Severance season 2 lands near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score

Severance‘s long-awaited second season has landed a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.

The Apple TV+ series that centers around employees at the enigmatic Lumon Industries, where their job and personal memories are divided, was last broadcasted in the year 2022.

Following the thrilling conclusion of season one, viewers have eagerly anticipated the sequel. However, is it a satisfying payoff for having waited so long?

Based on critical feedback, it appears that the second season has garnered an impressive 98% positive rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Critics have commended the series for its relevance, which seems disturbingly familiar – however, there were a few points of contention raised by some reviewers.

Here’s what they’ve been saying:

Entertainment Weekly

Dan Erickson’s highly acclaimed Apple TV+ series is back for a second season, moving at a swift pace. This season delves deeper into its various topics, presenting a contemporary, engaging, and thought-provoking discussion on the boundaries and influence of individual identity or ‘personhood’.

Variety

Regardless of where the series “Severance” ultimately leads us, its portrayal of the rigid regulations and segmented structure of contemporary work life is more impactful than any other television show currently airing.

Radio Times

Although it took some time to get started, ‘Severance’ certainly knows how to deliver. It harmoniously blends together, making it enjoyable to revisit and something you wouldn’t want to miss out on updates about.

IndieWire

Despite piling on additional elements for Season 2 of “Severance“, the show manages to avoid feeling overly cluttered, sluggish, or overwhelmed.

The Daily Telegraph

This program is exceptionally intriguing, unlike anything else on television. It challenges your thoughts deeply, often leaving you puzzled, even as it ventures into realms created by its own imaginative prowess, sometimes veering towards the abstract.

The Hollywood Reporter

The season often becomes gloomier, seldom brings laughter, and may not be any more fulfilling – yet it seems to resonate, if at all, even more eerily with our personal experiences.

Severance season 2 will premiere on January 17 on Apple TV+.
