Reviewer: Quinn

Severance is a very very funky show. I’d say 90% of the show, you have no idea what’s going on, but then when the curtain starts getting pulled back, everything starts snapping into place, and you yearn for more. The show felt a little slow to me, but I believe that’s because I wanted to know what was going to happen so bad that it made the show slow down. Also, when I say it’s funky, I mean one very serious moment will get broken up by the most random and hilarious scene you can think of.

Review Scale Below

On this scale, fewer beers means a better movie. If a film keeps you so engaged that you don’t need a drink, it scores low. The more beers it takes to get through, the worse the movie was.

  • 1 Beer: Great — only one beer for fun, not survival.

  • 2 Beers: Decent — had a few slow parts, but still enjoyable.

  • 3 Beers: Meh — starting to need drinks to stay entertained.

  • 4 Beers: Rough — alcohol improves it more than the plot does.

  • 5 Beers: Terrible — only bearable if you’re too buzzed to care.
