Woe's Hollow

I have never felt the need to rewatch an episode immediately after watching it. Until this one. Absolutely the most unique episode of the entire series and I'm not even sure if there's a way to top it. From the cinematography to the acting to the tension between the characters that just kept building up until the end. This was an absolute masterclass of an episode and it blows my mind that this is the fourth episode of the second season. Every single detail in this episode had future implications and I'm not quite sure I've seen an episode so well done. Especially not from a show in its SECOND SEASON. Wow.

Ben Stiller and his writers are being awesomely experimental with this second season. I respect them for not making it safe and formulated to follow the highly successful first season. But it is also risky. If this doesn't all come together they will lose the audience. But I have faith in them. So far.

Goats, Team building occurrences is frozen forests and founding fathers that seem to have dealings with the occult are all tantalising storylines but I just hope it can be neatly stitched together into something feasible by season's end. This episode was a nice break from the sterile hallways of their office too. Dylan shone in this episode because he looked just as confused as the viewers. But again, I trust these guys, we will get the answers soon enough.

Masterfully acted throughout. John Turturro is ELECTRIC in this episode and if he does not win an Emmy for this I will be gobsmacked. This episode showed that the Severance creators are not in the slightest bit afraid to take a risk and turn their tried and tested formula on its head to create an hour of truly peak TV. Woe's Hollow is a genuinely unsettling and unnerving episode, peppered with rising tension building into an explosive finale that well and truly sets the stage for a barnstormer second half of season 2. It finally gives a definitive answer to a question that has been looming large over this season, but as is usual with Severance, raises another thousand in its place.

I never write episode reviews but man.. I came here seconds after finishing this.

It combines the best parts from series like Fargo and Mr. RObot( also amazing television)

Where should I even start? The INCREDIBLE direction and the breathtaking visuals? The never ending climaxing plot leading to one of the greatest episode finales that I have ever seen.?

This episode wasn't just television-it was an experience. It left me speechless, breathless, and somehow craving more(even tho I dont mind waiting a week for the next one)

I felt like I had already witnessed perfection. Now Im wondering..if 4th episode is such a crazy ride, can the showwritters surpass that?

What a stunning piece of television. It's so refreshing to see a bold and unusual approach to storytelling in a time of oversaturated media. Tense, challenging, and I feel caters to those of us who revel more in the asking of questions than in the answering - reminded me of the glory days of Lost.

The bleak setting brings a new angle to the ever present frame of ominous isolation that the Innies exist within; whilst still keeping the small creature comforts, that we know to have motivated them in the past, in their world. It's exciting to experience these characters in a wildly different context. I need to go back and listen to the story read from the book again to see if I can glean extra meaning from it!

Phenomenal performances from both John Turturro and Britt Lower.
