Severance can blend humor and unsettling energy extremely well. This trait appears throughout the Season 2 finale, “Cold Harbor,” such as the way Mark S (Adam Scott) exits the elevator to the “Victory of Cold Harbor” painting. Framing Mark’s innie as some kind of messiah-like figure is funny when we consider how far from the truth this is, but it also raises the stakes. These moments help to show that Lumon is a threat you may not see coming but is always present.
