It was five minutes worth of content stretched into 45 minutes. It was boring af. We learned that she designed something, but other than that, we didn’t really get anything out of it.
So you know where the series is going then? Because that would be the only way to know that nothing else in that episode will be relevant.
This is why American media is going down the toilet. You can’t have a single episode dedicated to providing context and character building without chuds whining about it being “boring.” Grow up.
Maybe try putting your phone away and watching it again.
Perhaps it’s just because I was paying attention to the dialogue, and I know what ether is, but I thought the episode was just fine. I wouldn’t submit it for an Emmy or anything, but episodes like this can end up being really important to understanding the plot of a show.
Sorry, I agree with /u/GrumpyDuckling here. The pacing of S02E08 didn’t work at all, and what we learned didn’t actually seem especially interesting. It also seems shoehorned in as she didn’t give the vibes of being that at all in Season 1.
A bunch of people who have known nothing but binge watching, suddenly need to deal with week-to-week programming…
This is what good TV shows look like. Sorry. Unless you know the overarching plot of the entire series, you know nothing about the relevance of the episode.
Huh? My objection to the episode’s writing has nothing to do with Severance releasing weekly.

Sure, I’m speculating. At this point, I think it was shoehorned in and didn’t seem consistent with Cobel’s role in the company and behaviour in the company in S01. I also don’t think it was well done.
I can’t speak for you, but the impression I get is that people were expecting severed workplace hijinks, and are upset that they instead got context, backstory and character development… And had to wait another week to get back to the hijinks.
It does have the lowest ratimg on imdb. A lot of people are sayimg the same things as I am. I did watch it on my phone because the audio on my tv setup was too hard to hear. I used good wired headphones.

Watching someone take a nap and breathe heavily and directly into their microphone in a soap opera style episode is not good.

I was not expecting “workplace hijinks”.

Why would I give a shit?
It could be condensed way down and intertwined into the episodes before and after it. It was extremely dry.
Someone call Ben Stiller, we’ve got a prodigy here.
