I've enjoyed it a lot, its had a fun "LOST" feeling when LOST was actually good, and Hella's reveal as an Outside was awesome.I will say that the Lumon management is COMICALLY inept at security...but I think that is a callout of corporate management in general, which yes can seem pretty comically bad at their jobs at time. But yeah I have to keep reminding myself of that as I watch otherwise its too easy to detract from the show.My biggest disappointment was Milchik. When Milchik left the book and the Innies found it.... it never came up again. Milchik didn't even try to find it. I thought for certain it meant Milchik was secretly trying to help the Innies, a way to start spreading ideas and sow the seeds of revolution. And then....nope Milchik seems 100% Lumon....its just a plot hole they never shored up.One thing I am struggling with on the plot. At the beginning I got the sense that Lumon was just some mega corp that controlled everything...and so the idea of the Innies just basically being in prison I could buy. But as the show goes on, we learn Lumon is still on shaky ground, they are having to run PR campaigns to even keep Severance going, for there is a real risk that government will shut it down. And so.....how in the holy hells has there been no inspectors to check in on the Innies well being? I mean for pete's sake, we have building inspectors, safety inspectors, food inspectors....government loves to inspect things!!! You cannot tell me no one thought "hey we are locking people away in a corporate building for 8 hours a day, and they won't have any memories of what happened.....maybe we should check in on their safety once in a while?"hehe I guess everyone is just comically inept in this show<img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
