HBO: Succession

[Farmer John]

Yeah that episode felt like Succession cranked up to 11. In a good way.

This show causes me physical pain. Like, I feel bad the whole time I watch it. Almost sick and definitely sad---but not in a cathartic way, just an unsatisfying and deadening misery. It's the best show on TV

You know what the weirdest part of this being the best show on TV is? It's not even that good! There is almost zero nuance or subtlety. They all just say and do exactly the thing that every episode and every scene is about. They just say it out loud. They just do the thing. In a way that I don't think will benefit from re-watching. This might be a show that I can only enjoy once. But my god do I enjoy it this first time around

Embrace that it’s a comedy.

I hope Greg? doesn't blow his chance to "bed" Comfrey.

The GoJo stuff is going over my head a bit. What is its real world equivalent? Netflix? Or is it more of a back end/software thing?

I think it is supposed to be like a back end software/coding/social media type of thing.

I think it's like if Elon Musk ran a Netflix/Facebook hybrid but ten years ago

I read it as if Pewdiepie owned an online gaming platform

I’m still loving the show but I don’t think I can put up with any more than one more season of these characters. Fly them all into the side of a mountain.

It was

Spoiler: show

gTom right? Who gave Logan the heads up?

I love this show. Ill gladly keep watching. Seeing Roman crumble and try to hold on this his fantasy relationship with his dad but finally realizing he's a pawn just like all the other kids....

My wife fell asleep 10 minutes into the finale last night. I've never been more disappointed in her.

[Strat]

Roman/Kieren is absolutely one of my favorite characters. He is so goddamn good in that role.

[Ensign9]

Alright, I think I can take more than one more season after that finale. So great.

Yea, the writing is just too good and the actors are top of their game.

I know these awards are dumb and meaningless and the Golden Globes are especially stupid...but how the hell was Mathew MacFadyen not even nominated?

You could nominate every single member of the main cast and they'd all be deserving. Same for most of the supporting roles.

For sure. But MacFadyen was the biggest standout in a cast full of standouts.

Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.
