The latest episode of "Severance" returns even more layers of Frightening Mr Milcik (Tramel Tilman)The cut -off supervisor, which seems to be fiercely loyal to the mega corporation Lumon. During the first season, and the first two episodes of Season 2, Milcik proved to be a deeply ambitious and fanatical fan of Egan's family. He has no qualifications for lying or abusing the incidents he oversees, nor does he care to betray his superior Ms Cobbel if that means climbing the company's ladder.

But in the episode this week, "Who is alive?", We get an overview of what may be the limit of the amount of corporate nonsense that he is ready to achieve. As a grateful gesture for his good work, the mysterious Lumon board, Milcik, a collection of portraits of the respected Kier Egan, except for Kier's skin now drawn as dark as Milcik. The board on the board, Natalie (Sydney Cole Alexander), tells Milcik that the images are "inclusively overonized images designed to help you see Kier".

While Milcik opens the gift, there is a suffocating long shot that follows Natalie's smiling face while hovering around Milcik's shoulder. "The board wants to express that I, Natalie, received the same gift after receiving my current position and found it as a ultimate movement," she says, with a smile so big that it must be at least a little false.

"I'm grateful," says Milcik. "It is important to see myself reflecting ...", he struggles to finish the sentence, but it doesn't matter; The board has already completed the call. As it tends to be the case in many scenes in "Grade", a show where so many characters keep their cards close to the chest, it is unclear how grateful Milcik is in this scene. He certainly seems to have moved as he speaks, but after the board is hanging, there is a long, unpleasant silence between him and Natalie, none of them is sure what to say. Both are colored people who have climbed through the corporate ranks, and they both claim to appreciate these gifts from the Egan's family, overwhelmed in their skin color, but in this long quiet moment between them, nor seem to be so happy.

You may think that nothing will surprise us for Lumon until this point. Not only is the whole concept of cutting off only slavery with additional steps, but now in season 2, They also have a child who works for them and. Lumon is the epitome of everything that is wrong with corporate culture, with their constant exploitation of workers wrapped in a clean, stunning facade. The audience already knows Lumon's bad, the question now is just how much Lumon's self -conscious fans really are. That's why Mr -Milcik and Elena (Brit Lower) are particularly fascinating this season: they are two characters who are obviously entirely in the fight in Lumon's train, but there have been few hints that none of them can be as dedicated as the first It seemed.

With Elena, she seems to be starting to get a little albormous to her Inni colleague, Heley, who found a loveub and community (not to mention an internal sense of self -esteem) that seems to be no Helena. In the meantime with Mr Milcik, we get the feeling in "Who is alive?" That he is not so moved by Lumon's gift, as he said he is. Almost the end of the episode, we see it wrapping the pictures of the Black Egen and puts them out of sight in his office. Even someone like a seemingly washed brain, as Milcik is able to see him through the racial pamper of Lumon.

Let's hope this is the beginning of Milcik, at stake his role as Lumon's most loyal soldier, rather than a one -time moment of self -awareness. These poor incidents will need all the help they can get this season, so it may be good that Milcik is starting to get Ick from Lumon now than later. How Mr. Cobel's defect at the end of season 1 Clearly, they are often the most widespread followers of the cult that they are most difficult to attract.
