rewatched severance and it was insane so here are some things that i love about the show
mark and devon's "m'lord/m'lady" bit. beautiful. no notes
the implication that before helly, the four refiners (mark, dylan, irv, petey) were besties and had bits together (stickyhead, mark farting/making fart noises during petey's announcements, "stand normal"), sang songs together (the elevator song), shared secrets and conspiracies, and deeply trusted and loved one another
dylan's general attitude toward everything, the way he swears like no one i've ever heard and yet in the most pleasing way? (the egg bar is coveted as fuck)
the dichotomy between outie mark thinking ricken is ridiculous and pompous vs innie mark thinking he's so profound. ricken has found his target audience
irv literally losing his religion because of burt. like he literally found love and decided god sucks if he doesn't want them to be together
innie mark saying he hopes he has things he cares about in the real world (i cried)
when helly is looking at the wax figure of (who she will later find out is) her father, and then she walks past a sign immediately after that says "History lives in us, whether we learn it or not."
that's all i have rn but feel free to add ur own bc there are SO many things in this show that make me want to eat my tv
“…Being part of this department has given me the only purpose I’ve ever known.”
“But it has very quickly become clear to me that I’m doing something wrong. I just don’t know what.”
Eeek!! Magsev 001 drops NEXT WEEK!! I am so so excited so I decided to cobble together a little teaser trailer for it! I hope you enjoy and that the hype is real 🗣️
"Or about severance, or about the Magnus Institute."
"Especially about your outie. Got it? This is your life now. Forever."
[JONATHAN S. HEAD OF THE CATALOGUE DEPT.]
"Excuse me- 'outie'? And I know the rest...you already told me that- where are you going???"
[MARTIN B. CATALOGUE DEPT. NEW HIRE]
"Eh, don't worry about him, Martin. Jon just got promoted after Gertrude- our old boss -retired, so his ego is inflating faster than you can say 'kiddie pool.'"
[SASHA J. CATALOGUE ASSISTANT.]
"You're his first intake, so don't take him seriously. We don't!"
[TIM S. CATALOGUE ASSISTANT.]
Martin: Pfft.
