Got totally hooked on Severance after fighting it for 2 months

A buddy at a barbecue in Austin kept pushing me to watch Severance. I told him I wasn't into slow office drama type stuff. Finally gave in last Tuesday night and watched the first episode. By Saturday morning I had finished all 9 episodes. Anybody else get surprised by a show they thought they'd hate?

Oh man, that show is a total trap! I went in thinking it was just gonna be some boring corporate thing and then bam, that ending hit me like a truck. The way they slowly peel back the layers of the mystery without giving you all the answers at once, it keeps you glued. I haven't stopped thinking about the goats and the weird wellness sessions since I finished it.

I got a buddy named Mike who started watching that show during his lunch breaks at his construction gig. He texted me at like 10pm one night saying he was on episode 6 and couldn't stop, and then the next day he called in sick just to finish it. The goats thing threw me too, but the part that really got me was the weird hallway that just kept going nowhere.

The trick is to just start it when you have a free evening, because once you get past episode two it's all over. Elizabeth mentioned the goats and wellness sessions, and I think those details are what make the show so addictive, they hook you with the weird little mysteries. I'd say block out a weekend if you can, because trying to watch one episode a night is just going to leave you staying up too late every time.
