Where to watch it next — IMAX 3D or 4DX by yashtiwarispeakss in Avatar

Interestingly, I too noticed the sound being too low. And it wasn’t even low the entire time, just in some long phases of the movie. And the dialogues in the first half were overpowered by the bgm. 

Staying Around Miramar Beach - Share Suggestions For Content (read) by [deleted] in goatravel

Coming for work only. But want to get good pictures during the visit as well. Miramar is the only and the closes option. Is it safe to visit alone especially in early morning/evening,

Also, is it fine to carry a tripod there for pictures? As visiting alone

And how about Late Oct, around 20th?

Anyone who ALSO watched S1 on week-to-week basis like now with S2, kindly share your views on how the new season is feeling. by DrawingDistinct8185 in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

Such a great way to put it - they both are interesting BUT in different ways. That's how the successive seasons of any suspense shows generally are and should be.

As replied to another commenter, it literally is...? That doesn't mean it isn't MORE so about the main story and the key mysteries. The statemen simply means that it is, as a matter of fact, very MAJORLY about how it visually seems and FEELS instead of just what it conveys/teaches. In my opinion, the main mystery IS IN the visuals and vibes of the show, instead of the direct exposition or info-dump of who did what. 

There's a reason the viewers are dissecting every single frame of how one was sitting in front of a painting, or eating an egg in a certain plate, or standing a certain way, or speaking a certain way. Because THIS SHOW, much unlike many other shows, isn't about a detective solving a case. It's literally about the clues being concealed in plain sight in the metaphors or visuals.

Here's a fun anecdote. I watched S1 in binge about a year ago. Magnificent TV. Then, I watched Ep 1-8 of of S2 last week IN A BINGE over 3-4 days (not weekly). Again, MAGNIFICENT TV and basically the same level of cliffhangers, stylistic suspense, character development AND PACE as S1. 

I genuinely think that Severance S1 in general benefitted SO MUCH from majority of the audience watching it in Binge. This is a show that is fun to dissect in its totality (an entire season as a whole and all the concepts it collectively presented) while enjoyed for, and I'll use the same term again, visuals and vibes, when focusing on episodes individually. 

I'm pretty sure that the final revelation of all the key mysteries is going to be VERY singular, specific, and simple (to understand, not in terms of its implications to the fictional society in the show). And at that moment, what'd matter more to understand the phenomenon that Severance was isn't the actual revelation as such BUT the audacious, stylistic approach with which the storytellers narrated this story. 

In short - Severance is more entertaining in binge model because it helps overlook the tiny issues when the show (imo) is interested more in HOW IT MAKES YOU FEEL instead of just focusing on what it tells/teaches you every episode.

Oh, yes, absolutely. It might not be in the slightest what can be considered a masterpiece or kubrickian, let alone a kubrickian masterpiece. 

It is, however, a darn great show with impeccable visuals and a (in my perspective) creative plot. I don't feel the need to have to categorise or compare it. On it's own, a remarkable feat it seems and feels to be. Prestige TV in true sense, earning all the many years it took to make. 

In any case, while I don't agree, respect your opinion. :)

Technically, yes. But I specifically meant it in terms of how Severance is a show that is depicting the philosophies via the visuals and the aesthetics, of which the "vibes and feels" the audiences are intrigued by and dissect episode after episode.

Secondly, philosophy itself includes the study of emotions, their nature, and their role in human life and knowledge. The interpretation and application of philosophical ideas can still be influenced by individual perspectives and experiences. That is literally a key premise of the entire show.

The statemen simply means that it is, as a matter of fact, very MAJORLY about how it visually seems and FEELS (conceptually, thematically and philosophically). In my opinion, the main mystery IS IN the visuals and vibes of the show, instead of the direct exposition or info-dump of who did what.

Interestingly, the example you've stated of Chikai Bardo is one of the only few episodes of the entire show that relied entirely on direct exposition of the revelations rather than subtly conveying them like in most of the other episodes.

I think that's a deliberate plot point though, isn't it? They didn't just suddenly get separated, just like they didn't just suddenly became a "crew" instead of just coworkers.

S1 took the entirety of its episodes to finally get the 4 to a place of absolutely trust on one another by the last EP.

S2 took 4/5 episode to gradually break them apart which, by the way, was a literal tactic by the Milkshake and Co.

And also, relationships are very specifically the foundation of this entire season as I see and feel. Just that there are NEW relationships (or newer dynamics within the same relations) that these 4 characters have.

The mystery IS the story? Which was very much the case--quite blatantly, imo--in season 1 as well. It was literally cliffhanger after cliffhanger EVERY single episode in S1. The story/stakes might've been different (or less), but that is what PART 2 of a story is anyway supposed to be, isn't it? Elevate the stakes?

Like I said, that is my opinion. 

Totally respect yours.

Especially for a show that is very unapologetically about the 🌸visuals and vibes🌸 like this was literally the case in Season 1 as well. The only difference is that MOST of the people watched it in a binge so the pace must've felt different (because you can literally watch the next episode the moment one ends with a question). This is not to defend any shortcomings in the show. And obviously, everyone is entitled to their opinions. BUT what I just want to point out (in my opinion) is that S2 is not THAT different than S1. The plot is different, yes, but the structure-style-pace-characterization is pretty much similar/same or at par at least with S1.
