Severance
I hadn't watched Severance (Apple TV), even though it's science fiction and has gotten rave reviews.
C had watched the first season and said she'd watch it again, so we started last week, and I'm stunned by its quality. The story is excellent and so is the acting. Plus, the pacing is fantastic. It's not overstuffed and bombastic like so many new shows now. Instead, it's deeply thoughtful with lots of breathing room to assess what's happening.
We're almost through season one and I have a hard time thinking of another science fiction show with this kind of quality in its first season.
I give Apple shit all the time (deservedly) for their octopus ecosystem, but they're still trying to make memorable TV shows instead of mass algorithm-driven filler. Full credit to them.
