Severance & Adolescence + Best/Worst Fictional Workplaces

We’ve got a double bill of TV reviews in this episode, starting with Severance Season 2! Now that the innies have discovered the truth about their outies, what do they do next? Will Helly R, Mark S and Irving B ever be liberated from their never-ending nine-to-five? We discuss if season 2 is just as addictive as the first. Next, we discuss the most talked-about miniseries on Netflix right now – Adolescence. The harrowing but relevant series follows a 13-year-old teenage boy, Jamie who is arrested for the murder of his classmate, Katie. Each episode is one long continuous take, offers different perspectives and focuses on themes such as alienation, bullying, and the influence of toxic online sexist subcultures. And then on Take Two, we talk about the best and worst workplaces in film and TV.
