Out of morbid curiosity I looked at the Reddit for Severance a few times earlier this season. It consists mostly of

  1. very stupid people making extremely obvious observations, or making the simplest possible deductions from the material presented, followed by other people commenting to say their observation is brilliant and they hadn't noticed that ("omg, did anyone else notice that Milkshake got upset from those paintings?");
  2. character quotes from the episode as the entire message;
  3. asinine theories that are completely ungrounded and seem to be based on what the commenter thinks a shocking revelation would look like, regardless of what came before ("I bet Ricken is secretly running Lumon!!"); and
  4. people who, like this article alludes to, complain if the episode requires absolutely anything from them, including their attention.

It's like staring into the abyss.

I’m fairly sure those extremely obvious observations are copied from other posts anyway. When a show is in between seasons it’s even more funny-sad because the traffic is lower and you keep getting posts from people who just stumbled upon it. Watching them rediscover obvious things is like being stuck in a Groundhog Day. My guilty pleasure is r/FromTVEpix.

Eh I always liked discussing each new episode of a show I am really into. Especually when someone points out things i missed.

That's one of the things reddit was really good for.

heck. there were programs based on that so it must be pretty popular. I mean the talking dead anyone.
