Ok, Severance on Apple TV is just bat shit crazy...

...and I absolutely love it!!! After than finale, can't wait for season 2. One of the most original concepts I think I have ever seen for a TV show.

Reminds me a lot of Lost which was really good for at least the first half of its run.

But much like Lost, it will need to work hard to maintain mystery without just annoying the audience. I think the best case for shows like this is to set a defined story arc with a planned ending. Having then strung out indefinitely by yearly renewals makes it very difficult to keep from jumping the shark.

But so far, it has been excellent.

Special kudos to the creepy title sequence which I think is the best ever.
