, but it basically is about this secretive business that requires severing the mind of it's employees where they do not remember their time at work and their work selves do not remember anything outside of work.
Very trippy and cool I must say. Looking forward to where the story is going. I read it already got greenlit for a second season.
It does have a bit of slow pacing and may not be for everyone. The pacing is necessary, I feel, and it keeps you on edge the whole time wondering, "what's really going on?".
Has anyone else seen Severance? Thoughts?
