Severance (2022)
Good show. Bad pace.
The show spends the first half of the season just building up the mood but not moving the story forward. Within the first two episodes, you sort of know what the world of the characters is - weird corporation, dreary landscape, isolation, etc. But then NOTHING happens. Every episode till the 6th/7th just adds one small reveal (in an hour episode). These initial episodes are just dreary shots of gloomy landscape and dull office interiors with monotonous music. Then suddenly the writers wake up, the show progresses like crazy towards an intense climax BUT you don't you get that as the shows end at a cliff-hanger.
Could have done with some even pacing. The shows offers a new vocabulary for discussing the separation of work and personal lives. Also there is random humour buried in there very subtly which I heavily appreciated. Overall a good watch but dinging stars because of the initial slow movement. Also funny this is made by Apple, a company notorious for keeping secrets! And also making crazy demands of employees to preserve those secrets.
Generation Wealth (2018)
Do not watch. Nothing about Generations or Wealth
This movie is therapy for a person who grew up in a rich neighbourhood in the USA justifying her existence and coming to terms with the opulence and faux opulence and wannabees around her.
