David and Patrick discuss the Netflix series Adolescence, then dive into your reactions and theories about Severance season 2. What did we make of the one-take filmmaking of Adolescence? Was the journey through the show worth the pain? And what about the end of Severance season 2? What did we think about the other possible endings there could have been?
