Season 2 Season 2 Episode returns the biggest problems of the season 1

I have a confession. I do not think that “SERVENCE” is the second coming “Twin Peaks” or some skillful sci-fi saga or the greatest show on television. I’m not trying to come with hot classes – I always felt it. There are several wonderful points in the 1st season, namely at the beginning and end, but most of the middle felt like indicating Bettery Box Shows, but with a very little grounding for great sci-fi ideas. It seemed not related – the “just vibration” approach to genre stories, which selling its many interesting questions about identity and corporate control.

For the most part, I liked 2 Season 2. In the last episodes, there was a particularly good run, with sharp changes in the scenery, the great development of characters and a lot of visual sense of smell in the episode 7, in particular. But unfortunately “SERVENCE” 2 Season 8, Episode 8, “Sweet Squary”, “” Returns many of the same problems that are littered with the season 1: delay that is not related characters and turns that are more confusing than nice.

“Sweet Svyatiol” is a tangent episode, after Harmony Cobel (Patricia Arquette) on the way back to the hometown of Salt’s Shike – a former city of Lumon, which remained breaking up after closing the local factory. Harmony is confronted with the old flame and her sister Sisy (Jane Alexander), hunting for some unnamed subject from her past, which turns out to be the initial plan of the procedure and related technologies.

Yes, Harmony Cobel invented a gap, and the world never felt less. All this time, the episode 8 continues to keep us away from the real show story, which seems to be once again delayed by fear to actually reveal some answers to an increasing number of questions.

It was well established that Lumon is a massive, multinational corporation. We got acquainted with cut off employees from branches in other countries, and we saw a lot of proposals for scale operations. And yet, every turn that “looting” throws it seems more and more. Mark (Adam Scott), Gemma (Disen Lachman), and now, apparently, harmony a The most important people in the world or at least in Lumona, and the whole evil essence of the company seems to focus on the same room.

Perhaps all this will make sense once when it “breaks” begins to share the answers, but so far it seems more interested in taking side roads and showing retrospectives, fearing frustration with real detection. And probably you can say that everything that is important is happening in one office because it is a branch based in the city named after Kierre Igon, so of course it would be more important. But this does not interfere with the turn of the show to make the story feel completely tiny.

A great discovery of the episode can work better for me if we knew something about who is harmony. Although we now know a lot about that She is and where she comes from, the character still feels cartoon and inappropriate. All the additional details about her past are only increasing the same, sad characterization that we had from the beginning: it is “insane” because it was brought up in the cult. And now, when she is perhaps the most important person on earth, and I still don’t know who she is.

Let me be extremely clear: I really liked to see the destroyed city of Lumon. Episode 8, Like the majority of the “Serrance” season, looks great. Location is excellent, rustic energy energy is powerful, and new chants on the disguised Lumona’s work programs add a new, nightmare texture to the company.

But the actual story of “sweet showcase” is a pointless. Harmony is manifested on the neck of Salt after she was fired from her old work, obviously angry with Lumon, despite the fact that it would seem to be glad to return when she was given her original job as a cutting down the floor back. In other words, we don’t really know where at the beginning of this episode the Harmony dedication is, but we just said that it is now full of anti-Lumona. Good.

She is hiding in the bed of an old friend’s truck on a trip to a childhood house and starts raging through the house in desperate searches something. It is very important, but not so important that it cannot afford to take long in the bed in which the mother died while searching. Waking up and snorting a little laughing gas, she remembers the cellar of her mother and almost immediately reveals her original exit plans.

Why? Supposedly, it can prove its role in Lumon’s exaltation, or rather, because the plot requires that someone with extensive knowledge of the output can help note its reintegration.

The biggest that bothered me Season 2 “SERVENCE” 2, episode 8 (in which the shades of the worst “lost” storyline) Didn’t it be further canceled from the true secret, or that the turning goes out of nowhere, or that harmony is scraped. This is the whole mood of the episode. This is perhaps the most concentrated dose of the “break” style, in which we already had, where everyone speaks amazingly, the conversations feel unchanged, and Ben Stilller obviously directs everyone to hide her face and mumble aggressively. It’s like that on the screen a message written in which it is written: “Look how amazing This is. Is this wrong amazing?

Yes, Ben, it’s weird. I realize it’s weird. But there is a subtle limit between effective surrealism and too diligent. “Servence” has a lot of entertaining, original ideas when it comes to corporate sci-fi. I love talking about whether there is a soul and views of society on the verge of a full-fledged cyberpunk-anti-echo. But the show repeatedly insists that what is more interesting, excitedly indicates David Lynch and saying, “I can do it too.” With the exception of what has been proven that it cannot again and again. He just has no magic.

After all, this tone is a matter of taste. Your mileage will vary depending on what specific lines or brands of weirdness attract you into the fictional world, and which ones are pushing off. From the general sentiments, it is clear that most people really love the “gap” and that’s great. People should like things. But I was also ready to start it too, and “sweet showcase” threw me back, which is very shame.
