[@DaveTexas]

Severance is by far the best TV show to have come along in years. I’ve watched it three times now, absorbing more of the details each time but also finding new mysteries and more questions. This show alone is worth the price of an AppleTV+ subscription. (For All Mankind is phenomenal, too.)

[@makennavann9587]

@@rosswatson3993 Yeah he knocked it out of the park. To me, Milchick kinda has an inhuman, psychopathic personality. Extremely detached and unnaturally charismatic with an unnerving "happy" demeanor. Tillman being able to deliver on that while also being a totally chill dude off screen is remarkable. I see a lot of very incredible actors who are just weird and awkward in real life, like they don't know how to be themselves (identity crisis?) cause they aren't playing a role.

[@SBSlim93]

This show was hands down amazing. Remarkable. Mysterious. Perfect cast. Hands down all kill. Flawless show and I’m such a huge fan.
