Severance 1x05 REACTION | "The Grim Barbarity of Optics and Design" | First Time Watching!

[@jasonsypsa7074]

The point of this episode is to show that the surveillance is not as strict as we are led to believe. The trick is to make the severed people feel like they are being watched 24/7 as a deterrent to rebellious behavior.

[@jbacunn]

I bet Arianna never thought she would utter the phrase, "You better follow that goat". 😆

[@ainequesadadiaz3813]

This show is so good at giving you clues but not letting you put them together and it’s as frustrating as engaging, really enjoying this reaction!

[@_Shadoh_]

Yeah it's a little like the show Lost in that you desperately need to know what is going on 😅 just hope the ending will be WAY better than that of Lost.

[@SyrosAlex]

21:14 "She doesn't come across as a full person" - very interesting observation about Ms. Casey.

[@fojemo1661]

I was about to comment! Very great observation

[@TrocarSlushWeasel]

Just started this episode, but there is an interesting interaction between Helly R. and her outie. To the outie, Helly R. tried to murder her. The outie woke up in the elevator being hanged and knows that Helly R. is the one responsible. They are both trying to punish the other now.

[@Kanashimimo]

I love Ricken, he's so superficial and self-centered most of the time, but then he has that very sensitive side of him (his little "I don't want to be like my father" when he was crying on his wife, makes me wonder if he had been abused or if his father was just not there). I'm really curious to know what they're going to do with his character in season 2.

[@Diegesis]

Ricken super grew on me too.

[@BunnLilah]

He's great. I always like pointing out what he said with the kelp hanging part. Asking Mark if he really wants to have the kelp hanging explained is kind of a nice gesture in a silly way. I interpret it as "I know this is weird to you and you're not as into this stuff so I'll spare you from it if you want".

[@jess64792]

Both of you are asking really good questions. So excited to see your reactions to the later episodes!

[@_Shadoh_]

Especially the last episode of the season 😄

[@rayhutchinson640]

I haven't enjoyed so much watching you both react to a series since True Detective. This is so good that I'm eager to binge re-watch you two reacting to this entire series!

[@red2977]

Im loving the coverage of this show. This is the type of show that it pays off to reflect on each episode. You both raise a lot of questions and ideas I had at this point in the show.

[@skandosh9025]

That baby lamb scream scared the shit out of me when I was watching the show.

[@balloonedraccoon2503]

I thought it was a baby. Gave me flashbacks of being high at a party thinking I heard a baby but it was a cat 😂

[@TTM9691]

HA! Watching them decide to do another episode was priceless! Man, both Maple and Arianna were super sharp in this one, they were figuring out everything! I can't remember how much I had figured out by this point. I know I had the same feeling about Helly. But not Miss Casey! You guys are good!

[@BunnLilah]

I love this show. Ricken's book opening up Mark's mind is hilarious. To us it's like superficial nonsense but imagine only ever being able to read handbooks for years while working 24/7 from your perspective. It would finally be a mental break from that place.

[@Vtones25]

Recently subscribed to the channel and Severence is like, the BEST show to come out in the last few years. so enjoying your ladies’ reaction

[@ghostmkc4045]

Been loving yall Severance reactions. I have a selfish request. Could yall watch the show "Mr. Robot?" Its a show that most likely helped inspire this show that came out 5 years prior. Its the best show ever created in my opinion. I feel that yall would dig it since you are enjoying this amazing journey with Severance. :)

[@RobertMorgan]

Maple has a good point, seems like you could sever someone 'to' any certain geographic area, be it a floor of a building, all the way to it only triggering if you are removed from the country. Imagine the spy applications. What if you had multiple severed areas, like you can go in a severed space and read and remember info, and remember it again in another secure severed space, but have no access to the info outside of one of those secure rooms.

[@RobertMorgan]

What about multiple layers of severance, like you sever into your severed floor, but inside that space there are areas your severed self also is severed from your like max security area self.

[@pretzelprints]

I'm really enjoying your reactions to Severance....so happy you're into it!

[@SteelCityJW]

It blew my mind when i found out Harmony was the same actress who played Valerie (love interest) in Little Nicky.

[@TTM9691]

That was the most hilarious reaction to this episode I've yet seen! I've never seen either of these two more irritated by an episode! In the best way of course. I felt the same way at the time. I was like....are they just stringing me along with this stuff? I know they've since finished the series so I can't wait to see episode 7 and 9, more than anything!

[@Zbeast5972]

You guys thinking Ms. Casey isn’t a full person is new to me I never thought about it like that. Someone can be Severed to a different degree

[@kebernet]

Severance is the dark Sci Fi version of "Office Space".

[@jaypee9575]

I had the same thought. Specifically about Peter and the results of his therapy, a somewhat similar concept to being severed.

[@prolific9411]

Liminal space horror/ the back rooms is the best horror out right now

[@nadeeml9276]

Im sure perhaps your Patrons or people in the comments here on youtube have said that 'outside in the stairwell' is outside of the severed area, so far we haven't had any indication that there are separate degrees of severance, so honestly I dont think Milcheck is severed, he's basically like Harmony, I dont think Harmony would want a severed person as a direct underling, it would be way too difficult

[@RobertMorgan]

Wait until they do the remote activation of their innies.

[@nadeeml9276]

@@RobertMorgan you shouldnt be so specific with your comments, it may spoil things for them

[@Diegesis]

theyve already seen the whole show. didnt we put that in the beginning intro?

[@balloonedraccoon2503]

Okay the baby (what i thought was a baby scream) sent me! I paused and turned all the lights on i wasnt playing 😂😂😂. Then when you find out what it reall is it didnt help at all! I was still like wtf!!!😂😂

[@_Shadoh_]

I binged the whole season on one day 😄 just couldn't wait to see what will happen next, and that feeling doesn't get better at all 🤣

[@Sig509]

Kind eyes part was great. Suicides or self mutliations should be way, way more common in the Severance world. Unless some extra mind control is at play, just put yourself in the "innie" place. You are literally senteced for a world of work. No rest, no fun (except to that ordered by HR), not seeing the sun, outside world, not knowing your family, and having just contact with your coworkers, who can disappear at any time from your world. All that so after few years an outie will kill you anyways, when he/she retires. So what is the point? Take the bastard with yourself with a suicide, or force retirements by harming yourself visibly day after day. You, a an innie are dead anyway, so why to keep beeing the puppet of the outie, and Lumen?

[@liqidme]

You shouldn't talk Both at the same time

[@Bonjurro]

I guess you’ve seen everything at this point. I’m going to need to sign up as a patron I can’t wait lol

[@sergiofsa93]

I am a fan of your reactions❤, I recommend the movie Guardians of the High Seas, very exciting about the work of a rescuer and with great actors like Kevin Costner and Ashton Kutcher

[@thefourty-yearoldgamer8289]

maybe next video can be a double feature?? :D :D this show absolutely wants to trigger your anxieties.. heheh, i'm thoroughly enjoying rewatching this through your eyes, so much fun. but, I need More toooouuuhh!! :D :D

[@kakimotoK20]

This is flawed because how can an innie be charged with murder? I thought of this in the opening scene with that old lady

[@freshD.]

I never hoped someone would kill themselves so much

[@shainewhite2781]

Happy July 4th!

[@darkphoenix2]

"it's definitely a baby lamb or something scary" what?

[@Diegesis]

lol they're animals often used in ritual sacrifice is why it's scary. they were worried they were gonna walk into some ritual

[@menezessilva3007]

@@Diegesis or it could be a human baby but the brain thinks goats!

[@IanHillan]

Omg you have no idea how much willpower it's taking not to say more about Miss Casey. You should just binge the rest of it.

[@Diegesis]

they already have. the rest has been on patreon for a week or two.

[@bawzzzz]

11:59 always the worst timing

[@TorchySmurf]

OMG Chad😂

[@nickblood7080]

This is in no way a cult. I am not sure what clues say cult but it's just not a cult.

[@Diegesis]

uhm the shrine that cobel has in her house screams cult pretty loudly.

[@thedukeofnuts]

It's cult-like. The employee handbook with all those rules should have given you a clue...

[@thedukeofnuts]

@@Diegesis That seems to be Cobel's personal thing. The company itself does have cult-like elements to it though.

[@menezessilva3007]

It's a technological cult they are mapping how the mind works !
