Severance is one of the most genius shows I've watched in a long time

[@rakahanafi8269]

Agreed

[@NimN0ms]

Seriously. Very well written and paced. Amazing cast too.

[@catha.j.stuart2200]

My friend said it has raised his standards for television 😮

[@Anthony-eo3ro]

This show is the complete package.

[@attiliohollige]

IMO It's the best ever. Not only it teases you and hook you but it actually gives you a sort of satisfaction and really makes you think. And it's not just the idea behind it to be genius but the cinematography, the characters, the editing and, of course, the hidden message.

[@doctormoobbc]

The severance discussion starts at 10:24

[@ZzdeathangelzZ]

The real mvp.

[@Anidoesstuff]

Thankyou

Thanks, man.

underrated show, idk why it took me a year to hear about it!

Because it's on AppleTV

[@jensessions1]

Severence is AMAZING! I’ve never been so relieved than to see there was a 2nd season coming.

[@completelytransparent6320]

the wait is killing me friend

[@jessicathompson6552]

THE LAST SCENE!!

[@tgwnn]

Watching Parks&Rec now, now I can appreciate he's an amazing actor

[@katwashere194]

Severance is the best show on tv and those last 2 episodes were some of the greatest tv I’ve ever seen! Can’t wait for season 2

[@dianag.1997]

Same!!!

[@samueltallman7317]

I love how most celebrities try so hard to be larger than life, and here's Adam Scott painting a very vivid picture of him on his day off just tending his own yard vacuuming up rabbit poop with a hand-vac lmfao

[@williamkjwilliamkj1815]

Never disappointed with what Adam Scott does…Including Severance.

[@fdrstan]

Best show streaming today. BRILLIANT WRITING, ACTING, & DIRECTING.

[@rishabh3920]

I can't stop watching this show. Pure Gold.

[@attiliohollige]

There has been good series and awesome series. After watching the first season I can tell you that Severance is on a complete different level. The actors are simply perfect in their role but there's more. It clearly is a metaphor about the human condition but I still can't quite grasp the enormity of it. Best TV show ever, period.

[@yellowbat79]

I think it's the question that "what are us without our memories and what we learn from them" that attracts many to Severance. This idea of "would I still talk the way I do? Laugh the way I do? Walk the way I do? Fall in love the way I do?" Severance puts questions like that in our subconscious and we try to look for answers through these characters who are going through this experience. I would say "It's simply brilliant" but it's not. It's thought out and surgical, all the way from conception to writing to acting to editing it's all so well done that's why we can't out our fingers on one reason why we love it, we just love "it", everything about it

[@dom3690]

Adam Scott always has the best stories

[@caressajolene]

Usually, I watch for the first fun half of the interview and leave for the promoting part. But, I'm here for the Severance talk!!!! The Marvel shows have so much extra stuff and Severance is so elusive for the week between episodes. I did see the Apple book they put out, which is fun, but nothing like worrying about Helly one entire week and Dylan this week.

[@caressajolene]

Also, I watch a decent amount of Kimmel and I love when he loves a show. But, I get the impression that he didn't care for Ted Lasso, because I watched those interviews and he approaches them different. So, I when I clicked on this - I thought, I hope Kimmel likes this show, so he does a Marvel level enthusiastic fan interview with spoiler seeking questions.

[@finnpeters7867]

@@caressajolene ok thanks for letting us know

[@flala2261]

Severance is SO GOOD 📺 & Adam is Brilliant in it. 🙌🏻 Great actor.

Severance is a MUST-SEE....and the acting is superb

[@sarahj2607]

Severance is one of the best shows I’ve ever seen. Genius

[@loveforeignaccents]

Man has a phenomenal head of hair, probably never has to worry about hair thinning or hair loss; also, curious as to what his blood pressure is, as he always seems strikingly calm.

[@ProductionsHomegrown]

His hands are shaking alot though..

[@hass9510]

I too, always wondered about his blood pressure.

[@DrDre999]

@@ProductionsHomegrown they shake a lot in the show too. I wondered if that was part of his character from the writers insinuating he's an alcoholic, but I guess that's just him

[@im_that_guy]

​@@ProductionsHomegrown Could simply be hand tremors. Although annoying, they can be relatively benign

[@theboogeyman2590]

[@leilanyluna9277]

I haven't loved a show this much since breaking bad. That made me feel something... truly amazing and I cannot believe I binged it. How am I supposed to wait for the second season?? Absolutely genius.

[@ophello]

I suggest Better Call Saul to replace Breaking Bad with.

[@bustingyewls154]

9 months later. Still waiting and expecting to have to wait another 9 months probably lol

[@laurawatters914]

I love Jimmy's laugh, so contagious!! Adam Scott is hilarious! Loved him in Park and Recreation, awesome show!! 😊💓✌️

[@newbro]

It's genuine laugh, unlike the other Jimmy that I know of.

[@Genious.]

Come on, leave Fallon alone. If he doesn't laugh at his own show, who WILL? Certainly not anyone with an evolved sense of humor.

[@Genious.]

If you haven't seen his 'Greatest Event in Television History', please check it out. It's unique and one of the funniest things I had seen in a long time.

[@newbro]

@@Genious. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy Fallons show as well, especially segments like thank you notes, hashtags, etc. However sometimes his laugh is way too forceful which is just cringe worthy.

[@Genious.]

@@newbro I've honestly only seen a few clips that people use to try to convince me that I'd like the show. Late Night for me was finished once Conan was gone. I like Kimmel but I can't sit through any late night shows anymore.

[@abhishekanil5326]

Both Adam Scott (Severance) and Nick Offerman(Devs) really got some acting chops.

[@leonardochapman4736]

Both Adam Scott (Ben Wyatt) and Nick Offerman (Ron Swanson) both really have some good acting skills

[@keylime2998]

Absolutely love Severance!!! …. And yes, our pups love bunny skittles too. Lol

[@merannicuill6435]

Be careful. Bunny poop has leptospirosis in it. I lost a dog to it.

[@HMABH]

BEST PERFORMANCE EVER IN ANY SHOW!!!!!

[@NewMessage]

Just finished watching the latest episode.. I dunno what they're doing at that company, but it better not turn out to be something banal in the end, or I'm gonna throw a fit!

[@doneisenbarth]

They’re trying to sort goats.

[@Whom1337]

I've always just assumed they're working on the severance chips themselves, the "macrodata" being data from different severance chips sent to each terminal. They could be slowly chipping away at different emotions or memories of themselves or others, which would sort-of-but-not-really explain the "scared feeling" when looking at certain groups of numbers. Like the ultimate goal is to produce the perfect severance chip before rolling it out to the rest of the world, making sure there are absolutely no faults. Could be completely wrong too though lol but that's part of the fun

[@SuperToughnut]

Severance is awesome. Need more shows like severance.

[@humming_bull]

Really great show! That opening hallway walking shot was straight out of I Heart Huckabees though.

[@pamelabonaparte9383]

“So hold up a second here “…….😂🤣 hilarious. And yes Severance is brilliant!

[@reidbram]

Gotta admit, I also thought maybe Irving and Burt’s outies might be a real couple and that their true love was able to bleed through into their office selves. I still hold out hope for that.

[@kalevstheworld]

Goddamn, huh?

[@lynnhettrick7588]

I had that hope too.

[@larissatavares4704]

Me too!

[@ninam8583]

yeah like maybe they were ex’s, or lovers who couldn’t be together at another time of their lives omg

[@sitcomsguy1983]

I got chills when they revealed Irv as a painter. This showed to me on some deep level, they weren’t completely severed as Irv has a deep love and interest for all the art on display at work

[@tenzinxingjang]

I’ve been telling everyone I know to watch Severance. It’s a freaking amazing show!

[@DefaultUser3301]

Severance is probably the best TV series in a decade.

[@seeker_2000]

Adams wife : honey how was work Adam : what work?? 🤨

[@lukedeasy2126]

I want to sever myself until Season 2 comes out

[@Arsenal4Ever2019]

Is it me or is he shaking? His hands were constantly shaking throughout the interview🤔🤔. Love Severence!!!!

[@joymac]

He did the same on the James Corden interview,

[@elise.thebookworm]

I noticed this too 🤔

[@xxfiza.]

Either he is super nervous or a struggling alcoholic

[@matta2399]

Watch any of his interviews he's always shaking maybe a condition?

[@lynnhettrick7588]

Best season finale ever!

[@whackbag3606]

Used to make fake ID's at my local Blockbuster back in the day...the machine that made cards could also be used for whatever else.

[@funwithyoutubeee3164]

Can’t wait for season 2!!!!!!😍😍😍😍😍

[@theubercaste]

As all movies, Severance is an allegory of us all. No need to argue about theories when any theory can be the correct one.

[@michaelmoraga2926]

Very Santa Cruz... 💜 Right on, Adam. Greetings from Japan (hometown Santa Cruz)

[@mariepanimdim4303]

Working on movie films are hilarious I was on Gattaca and we wrapped at 9 AM after filming all night and I’m picking up the cones I was a location manager assistant and I look around everybody is gone poof! including the police and they took my walkie🤣 I am in the middle of the busiest intersection in downtown LA so I just sat on the curb and I had no cell phone back then. It took them an hour to realize they left me I still find that funny

[@JuleWeidenfeld]

One of the funniest interviews Ever! I mean, I knew Adam Scott was funny, but this is pure genius! 🤣🤣🤣

[@babypinkfan]

In England you get a pinch and a punch for the first day of the month 🤣 normally quite light on the arm. Was a big thing is school, haven’t seen it being done in the workplace.

[@chewiewins]

Watch him in Parks & Recreation, one of best comedies ever

[@bruceplenderleith838]

"Pinched" in these isles is an old euphemism for arrested. I spent three days in the Santa Cruz county jail (plant abuse). It was lovely. What a great place to grow up.

[@RafaelCabreraAzrael]

Severance is AMAZING

[@susans654]

I just found that out about the bunny poops because my brother told me the same thing -- that his dog just loves them when they are out walking the trails. Ugh. I plan to subscribe to Apple TV+ just so I can watch Severance. Love Adam Scott, Patricia Marquette, John Turturro and Christopher Walken. Sounds like my kind of show!

[@merannicuill6435]

I was surprised at how many quality shows were on it! And beware: bunny poop has leptospirosis in it. I lost a dog to it from her habit of eating it. Rabbit proofed my yard after. Didn't want to lose another like that. It was horrible.

[@Aboleo80]
