    Did you create the show and the lore? No? Then how can you say that itā€™s ā€œlosing itselfā€?

    Iā€™m pretty sure Ben Stiller, and the rest, knew where the show was going to go in Season 2 from the start. Just because itā€™s going in a different direction than you thought, doesnā€™t mean itā€™s ā€œlosing itself.ā€

      What a bizarre replyā€¦

      Did you create the show and the lore?

      No.

      Then how can you say that itā€™s ā€œlosing itselfā€?

      I am able to form opinions on the show because I have watched it.

      Iā€™m pretty sure Ben Stiller, and the rest, knew where the show was going to go in Season 2 from the start.

      Oh, yeah no Iā€™m not quoting Ben Stiller good catch, this is my own opinion I formed by watching the show.

      Just because itā€™s going in a different direction than you thought, doesnā€™t mean itā€™s ā€œlosing itself.ā€

      Agreed. Itā€™s losing itself for other reasons.

      Does that help?

      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 donā€™t quite agree Severance is losing itself. The finale firmly sets the path forward.
