I continued with Severance, I'm on ep 1x04, although it's starting to get scary now and I'm not sure I'm up to that at the moment.

As a counterweight, I also continued Somebody Somewhere, have now finished season 2. I thought they glossed over the conflict between Joel and Sam a bit too quickly, but I'm really loving Tricia this season.

Since it was recced here last week, I tried The Pitt, and damn, the camerawork makes me nauseous. That's a pity, because I really like it a lot. I'll have to go through it in ten-minute chunks, I'm afraid. I managed two eps so far. I can see how the plot could be good (I have one guess at what's going to happen later in the day so far), although I don't like the setup of it only covering one day. There can perforce not be much character development in such a short time, at most "from flashbacks to now". And I'm usually always invested in shows for the characters and don't care as much about the plot. Despite all the gore and stress and death, it's comfort viewing for me, weirdly. :D Being Noah Wyle's age, it feels like we both started out on ER and have now come full circle, and that's just so beautiful. (I didn't dare look up interviews with him yet on why he picked the role, because everyone keeps saying that there are huge spoilers everywhere, so I'm being cautious.) But it feels like coming home. <3

I can see why handhelds are used in some circumstances but honestly I think it's become a default due to cost and its effects seem to be ignored.
