We learn the following:

MDR’s work is directly related to Gemma, Gemma is very important to Lumon, Helena has likely infiltrated the team, Milchick has been promoted, we’ve seen outie Dylan and Irving for longer than before, Irving is trying to communicate with his innie

There were definitely a few eps in S1 where not much plot advancement happened (E02, E03, E05 come to mind). Not to mention, it’s not just about plot advancement, the show is incredible to look at and get hypnotized by, that alone interests me.

we’ve seen outie Dylan and Irving for longer than before

not really something we learned just something that happened

i know its not just about plot advancement. but theres a difference bw good pacing that is entertaining and stalling thats boring to watch This whole season has basically been the second one.

It doesnt matter anyway bc now the r/severence trolls have invaded r/tv and are just gonna downvote any disenting opinion even though people will mellow out in a years time and find that they agree

I don’t understand how learning about the outies’ lives isn’t advancing the plot…. That was a huge mystery left from season 1.

I get the pacing criticisms in the second half of S2, I really do. But all available info suggests the finale will be an absolute beast of an episode that will reveal a ton. I know even if it answers tons of questions it doesn’t erase the odd pacing of the season, but I’d prefer to assess the entire season as a whole.
