Reply to comment by Sojourner_Truth in Is the show severance worth watching? by lilmajornelson

What you’re saying is mainly correct, but I do think the show gets more compelling in later episodes. So much of the first few episodes were focused on Petey, which wasn’t all that compelling to me (even tho it was necessary to start outtie Mark on his journey.)

The core of the show IMO is the relationships built between the innies and their increasing curiosity about what’s out there. That really takes a couple of episodes to pick up. I think once Innie Mark starts to get on board with Helly the show’s plot really takes off.

Yeah the Petey stuff was probably the weakest subplot.

I'd also say the scene where Helly's outtie sends her the video message was the "I'm fucking IN" moment for me. Up to that point I was thinking sure, cool show, I'll watch it. But at that scene I decided to binge it all in one sitting.
