one of the best shows i have ever ever seen. i love the artistic direction and the back rooms style atmosphere. can’t wait for january 17th

I appreciate your comparison to mother! and the feeling of being completely trapped within the world of the film. Also a character note: it's terribly important to note that Paul refers to the famous painting wrongly as The Shriek. Another indication that he does Not belong in this world.

whats the song here

I think outtie Irving is doing that with a purpuse. He is shown to be on a quest to expose lumon and it seems like he is desperatly trying to stay awake all the time so that his innie will fall asleep on the job, probably outtie Irving believes that by doing so he will manage to get some conscious time while in lumon

Thanks for mentioning the score, which is haunting and perfect

Brilliant video essay. 👏 (The intro was just absoulte perfection)

The true Evil of Severance is that it takes 2 years to follow up on the first season of Severance.

Why does it take 2 years to film the second season of a 10 episode season streaming series???

I have been in a weekly film club since the beginning of COVID. Love it for how I now read the reviews and we drill down. This must be the last Scorsese film picked. I don't really like the film but you make a great case. I'll reconsider. Excellent work on your part.

I love u dads❤

6:33 Aeroplanes Over the Sea Reference?? 👀 🥁

This movie was a fever dream

Hidden gem is spot on. The film I often go to when people ask for "your underrated" movie choice. It may be better know perhaps if it was not Scorsese's and wasn't beaten out by Taxi Driver and Raging Bull. But this is worth its own viewing. Bit rock n roll, reminds me of Won Kar Wei talking about making Chungking Express: I needed some fun not making an epic and let my creative juices flow

This is really great work. I love the way you put the essay together, the pacing, the soundtrack, and the insights you offer- finally, the questions you end on and your own personal experience. Severance was one of those uncomfortable nine hours that I couldn't stop watching despite the overall sensation of ennui and instability the show creates. Thanks for putting this together.

Please, I beg you, make more videos

you have a beautiful way with words would love to see more content like this

Great video dude I'm glad I found it.

i found no humor in my viewing of this film, the only emotion i truly felt was anxiety and fear

Beautiful video. Thank you for making it.

I’m cheering you on buddy

Mate im just a mentally nobody that has fucked up evrrything i have ever touched. Butni nedsed this video mate so thanks. One of my favourite shows but your words moved me incredibly, especially the end. Again thankyou

Phenomenal video essay. Pacing and tone against the information provided was excellent. Are you writing screenplays? Regardless, great work!

What struck me most about the series was that I realized that the innies felt more alive than the outies and now I use it to see if I'm in outie or innie mode, it made me realize that I was living on automatic, it's ironic because they are locked up but they have the desire to break free while the others are the opposite.

I’m impressed he didn’t cast himself in the show, he could have easily cast himself as Dylan but didn’t

“Catatonically bummed out” is my new favorite phrase 😅

Such good quality video essays always shine a different light on the discussed material, and I feel like I can experience the product again in a way and on a level, that never occured to me by just watching the series. This video essay adds a new layer to the show and is just so masterfully scripted and presented, that I'm instantly subscribed. Keep pushing on, *andewr*, keep writing those words. We're here for it and cheer for it!

Its a great film, reminded me of eyes wide shut. Just watched it for the first time 😊

Great analysis, the inherent sadness of it all. A question though: What music did you use for this video? It’s so meloncholy and relaxing, exactly my vibe haha.

This is beautiful. Have been obsessed with the show since it came out, and getting super hyped with the Season 2 release date. But this video actually wrecked me just now. Just got diagnosed autistic last week, and a lot of the concepts and ideas you were addressing, while masterfully breaking down the show, also hit home in a brand new way. Thanks for making this, my guy. 👌🏻🫶🏻

fuuuuuuuuuck this hits

Watched it a couple of days ago. Didn't really connect to it humour, thought it was a solid 6/10 film but nothing more

Music too loud

This show is so affecting and clever in its simplicity. It’s funny and philosophical. And then, it elicits huge feeling from those unnoticed moments when the mundane and the salient elide and coalesce into Ansari’s auteur disposition. And then there’s a distinctly foreign quality to it divulged in its influences and homages.

Apple kinda made this to take a dig at IBM but they're accidentally roasting themselves with it.

Thanks for these videos

video starts: who are you? me: nope

But Aaaaannnndrrrreeeweew!!!!!

i actually started watching severance because of me stumbling upon this video essay due to the title referencing the Smashing Pumpkins album lol.

I really enjoyed this video. Whatever you post I'm here for. Please just keep making content as often as you can. Also born in Illinois 🤌

If your not in it 100% Why be in it Profound words from a healthy young man who has healthy examples. That is a blessing. Throw in trauma, especially childhood, or a bit of ADHD, or addiction, or ……. Life’s curve balls make even those who thought they were 100% in it, not.

Incredible video man. Cheers!

Masks forgot to be worn as lives.

I haven't watched the show, but the topics you talked about and the questions you reached were very intriguing. I watched the whole thing. What do we do when we sad? It is a question I think any of us have to answer on our own as one answer would not satisfy the other. I can't say I know the answer for myself as clear as I would like. Though, your video helps me think about it. Thank you for your video and your thoughts.

This is when fiction peaked, nothing gets better than this.

I was going to like this video but then you said white like it was a bad thing so...nah

I remember watching this film as a kid late one night in the 90s and I loved the almost liminal atmosphere throughout, especially the feel of his workplace

ive watched this show 6 times over and over again, and everytime i learn something new. the last episode i took into heart because my grandma told me something similar before she died. i get remembered of her everytime i watch that episode. I appreciate the midnight gospel so much.

He won Cannes for it

love the videos man keep up
