"Latinos make up around 20% of the US population now, but when you watch almost any popular TV show, like Severance, Reacher, Stranger Things, etc., you'd be hard-pressed to find a single Latino with a speaking role."
""You would LOVE severance! The second season wasn't as good but it's the most mind-blowing writing I've ever seen! It's totally worth the AppleTV subscription!""

"There's a vacuum in television these days, left by the absence of shows like Mad Men and The Wire. And it seems to have lead to overstating the greatness of newer series in an attempt to claim television is still as strong as it was 10 years ago. It's not. Enter Severance. A show that is getting all"

"There's no meaningful reason why the Joker movies look like the 70s or that Severance looks like the 80s."
"Retro" aesthetics have gone from being pervasive to being the default · u/Low-Interaction-8763 · ↑111 · 2025-03-09
"The only one I liked was Apple TV+ but even with it there was only a handful of series I actually ended up watching, severance, slow horses and a bit of for all mankind and bad sisters."

"The bar for Tv Shows being considered great is so low right now. I watched some series of the last year which were acclaimed — The Last of Us, Severance and The White Lotus — and they all seemed bland to me."

"The character of Dylan is uniquely positioned amongst the rest of the ensemble, being the only one who has a NORMAL family and home life, to provide the show with emotional depth and INSIGHT into the question of work life balance.
