#4 You know what, as a professional writer, using, "very ____," is fine. Especially in instances where these phrases will paint different mental images because of how we use them. For most of us, there's a difference between being, "very poor," and "destitute." Sure, on paper they mean the same thing, but we don't often them that way. We don't use grave or sorrowful like that, either. Also, you shouldn't use, "very perfect," ever. It's either perfect, or it's not.
#1 For me it's one of two things. It's either scam calls, or recruiters going "Hey do you want this job? I know you're only 6 months into your current job but can I put you forward anyway?"
#4 Some of those uses of "very" are more suitable as the other words can describe an extreme that isn't necessarily true. Being very scared is not being the same as petrified. Language is about communication. It's sufficient as long as the other person understands what you are attempting to communicate.
Apparently using destitute in this format is the primary use of the word. I thought the primary use was the secondary and vice versa. Learn something every day. Then usually forget it a few days later (unless it's related to my profession).
Yes! That’s one of the things I was thinking of! And just how she was kinda Helly but “off” in the rest of those episodes. It was so subtle. She really pulled it off.
I’m honestly not confident I’m coming back for season 3. This is the slowest burn story to ever slow burn, and it feels like they’re making it up as they go. The writers just decide “this would be weird and uncomfortable, let’s add it” and seem to have little idea where the story is actually going. S1 left me wanting more. S2 left me… indifferent. If it were cancelled right now, I’m not sure I’d care.

"My favourite part of Severance S01 was how they managed to fit an entire episode's worth of plot into a whole season"

#5 isn’t there an obvious answer to this? But nobody else commented on this so am I the one missing something?

I'm not familiar with Severance but y'all doin' some weird shit with your belly buttons, seems like.

Peter Dinklage is brief. That paint job is destitute. The payment was a little timid this month.

And yet there's no problem saying something is "quite perfect" in one's a formal language.

Britt Lower’s acting when she was playing Helena pretending to be Helly R was amazing. She really nailed it.

Ugh, that one subtle and terrifying facial expression switch in the ORTBO episode... She was incredible.

You'll feel so weird doing it, but it's so good and you'll be a different person by the end of it.

YES!
gottodiehappy
It's very good. Very confusing, but because they mean for it to be not bc they are lazy. Ultimately satisfying.

Mmm Hmm
MrsHowVeryDareYou
Manage your expectations! It’s a slow burn but very good.
TomahawkJackson
Yes.
Truly original plot lines are thin on the ground in the 21st Century.
F4ndango
Indeed! The premise has implications that aren’t obvious at first, and they do a good job of exploring and unfolding them as the show goes on.
SaturnineCult
It's weird, and all the actors are great. So maybe!

It's a mystery box story, but unlike JJ Abrams you get the impression that this show actually knows what's in the box.
RadonGaming
Not the second season. S2 is a mess.
