HBO: Succession

[Ensign9]

Shiv is gonna have a redemption arc. They've written her into the ground as a bratty, selfish hypocrite. There's no way that ship stays its course.

Roman still has the best zingers. Hilarious!

Not sure about the redemption arc for these characters. I hope it doesn’t happen.

Plane crash and they all die or they all go broke and have to live in an apartment together (season 5).

[VinylGuy]

prequel to Friends maybe?

[Malloy]

succession's creator & head writer references the eighteenth brumaire of louis bonaparte in media interviews. if succession becomes interested in giving one of its characters a redemptive arc, i'll give everyone on the board a dollar. jeremy strong might be thinking in those terms, but then, he's cracked

[Malloy]

season premiere suggests that this show's best days are far behind where we are. still hope it improves.

[The Argonaut]

This is just brutal at this point. It's almost unfair. This show has always been right out on-the-sleeves but this is just painful. And not an acute pain like the end of last season. It's a simmering, to-the-bone-and-in-the-stomach sad pain.

[VinylGuy]

whats so painful? its a comedy

You are always so dramatic!

after last night i think the show is reaching for some kind of pathos and it's a real mistake

Oh, the anguish that doth plague my very being! This unforgiving torment, now laid bare upon the stage; in this tale of wretched sorrow, once candid in its telling, the burden of despair weighs heavy upon our hearts. A merciless fate, so harsh and cruel, it feels unjust. A show that once conveyed the human spirit in its rawest form, now finds itself consumed by a heartache most unbearable, a suffering that surpasses the boundaries of endurance. No longer the piercing sting, as felt in seasons past, this agony, it lingers, seeping deep into our very essence. A gut-wrenching sorrow, a melancholy that roots itself within, leaving naught but the ghost of joy, forever lost to time. With furrowed brow and trembling lip, we witness the unfolding tragedy. The players, their hearts exposed, now bear the weight of this oppressive gloom. For in this theater of life, we are but helpless spectators bound to the merciless tides of fate, our hearts forever bound to their suffering.

This is a masterpiece. Was this off the top of yer dome or did ChatGPT help you out?

[doug rr]

[Simple Torture]

I heard yesterday that screeners didn’t go out to critics this week. That should’ve been a clue.

[psychobain]

Didnt saw that coming
I thought they were faking it for a moment

[dad]

Great episode. Might be one of the best ever.
