Review of Severance

Apple TV makes some very strange series. This is another one of these. It has the vibe of an episode of BLACK MIRROR, but not the innate brilliance. It is very slow to invite the viewer into the reality behind the drama but once the door opened, I was all in. Unfortunately, it built up to a cliffhanger, and, if you follow me, you know how I feel about that, in a world where second seasons are not guaranteed. I have no problem with a series having a series arc when there is more story to tell, but I firmly believe the writers owe it to their audience to have a seasonal arc that resolves. This was just getting interesting, when it ended. Had it not, I would have given it a 7 (good), maybe even an 8 (great). I give this series a 6 (disappointed fair) out of 10. {SciFi Alternate Reality}
