Our household is finally catching up on Severance, and...it's slow, y'all. Remember back in the day when TV was written episodically and if there wasn't a lot going on in the mytharc because sweeps was still a month away, there would still be something like a complete storyline within EACH INDIVIDUAL EPISODE??? Severance needs that so badly.
Hey, don't worry about it. Nest full of vampires, you come get me, okay. Box full of puppies, that's more of a judgement call.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Ok, yeah, now that you mention it. I was (and maybe still am) willing to consider it a sort of metatextual commentary on the timelessness and meaninglessness of corporate work but I had to work at it
Leverage:Redemption I stopped watching partway through the first season. Not, iirc, because I didn’t like it but more just Too Much TV. Anyway, recently heard some buzz and decided to catch up and oh boy season 3 is gold! Not to shade seasons 1&2 but 3 is leveled up. I didn’t really realize that the character relationships and the grifts were just a tiny bit off until they clicked into their proper places this season.
AFAICT the only way to see it is through Prime which I do feel guilty about but the anti-billionaire energy surely offsets that on some level

I mean, sure, but I have my actual corporate job for that.

Does not work as escapism, for sure
