Do not swing near the coastal – and fictitious – of the city of Salt if you are not up to date on season 2 of “Severance”, because this article Contains spoilers!
In the eighth episode of its second season, the adored “Severance” series of Dan Erickson took the audience far, far from the coupé floor of Lumon Industries – where we usually spend time with Mark S. (Adam Scott), Helly R. (Britt Lower), Dylan G. (Zach Cherry) and, until his recent “Irvil,” Irvil, John Turturro) – So that So that Towers could finally reintegrate, “Irvil B., John Turturro) – So so so so that sover the character pivot but mysterious played by the winner of Oscar Patricia Arquette. In the episode, entitled “Sweet Vitriol”, Harmony dates back to what we learn is his hometown, a cold and dilapidated coastal hamlet called Salt’s Neck. So where is Salt’s neck in real life, since no city exists in the United States?
According to the Canadian broadcasting companyOr CBC, the Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador was the set of filming of “Sweet Vitriol”-and in particular, the “Severance” team has turned in the small town of Bonavista. Yahoo! also pointed out the episode filming location and said that the creative team of the program asked for advice from Edith Sampson, director of the Sir William Ford Coaker Heritage Foundation In Canada, for specific filming locations. The point of sale has also pointed out that the Drippipy Pot, a coffee where Harmony meets his old friend Hampton (James le Gros), is a real coffee called the Bicycle Picnics Café in Bonavista.
Ben Stiller, who produces the series and often directs episodes – including “Sweet Vitriol” – also explained his decision to shoot in Bonavista on the Podcast of accompaniment of the program “The Severance podcast with Ben Stiller and Adam Scott.“As Stiller explained,” the thing about the Newfoundland is that it is robust and beautiful, but it is not the scale, it is not like a place like Iceland or Greenland or something like that where they are gigantic mountains. It’s a little smaller, but it’s always so beautiful in its own way. “”
Salt’s neck gives us information about Lumon’s past – and shows how bad the company is
There is no doubt that Bonavista is an incredibly striking and magnificent place for the neck of Salt, but unfortunately, the fictitious The version of this seaside town has a troubled story – which we learn in “Sweet Vitriol”. Since season 1 of “Severance”, we know that Harmony Cobel has a deep commitment to Lumon Industries and Kier Eagan, The founder of the company considered as a god by all the acolytes of Lumon (She had an altar in Kier at home, for the love of God). Back in Salt’s neck, we are starting to see Why Harmony was so invested in Lumon and Kier, and it is because the hometown of Harmony was built around Kier and Lumon.
Harmony left Salt’s neck to frequent the Myrtle Eagan School for Girls (named Lumon’s first woman leader), which means that she left her mother Charlotte Cobel and her sister Celestine “Sissy” Cobel (played by Jane Alexander in “Sweet Vitriol”) to get rid of the city. As we discover in the episode, Harmony and Hampton, the latter now directs the dripping pot and distributed an addictive substance called ether For residents (while using itself), worked in the Ether’s ether factory as a child as a child, often working for quarters of work that lasted 10 full hours. (Harmony also says that she has not used either since she was eight years old, providing another disturbing de facto on the neck of Salt.) In the end, we learn that the factory closed when Lumon abandoned the Ether company, leaving Salt’s neck to suffer … and the fact that Lumon Industries has abandoned a whole city manages by them.
Sweet Vitriol was a huge episode for Harmony Cobel, one of the most mysterious characters of Severance
The residents of Bonavista who are also fans of “Seede” should be proud that their city represents the neck of Salt, because after this episode, we know that the information found in Salt’s neck is among the most important in the tradition of the series. This is because, throughout the episode, Harmony hunts something in his family home (where you can always see marks on the wall of the young harmony measuring her size changes when she was a child), fiercely tearing the rooms of Charlotte and Sissy to find a mysterious article. Finally, in a bust of what seems to be Kier Eagan hidden in an underground hangar, Harmony finds what she is looking for, and she returns to the house to show the Sissy.
What harmony shows to his sister is absolutely magnificent, because it is a school notebook filled with instructions on how to carry out the starting procedure. It’s true: Jame Eagan (Michael Siberry), father of Helena Eagan (also played by Britt Lower) and the head of the company, did not invented him, but simply stole the work of Harmony. This definitely explains why, since the start of season 2, Harmony has seemed squarely hostile with regard to Lumon, and it also means that the location of the salt’s neck is now one of the most important places in the geography of the series (what else could be hidden there?) We still have a lot to learn about harmony – and Some might say that this episode gave us the background of the bad character – But the fact is that this revelation, graceful of Salt’s neck, will be a large part of the “dismissal” in the future.
“Severance” broadcasts new episodes on Thursday on Apple TV + at 9 p.m. HNE.
