It’s a great show that doesn’t pull punches on dealing with problems head on. No one is safe from feeling helpless in this series.

Not once have I heard of it. The premise is interesting however. If done properly it might be fun nay interesting.

Truth be told though, I've been burnt with ATV so many times that I've stopped trying. They have this fascination for extreme slowness and visual masturbation that I just can't withstand

I hope S3 of Severance is better than S2.
Or at least prompter.

At this rate, S3 is going to be Mark S's retirement party!
