It's crazy how Michael barely appears in the show. There is another version of Mikkel, but he never becomes Michael. Then he doesn't even exist in the original world. In the beginning he haunts the story from both sides. From the start of the first episode with Jonas having nightmares about his dead father to the end of the episode with Mikkel's disappearance.
Everything about Michael in Season 1 is this haunting presence for Jonas. His scenes in Season 1 are mostly just appearing covered in a black substance. We discover he's Mikkel, the little boy, but we don't know about the man he became and why he made the choices he did. Until we finally meet him again in season 2 and it all makes sense. He is really fantastic in "An Endless Cycle," which is the only episode where we really have him as Michael.
While Michael wasn't the character with the most screen time, it was a wonderful use of the same character in different times. Mikkel builds the story, we already know him when we get to Michael's part, and it feels like a perfect way to fulfill the character arc. It is just fitting and absolutely heartbreaking to see the character accept his fate because of how much he loves Jonas.
i’m coming out as a fan of the wilds. i watched it when season one came out and i SOBBED when it was canceled. that is MY personal roman empire (i hate that fuck ass joke but it fits). we were ROBBED of leatin, ROBBED of shoni getting back together, ROBBED of my little lesbians (and bisexuals) getting together and being happy and silly and alive and well
if john oliver doesn’t return for the community movie i will pass away
Severance is a story about capitalism profiting out of a poor person's grief. It's so obvious now and so well done I can't believe at some point we thought it would be about clones and sht

What’s crazy about Apple TV is that a chunk of the shows on there are about dystopian leadership filled with religious and corporate overtones IE “I pray to the founders…” “praise be to Keir…” and how keeping people in the dark and lying about their reality is the only way to have ultimate control over humans. And this comes from the most dominating tech company in existence. What’s terrible about this is that they are putting out the most interesting compelling and cinematic television there is right now. It’s very conflicting
if chris managed to keep that lighter on him in the game, i firmly believe he would have kept it forever. it's from josh. sure, after a while, bob and melinda might have let chris collect a few tokens or things of josh's that maybe he gave him or were like ... special to them? but that lighter is the last thing josh gave to him. he probably put it in a drawer to "forget about it", convince himself it just makes him feel ... less guilty? or something close to it. but he always checks that it's there, and hasn't been moved, taken, or lost.
