The series centers on a world where individuals can become “severed” from their work selves.

Therefore, two versions of them exist: one inside the office and one in the outside world.

In this way, I’m eagerly awaiting where the show will go next.

However, the quality of the show dropped significantly only one season later.

…whenWestworldseason 2 tried to add even more complexity, it was overwhelming.

I believewhat went wrong withWestworldwas the show trying to get too big too fast.

In general,Westworldintroduced a loaded plot.

Once they understood the basics, the show really came to life.

I now have expectations that the showrunners need to meet.

Severanceseason 2 is slated for release on January 17, 2025.

Without proper time or effort, a new season could easily fall flat or miss the mark.

I’m dying to learn more about Lumon, its goats, and the story behind Mark’s wife.

There are also aspects ofSeverance’sworld that have barely been explored at all.

I also believe thatSeverance’sstrangeness is equally pivotal.

The show stands out from other sci-fi series because of its specific premise and design.
