HBO: Succession

I think part of the point is that nothing changes. Nothing can stop the big churning capitalism machine.

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.

It's a soap opera with fun characters. I agree it's far from great but to me it's worth it just to spend time with Tom, Greg?, and Shiv's ass

Here's a good 1 minute skit stretched out to nearly 5 minutes, which is a fitting comparison to 3 seasons of Succession

I didn't say it was good, so this metaphor is becoming more apt by the minute.

Very little is as good as watching an adult learn to read if we're being honest.

That was fucking great. Greg? was hilarious and Tom eating the pizza was primo.

Let's get this thread back on track

Why does every show have to have character development?

Roman Roy: Mickey

These four are perfect, right down to the bizarre sexual tension.

I just started this show. I'm going to be watching it weekly with my sister so I'll be a long time until I'm done with it, but the pilot was really good and I'm looking forward to more.

[Simple Torture]

Just started this earlier in the week, sorry that I've missed it until now. Almost through Season 1. Team Cousin Greg?.
