HBO Succession

[BlairBettsBlocksEverything]

not sure if there's been a thread for this show yet? just watched the first season and have started the 2nd. really like it. one of my favorite shows i've watched in a while

 

they also filmed just outside my office for a bit so i'm excited to see when that pops up. HBO has been filming a lot by me (NYS Capital building/surrounding govt. buildings look enough like DC and is far cheaper to film at)

It's the best show on television right now. Really well acted and the dialogue is sharp. I can't wait for season 3.

[Sharpshooter]

It is a fantastic show. A great cast and sharp writing. No definite date has been announced yet, but the third season will be airing sometime in October.

The cast is fantastic for the most part. Brian Cox in particular plays his character extremely well. The only character I don't really care for is Tom. Can't put my finger on it..."dumb frat guy but in his 40s" maybe?

You’re not really supposed to like Tom. He’s such a pitiful prick who thinks he’s a top dog when he isn’t anything.

I get that but I don't like his character because of mediocre writing. I love to dislike characters because of good writing. There were so many in Game of Thrones heh

[Drew a Penalty]

I'll just have to disagree that his writing is mediocre. I think he's consistent and fits a certain type that they're trying to portray.

[Patrick Bateman]

Toms extremely well written. There's so many dudes in that world that are just like him

I get the persona they are going for, but it's over the top to me. From a humor standpoint, it's good, but it feels less real or believable.

Last night's episode was so good. Unfortunately just two more episodes left this season.

[Sharpshooter]

That was one of the best episodes of the entire series.

Really just an incredible finale. Master class in performance from the Roys in the final half hour or so. 

[Sharpshooter]

That was one of the best episodes in the entire series.

Baby is starting to sleep a bit more at night so I was finally anle to finish season 1 last night- what a fantastic show. Although I did kind of see the end coming but never the less. 
 

hopefully it won’t take me 6 months to finish season 2 now

[siddious]

Last season is 2 episodes in.

 

Spoiler

Greg and the girl and then telling Logan about because Tom tells him there’s cameras everywhere

 

I love all the characters on this show they’re all such shitty people 

 

[Sharpshooter]

So, what did everyone think of the finale? I thought it was very good!

 

The series finale of this and Barry on the same night was something else. Two excellent finales!
