This week’s episode of Severance was more than just a mini-movie. It was an epic mini-movie that felt bigger and more impactful than everything we’ve seen this season combined

The season two finale of " Severance " was an epic mini-movie that felt bigger and more impactful than everything we’ve seen this season combined.

After episode upon episode of teases and questions, the episode finally sat us down and said, “Here's what this means, here's what that means, and how do you like it?” We got answers to big questions, endings to major stories, and, of course, so many additional mysteries we barely know where to start.

The episode is a total 180 from everything else we’ve seen up until here.

After two long sections filled with tension and emotion, the finale needed a release valve.

Episode director Ben Stiller shoots all of this in extreme close-ups that give the conversation an added element of emotion and intimacy.

This episode was an unexpected, yet welcome, change of pace.

It took an almost Coen brothers twist when Mark 's outtie reemerges and mistakenly fires the bolt gun into Drummond ’s throat, killing him as blood shoots everywhere.

Dr. Mauer and Jame Eagan watch on with frothy delight as Mark enters Cold Harbor .
