Succession on HBO

[Marshal Jim Duncan]

Just finished it last night. Thoroughly enjoyed it; Brian Cox is fantastic as the patriarch.

It’s sort of Arrested Development (though not quite that zany) meets Sopranos (without actual mafiosos), or maybe Billions.

 

[BluegrassPoke]

I like it, it is a good watch.

A little over the top and uneven but entertaining. Not sure where they can go with season two.

Good to hear, will pull the trigger and binge watch, was initially hesitant.

I love the start, dad pissing in the corner on the floor. This is what stressed out big wigs do.

New season starts on Sunday!

I honestly had zero desire to watch it. I watch pretty much anything on HBO but for some reason the early trailers did nothing for me. Enough people talked about it that I binged it. Really fantastic. Just super entertaining. Somehow a show were every character is pretty much the worse is great. Amazing casting too.

I’ll have to give it a try based on this. I have 0 desire to watch it.

@Air_Thurman I basically had the same experience... wasn’t really against watching but couldn’t pull the trigger despite also watching everything. Binged the whole season and really enjoyed it. Not sure if it will be less exciting to watch one episode at a time, but looking forward to it coming back.

Anyone watching Season 2? I think it has been absolutely outstanding.

Oh yes, love this show. Last weeks episode was pretty awesome with the congressional stuff.

 

[FMPoke]

Solid season. I had my doubt that they could maintain the freshness and quality in a second season but they've done well.

 

[SSS!!!]

Holy sh!t what an incredible finale. One of my favorite TV episodes in a long time. The ending was absolutely perfect. Need to rewatch it, it had so many epic scenes.

Look Daddy Killer Instinct.

 

[Air_Thurman]

Yeah the finale was amazing. So many great parts.The scene were they are all trying to throw each other the bus by giving compliments was great. Tom eating the chicken was epic.

This doesn't seem like a show that can keep this up for a long time. It is going to be interesting to see how it develops.

Kendal was bad ass. Shit sheets no more!

 

[BluegrassPoke]

2 incredible seasons. I ha e total faith Season 3 will rock. That yacht and chicken!

 

[BluegrassPoke]

2 incredible seasons. I believe Season 3 will crush it. That yacht!

 

[ExileOnPerkinsSt.]

I will watch just about anything with Brian Cox.

Binge watched it. Loved it. Tom and Greg are pretty funny together. I like the weird Roman / Gerri thing.

The show was extremely well cast across the board.
