> Apple apparently now plans to position Severance as a long-term flagship franchise. The show has already been renewed for a third season, and a fourth season is reportedly considered a certainty
Ok, so the show has now turned into Lost and nothing will get resolved. No need to waste any more time watching it.

I don't know why this is getting a negative reaction: there was already a 3 year gap between season 1 and 2, and watching this show originally it felt like a 1-2 season premise.
It becomes a very different show (and yes, probably very Lost-like) if they have to make it last 4+ seasons.

The "Lost" curse.

I loved season 1. Season 2 I thought was great, but to me they opened much more new story than they resolved. I worry season 3 will be much of the same, especially if they’re saying season 4 is basically a certainty. I think severance could have been 2-3 seasons.

I think they've been making a solid pace for the story including answering more questions than I expected, but then I can't help but compare the pacing favorably to both the problematic Dollhouse and the under-appreciated later seasons of HBO's Westworld.

I was ok with it opening a new story at the end of season 2 because it’s a fascinating dilemma and I’m happy they wanted to explore a deeper question about the morality of having two souls in one body and how that affects their humanity.
However, it should end next season. This idea it’s going to be a long term project is going to ruin everything and now I am sad.
