HBO: Succession

[Mecca]

It’s a character show more than a good story

[VinylGuy]

its also just ok in terms of visuals.

Still, fun.

Rank 'em. The first 2 were really good, third not so much. Logan's not nearly as compelling of a figure anymore.

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3

So far I'm liking season 2 more than 1. (Only 2 episodes in but it seems like a much more confident version of itself)

nothing but love and respect for my edgy conference room jerks.

The most interesting character in this is Tom. The second most interesting character in this is Shiv Roy's ass

[dad]

a pivotal role indeed.

You’re not wrong.

We’re only two episodes from being caught up. Wonder why they only went with 9 episodes this third season.

[The Argonaut]

Don't tell anyone but I think she might be my perfect woman. I think she gains a little weight or something in season three and some of the outfits she wears are just

[VinylGuy]

This is so sad. Stop objectifying women

[VinylGuy]

Haha im joking she is hot as hell

As this winner of the character tournament, I deem this show... Okay. You're all sleeping on Karolina. Way better than Shiv.

[The Argonaut]

umm, skitch...

[@SkitchP]

That's probably a reflection on your search history Argo

Brian Cox will be on Fresh Air today.

[wease]

Just finished catching up. Holy fuck.

Honestly, I don't know why this show is so loved. Through 3 seasons absolutely nothing of consequence has happened. It's just the same story told over and over with no advancement or consequence. In season 1 with the whole vague shredding of unspecified documents was obviously just a thing they planned on using later but weren't sure how. None of the characters have grown- they give you just enough moments of not being absolutely terrible people so you can't view them all entirely as villains. Which works with compelling characters (tony soprano, Omar, etc) but not these ones. There are moments where the attempts at comedic moments land, but even attempting to view it as a comedy doesnt work for me.

And I dont get the occasional moments where it just goes into "The Office" style camera zooms for a few shots, then doesn't do it again for 4 episodes.

It's okay, and im sure ill watch it when it comes back... but I don't get it.

[The Argonaut]

I don't get it either, skitch, but I love it
