''Severance'' Review Without Spoilers

Alternatively: A Spoiler-Free Review of "Severance"

Yesterday, I watched the final episode of thea TV show called Severance.

It is a conspiracy thriller series with elements of psychological drama, detective, and dystopian Ssci-Ffi.

In natural (informal) English, we would use a lot of contractions, but formally written English apparently forbids it.

"Detective" on it's own as a genre sounds a little awkward to me. Maybe "mystery"?

Unless if it's written as a title, "sci-fi" is always lowercase.

It has struck me how was left speechless. It is such a superb it wasshow!

This sentence is pretty awkward, and I don't really know how to correct it. A native speaker would probably say something far more simple like this.

Hence, ISo, I have decided to write an essay about it.

"Hence" is something that, as far as I'm aware at least, isn't widely said. We'd say something like "so" instead.

Soon after it's first release, more than three years ago, the series gained popularity among the critics and fellowother viewers.

"It's" is the contraction "it is". "Its" without the apostrophe is the possessive. This is how it works in formally written English, at least.

A few months ago the second season came out, gaining the praises of fans, and soobut then it was prolonged again.

"Praise" is an irregular noun that doesn't have a special plural form. Similar to "deer".

"It was prolonged again" works in contrast against "the second season came out", which means that "and soon" doesn't feel right. It feels more natural to say "but then".

I greatlly enjoyed the magnificent camera work, the appropriate music, the riveting plot and, of course, the outstanding performance from the actors' play.

"Greatly" is just a little fancy, and might be used for more extreme, special things.

"Actors' performance" might also work, but I think a native speaker would lean towards saying "performance of the actors" even though it's longer.

His distinctive feature isThe thing that is special about him, however, is that he has committed the so-called severance procedure.

"Distinctive feature" is something I would use for a physical part of the body. In fact, "feature" in general tends to mean physical things more than anything else. I would instead say "what's special about him (is...)". Or, to avoid the contraction, maybe "the thing that is special about him (is...)".

ItWhat this means thatis he has installed a chip in his brain that has divided his memories into work and life parts.

This is just a little bit more natural.

In other words, he has created a very copy of his very personality just for work.

Whenever Mark Scout enters the "severed" floor, he turns into his working personality, also known as Mark S.. Everything All that Mark S. has are three colleagues, lunch breaks, and "melon parties" at the end of each quota.

I might say "whenever" because this is something that happens again and again instead of just once at a specific time, but "when" can also work.

Although the "S." in "Mark S." ends in a period, at the end of a sentence, we would get rid of that extra period anyway.

He lives in a never-ending loop of mundane work, which comprisesd of moving numbers into various folders on his computer.

To "comprise" is to make up something. When talking about what something is made up of, we say something "is comprised of ______", not "comprises ______".

Mark S. has neithero clue of neither the purpose of his monotoneous work nor why would his "outie" (Mark Scout) would agree to the procedure.

After several years of employment and a sequence of certain events, both Mark S. ansd Mark Scout decide to rebel...

I don't think formal writing allows the ellipsis ( ... ) to be used anywhere except within quotes, but I may be incorrect. I know informal English better than formal.

Although almost every episode ends with a cliffhanger, there are a plenty of actions occurring in the middle of each episode that have a significant influence on the storyline.

Despite of it'sits purpose being entertainment origin, I have found Severance to be pretty deep and sometimes even thought-provocking.

Alternatively: "In spite of its purpose being entertainment..."

When using the word "despite", we won't use "of".

It is a conspiracy thriller series with elements of psychological drama, detectivemystery, and dystopian Sci-Fi.

I think it would sound more natural to say "mystery". We usually use this noun to describe these types of shows/movies, and it would kind of be implied that "detectives" are involved.

It has struck me how superb it was!

Or "it struck me how superb it was". I think this is slightly more natural. I would tend to say this more instead of "It has me struck" - but also still correct.

A few months ago the second season came out, gaining praises ofrecognition from fans, and soon it was prolonged again.

I greatly enjoyed the magnificent camera work, the appropriate music, the riveting plot and, of course, the outstanding actors' playquality of the acting.

Not incorrect what you wrote, but this would be more natural in my opinion.

The storyline covers the story of Mark Scout, an unremarkableordinary 9-to-5 office worker.

His distinctive feature is, however, that he has committed the so-called severance procedure.

Mark S. has neitho/zero clue of the purpose of his monotone work nor why would his "outie"(Mark Scout) agree to the procedure.

After several years of employment and a sequence of certain events, both Mark S. ansd Mark Scout decide to rebel...

Despite of it's entertainment origin, I have found Severance to be pretty deep and sometimes even thought-provocking.

I wish there were more shows like thatis!
