The Newest 'Severance' Episode Is So Freaking Good I Take Back (Nearly) Everything I Said About the Season 2 Premiere

In my episode one review, I wrote, "After that unbelievable, action-packed season one finale, and a long break between seasons, I am ready for some answers. Hence my frustration that I'm clearly going to have to wait on those." As a reminder, episode one took place entirely within the walls of Lumon, leaving us all hanging about what happened at the end of the aforementioned finale.

I continued, "The first ten or so minutes of the episode are hard to watch...we're about to get stonewalled by Lumon (and the Severance writers) when it comes to getting the answers we've been looking for." Obviously, I went on to praise the episode for at least bringing the gang back together and staying (smartly) mysterious. I even agreed with the season's Rotten Tomatoes rating which stood at 95 percent fresh—but now has risen to a whopping 98 percent.

And the updated rating reflects just how good the latest episode really is. I admit it—I was wrong about the frustrating elements of the show. It was worth the wait, because now we have lots of answers.

Does the flood of action and answers in this week's installment indicate that perhaps I was a bit impatient watching the season premiere? Fiiiiiiine. I'm just so glad that the Severance ball is rolling so quickly once again and that there is plenty more mystery to unravel in the coming weeks.
