“Severance” season 3 is official.
We initially reported thatseason 3 was in productionin February.
Apple even dropped a brief teaser for the third season of theApple TV Plusthriller.
Here’s the thing though I think I’m out.
The events of “Cold Harbor” may have provided closure on some fronts.
That teaser obviously uses clips from season 2, as season 3 has yet to be shot.
It’s also clearly trying to avoid spoiling the events of the season finale, which is commendable.
But it shows a Lumon operating as if things are business as usual, which they are definitelynot.
At the end of season 2, Mark has inarguably thrown Lumon into chaos.
So, in short, things are not business as usual.
That said, what I’ve described above can be boiled down to a relatively traditional story archetype.
Mark S. and Helly R. are star-crossed lovers, no different from Romeo and Juliet.
“Severance” did all those things though.
It gave us an incredible, rich world and peeled back layers of science-fiction technology and cults of personality.
Ultimately though, “Cold Harbor” proved that what made “Severance” special was mere window dressing.
Are there things about “Severance” still to be commended?
The show is, at times, a technical marvel with impeccable score and cinematography.
