Severance ✪ ω ✪ (Finale)

I’m so glad I picked up this show. I have zero regrets. I love thinking deeply about the unconscious vs. the conscious. If you haven’t finished the season consider this your spoiler warning.

I LOVE Helly/Helena's character. The moment Helena told Helly she wasn’t a person, that’s when I knew that Helena didn’t love herself, because what do you mean that you don’t consider this part of you, as real 😭?? I love Helly, girly was a revolutionary.

Irving was the GOAT. I love how he grew as a character. And the parallels of his love story with Bert broke my heart. The way his innie wasn’t ready to kiss Bert, but his outie was 😭. He was the first to recognize that Helly was actually Helena, I love him.

I actually didn’t entirely like Dylan’s character. I don’t know how to pinpoint my feelings but I just didn’t like him. I just think his outie and innie are both assholes with no real motive. But I did like how they explore Outie Dylan and Innie Dylan interacting with one another. Especially during the season finale with the letter, where Outie Dylan expresses his feelings and accepts the fact that Innie Dylan is not only him (by mentioning him falling for his wife) but his own person (giving him the option to leave).

I hate Devon and Ricken. I hate them so much. I understand that Devon is Mark's sister, but something about Devon and Ricken gives off white preformism vibes.

Mark is a very interesting character. I feel that it would have been very out of character of innie mark to choose Gemma at the end when he doesn’t know her. There has been a lot of discourse around this, about Mark choosing Gemma or Helly. But I feel like making this about choosing between two women, kinda downplays the whole thing. Mark was already hesitant before Helly yelled his name. This is about his life, if he walks out of that door to Gemma, he doesn’t know if he will come back. Also what about the other innies?

I also want to mention that the way that outie mark handled the whole situation, talking with his innie was fuckin terrible, and it was supposed to be. There was no way that it would have ended well because he never had good intentions to begin with. He tried to make it seem that he care for Innie and his mistreatment but in reality, he never fuckin cared. The only reason that outie Mark did reintegration was due to the possibility that his wife may still be alive.

And I see people saying that innie mark is selfish for choosing Helly, with no plan out etc. In response I would say, that Mark as a whole is a selfish person, like I stated before he never cared about the mistreatment of his innie and literally did anything in his power to get his wife back. Innie mark did the same thing that outie mark would have done, because they are the same person.

Reflections

This whole show makes me think about how I would react if placed in this situation. The biggest thing I can’t predict is who my innie would be. Especially looking at Helly and Helena character and seeing how different they are. So I decided to create a tarot spread “Innie Therapy”.

Additionally, I like to mention that it's pretty obvious that the outie people represent the conscious while the innie people represent the unconscious. I feel that reintegration represents shadow work, the act of accepting your “shadow self”. That's just how I personally view it.
