Season 2 of Apple TV's hit psychological thriller Severance is receiving high praise from critics ahead of its January 17 premiere. If you need to catch up or refresh your memory, Amazon has a great deal on the recently released Blu-ray of Severance Season 1. Normally $43, Severance Season 1 is discounted to $25.79.

Now's a great time to sign up for Apple TV+. Along with Severance, Mythic Quest Season 4 premieres later this month (January 29), and it will be followed up by the spin-off anthology series Side Quest in March. In addition to the two premieres, you can catch up on Silo--an excellent adaptation of Hugh Howey's great sci-fi novel Wool--ahead of its Season 2 finale on January 17.

Severance Season 1 on Blu-ray

$25.79 (was $43)

Severance was GameSpot's pick for the best TV show of 2022. The sci-fi series is set in the near future where technological advancements allow people to "sever" the memories of their work life from their personal life. The benefit for people who undergo the procedure is that they live their lives without ever remembering working (or other unpleasant things, as the show slowly begins to reveal). But in practice, this means that severed people are effectively two people--they're one person in regular life, an "outie," and a second person, or "innie," at work, because the work version of them never experiences anything but work. It's like falling asleep the second you step out of the office and waking up the second you step back in.

Across the nine-episode first season, that leads to some pretty spooky and dystopian situations, sprinkled with a lot of corporate culture satire. Severance is both funny and creepy in equal measure, and that's a lot of what makes it so good.

Apple TV+ shows rarely get Blu-ray releases, especially in the US. Its biggest breakout hit Ted Lasso is available on Blu-ray, with the complete series--Ted Lasso: The Richmond Way--available on Amazon for $60 (was $85).

Other Apple TV hits, like For All Mankind, See, The Morning Show, and Truth Be Told, have made their way to physical media, but only in the UK. So if you're a fan of Severance, you might want to take advantage of the physical release in case, like content on other platforms, it one day disappears from Apple's streaming service.
