This is a recreation of a fictional computer program from the excellent Apple TV show - Severance.

The work is mysterious, and important.

Season 2 is going now. It’s one of my top 3 shows of the last decade, highly recommend it.

What are your other 2?

Severance could well get into my top 3, but currently I think mine would be: Mr. Robot, Breaking Bad and Wednesday.

I enjoy shows where I get completely engrossed in the world and the story. I love shows that I can fall in love with again on a rewatch. And I want to have lingering thoughts about it when it’s over.

True Detective S1 (2014) is perfect television, but is too old for the last-decade list.

The only other definitive Top 3 is Dark (Netflix)

Other candidates:

- Frieren

- Better Call Saul

- Arcane

- Midnight Mass

- Counterpart (underrated)

- Andor

Have you watched LOST?

If not, don't read anything on the internet (you'll get spoilers in search results) and give it a shot.

I watched when it was originally aired, but never came back to it. It didn't come together in the end in a satisfying way.

Hehe, I'm essentially the only person I know who loved the ending.

I appreciated that it was a tribute to the characters we'd grown to love, and also kind of a middle finger to the plot bits that didn't line up perfectly.

I'd rather watch a show with plot gaps and great characters than a perfectly plotted show with middling characters.

I’d love for one of the streaming services to take another crack at Lost. Desmond in the hatch is some of my favorite TV ever.
