Starring, Adam Scott and Britt Lower as Lumon employees Mark S and Helly R, the psychological series sees staff undergo a procedure called “severance”, which divides their work and home lives completely in a daring experiment to find a work-life balance.
In the latest episode, Mark continues his reintegration process with the help of former Lumon surgeon Asal Reghabi (Karen Aldridge), who begins to “flood” the severance chip in his brain.
In a five-star review of the second season, The Independent’s Annabel Nugent wrote: “Bottling the bolt-from-the-blue brilliance for a second season is infinitely tougher, but Severance pulls it off with style, balancing its various tones as expertly and effortlessly as a waiter during a Friday night rush.
Queries about how safe this was soon went viral on X/Twitter with one fan asking: “She really put this over an open wound straight to mark’s brain and called it a day.”.
Mark then goes to a restaurant where he encounters Helly’s “outie”, Helena Eagan, who tells him that she’s heard a lot about his work at Lumon and offers him the chance to meet the rest of her family.
