Same for me. Severance is probably the best show of last decade. The last time I had such an engrossing experience was while reading 1984. My other two are: - Shogun (The depiction of 1600s Japan is so real) - Resident Alien (Funny and heartwarming to see an Alien getting accustomed to life on Earth dealing with complex human relationships with their flaws) PS: I am sad to exclude Parks and Recreation which ran from 2009-2015 so probably considered outside of last decade.

You'll find halt and catch fire equally engrossing. Give it a shot!

  Totally liked Halt and Catch Fire. One of the best I have seen.

Counterpart! (That, by the way, is where Severance seemingly got the inspiration for "The Board")

  Counterpart was so good and I was so sad to see it cancelled.

> Resident Alien Interesting. I thought the premise had potential, but found the writing unbearable. There were major plot holes in the universe they created withing the first 10 minutes. It just didn't make sense. The dialogues and acting was bad on top of that. Didn't even finish the first episode. That being said, the series has OK ratings and was renewed several times, so it might be me not giving it a fair chance.

  You should give it a try and watch the S1 entirely. Based on your comment, it seems like you are watching it with a different lense. It is not a drama or thriller where you'd look for holes. It is about perspective of someone who is new to this world trying to blend in.

I found Shogun the show to be relatively disappointing, after having read the book before. The book has a lot of nuanced explanations of people's motivations and philosophical/intelligent dialogue that the show just skips over, since they wanted to cover a huge tome in just one season. This series deserved to be 2X longer to cover those imho.
