Severance TV series review
A netizen wrote that it was a 'eerie & ominous' and a bit off-beat. A Twitter user shared that it was the 'right kind of suspenseful thriller' with immense 'mysteriousness' to it.
'Ridiculously good' was the comment by one, while it established itself as the 'favourite show' for one within the first two episodes itself. For another, it had become a 'TV obsession', calling it 'disturbing, funny, weird and plane dystopian'. It impacted one so much that he could not get it out of his head.

#Severance from @AppleTV and @RedHourBen with @mradamscott is eerie & ominous & just a little off beat. It’s the right kind of suspenseful thriller with a lot of mysteriousness to it. I’m hooked & can’t wait to see more!! https://t.co/5H020KzXbL

Among the only drawbacks for the series was the 'disconcerting' feeling that one got on watching it. The netizen shared that there was a 'constant feeling of dread and despair' while watching the show. A netizen described it as 'wild' and that one had to understand what was going on, while another netizen shared that it was 'too high concept' for him/her.
The show, Severance, is so disconcerting.
