Severance Season 2 premieres Jan. 17 on Apple TV+, with a new episode every week. Belen Edwards is an Entertainment Reporter at Mashable. She covers movies and TV with a focus on fantasy and science fiction, adaptations, animation, and more nerdy goodness.

The sci-fi series was hailed as a dark, timely satire of office life—but its return is bogged down by abstract ethical conundrums and rote emotional ones.

We have waited three long years for Severance season 2 and according to critics, it was very much worth the wait.
