"The season-one finale of Severance pushed its audience to the farthest edges of their seats then left them there, off-balance and out of fresh oxygen," says Jen Chaney, adding: "This is how cliffhangers work. They overload our nervous systems, leave us a little breathless, and yes, make us frustrated. The really great ones — and the end of this season of Severance qualifies as a great one — should feel like the narrative equivalent of an almost-sneeze or coitus interruptus, except, like, in a good way. The pleasure comes from being almost satisfied but not quite, luxuriating in the possibilities that the (hopefully) inevitable satisfaction will bring."
