Ah, good point on Severance; that is a proper example. That there is no unnecessary nudity probably helps the story. Old HBO would have had shower scenes and hook ups interspersed throughout. That might not have hurt, but I don't see the need for it in that show at all.

If you'll excuse my rant; certain tenors of violence and styles of humor are the trend I think that makes things childish. You see the one liners and plot points of marvel movies echoed in some of HBO's high profile shows now. Rebel Moon is, with your criticisms, the type of movie/show the other streaming services have been too eager to make imo. Adult in childish ways, and absent a seriousness in the way it expresses serious plot points.

Hope you're having a good one
