    Sorry, I agree with /u/GrumpyDuckling here. The pacing of S02E08 didn’t work at all, and what we learned didn’t actually seem especially interesting. It also seems shoehorned in as she didn’t give the vibes of being that at all in Season 1.

      A bunch of people who have known nothing but binge watching, suddenly need to deal with week-to-week programming…

      This is what good TV shows look like. Sorry. Unless you know the overarching plot of the entire series, you know nothing about the relevance of the episode.

        Huh? My objection to the episode’s writing has nothing to do with Severance releasing weekly.

        Sure, I’m speculating. At this point, I think it was shoehorned in and didn’t seem consistent with Cobel’s role in the company and behaviour in the company in S01. I also don’t think it was well done.

          I can’t speak for you, but the impression I get is that people were expecting severed workplace hijinks, and are upset that they instead got context, backstory and character development… And had to wait another week to get back to the hijinks.
