    Hello Ms. Cobel (Season 2, Episode 1)

    Matt S. and Laci R. provide a spoiler-filled recap and analysis of season 2, episode 1 of Apple TV+'s Severance: "Hello Ms. Cobel." After a three-year absence, the series described by one of our hosts as "the only good show on television" returns... and it does not disappoint. Although it teases you along the way by hinting at the annoying directions it could go. How incredible is the stop-motion animated video by Starburns Industries (Dan Harmon's animation house that also did the Community Christmas special)? How great is it to see our four pals back together again? How funny is Bob Balaban? And what a tour-de-force Tramell Tillman is as Mr. Milchick. And what's up with him, anyway? "Hello Ms. Cobel" was directed by Ben Stiller and written by Dan Erickson.
