Did you create the show and the lore? No? Then how can you say that it’s “losing itself”?
I’m pretty sure Ben Stiller, and the rest, knew where the show was going to go in Season 2 from the start. Just because it’s going in a different direction than you thought, doesn’t mean it’s “losing itself.”
Of course you are entitled to your opinion. I just think “it’s losing itself” comes off more as a statement of fact than an opinion. At least to me. But I guess I misunderstood.
In my mind, at least this early on in a series, only the people who created the show can say if it’s “losing itself.”
I dont know what to say, its my opinion. I don’t think anyone was reading my comment as a statement of fact. I’m just a random person online, no ones treating me as an objective authority.
Other users have different opinions and are free to up and downvote my comment or post a different take and those can be upvoted.
If you disagree with / are interested in having me elaborate on my reasons for feeling like the show is losing itself I worry that might get into spoilers territory though I’m not in principle against that conversation in the right context.
Maybe just leave a comment saying “I don’t think it’s losing itself, it’s been consistently good this season” or something like that and let the upvotes do their thing?
But you started basically from a place of “you’re not the creator so you aren’t allowed to say that” and I cant really respond to that beyond pointing out I am allowed an opinion on it and that’s not a really productive way to open a discussion.
I get your argument, but look at Westworld. It started amazingly but stepped away from what it was and it definitely lost itself. Surely they had a plan as well.
That said, I don’t quite agree Severance is losing itself. The finale firmly sets the path forward.
Its losing itself a bit but still quite good.
Haven’t watched the finale yet, but I agree Season Two has dragged.
They created a lot of intrigue in S1 and now they have to have a payoff
“Devour Feculence” was pretty much the highlight of season 2 for me. I have a weird soft spot for Mr. Milchick.
You are using way too many big words.
Apologize for the word.
Grrrow!
The guy who plays Mr. Milchick deserves an Emmy. His dancing with the marching band in the finale lol

What a bizarre reply…
No.
I am able to form opinions on the show because I have watched it.
Oh, yeah no I’m not quoting Ben Stiller good catch, this is my own opinion I formed by watching the show.
Agreed. It’s losing itself for other reasons.
Does that help?
