TV Thread - beware, [expletive] can get spoilery

[AWvsCBsteeeerike3]

I'm a couple episodes behind on succession, but i felt the first 3 episodes of this season were pretty damn good.

i do feel like "something" needs to happen soon though...they've been building up the hostile takeover for 3 seasons now.

greg remains my favorite character on the show

Only watched the first two seasons, so take it fwiw, but there can't ever be a hostile takeover without the loss of Logan, their lead character, no? Regardless if you find the show entertaining as a hilarious dark parody on the business world or as a compelling business drama, it only works with the inner power struggle between Logan/Kendall/the family. But a clear win/loss for anyone means the loss of those characters either via a removal from the company or jail time which is bad for the show. So, they all have so much plot armor it's tough see a clear path forward. It'll be interesting to see where they go from here, though, it doesn't sound like I'm missing much by waiting.

thats kinda my issue...there's really no power struggle. hard to really explain without getting too spoilerly. can't really have this conversation though since you've only seen 2 seasons lol

Is succession worth it? I can't decide if I want to jump in or not.

How To with John Wilson on HBO is fantastic. Do not miss it. Trust me.

Everyone is sleeping on this show. Just sayin'

Okay, okay, I’ll watch it.

I hope you dig it as much as I did. Make sure to watch an episode all the way through. They can... go to unexpected places.

I don't want to spoil it in any way, but you will soon come upon a CLASSIC Tom-Greg scene/line.

you can't make a tom-eltte without breaking a few gr-eggs

That line was just brilliant. Just magically hilarious.

incredible.

i've found the only time i truly enjoy tom is when he's paired with greg. otherwise he comes off as a bit of a cuck

I gave up on Succession because I found it a little more excruciating than delicious--but it was definitely both.

What a terribly cynical show.

I gave it a try, based solely on your posts.

I watched 2 episodes from Season 1 (Memory and Splitting a Check). They certainly had funny moments, but it just didn't hold my interest. Sorry.
