After the finale of Season 2, I decided to give 'Severance - The Lexington Letter' another read to fill this Friday's Severance void, and it's really a great companion to the show, with an interesting twist/reveal in the end.
It obviously doesn't provide any huge answers that the show hasn't offered yet, but it offers several little titbits and information on how Lumon operates from the perspective of a newly-introduced severed character who grows more and more suspicious of the company, and has discovered a way to cheat the system and communicate with her outie self, in a way that fits with the "some things transcend severance" themes of the series.
I wouldn't read it before watching the show, because it still contains plenty of spoilers for the earlier episodes, but it's a good tie-in to dig into after the first half of Season 1 and onward. It's not a long read, but the attention to detail, and the dystopically hilarious 'Macrodata Refiner's Orientation Booklet' that is included, are very much in the spirit of the show and make this a must-read, especially since it's available for free. Going back to it after 'Cold Harbor' really makes some things connect more.
