Official Succession Thread 🟠 Season 4 Currently Airing

[re'up]

I honestly had the same kind of bias, because I tried Billions and didn't care for it, there were so many "boardroom porn" shows around that time, I didn't give Succession a fair chance, but I am kind of glad to enjoy it all now.

The stakes aren't life and death, The Wire was never a satire, The Sopranos veered closer and closer to a satire, but Succession is satire, in it's scathing critique and depiction of so so many elements of modern life.

It's a dark comedy, and very close to The Sopranos, in terms of themes, but The Sopranos has way more heart, and is probably funnier, overall, but Succession did 4 flawless seasons, didn't miss a mark.

i didnt want to get into another show about rich fukks after billions. Billions fell off harder that Prison break.
I started watching this show a few moths ago, when i found out it was eding with season 4
i rly liked succession but i dont think i'll watch it again. Not rly in top 10 HBO shows

Damn. I stopped watching Billions like after season 3.

I'm actually into this succession shyt. And Shiv look like she might be holdin

Ole boy from Ferris Bueller and the hooker is a lil pathetic

Tom won like how Brann won at the end of GOT. Similar writing decisions that they think are from left field to deprive the viewer of the predictable outcome.

But honestly both were shytty and poor endings IMO

Not even close. Tom told you exactly what he was about, looking for, and wanted to do since the beginning, and even this season told you his motivations were money.

low key I already have this over sopranos in my mind since the last rewatch I did is kinda still fresh on my mind…but I don’t want to fall victim to the moment…I’m gonna let some time pass before I do a rewatch of “the wire” and then “the sopranos”

What is “grilled cheese with a sucked dikk”?

Their relationship is kind of overlooked because of Tom & Greg but Stewy always had Kendall's back come clutch time. Yeah he got shyt out of it too sometimes but a lot of the shyt he did was just on the strength of that being his mans.

Dude even brought up the idea of him being named interim CEO to the old guard.

 

[jwinfield]

If fukking Ewan became CEO, that would be some Bran shyt.

This show doesn't hold a candle to either.

As much as they tried to add consequence to the show, nothing moved me. Whether they went to jail, lost a deal, lost their company, they are still rich as fukk. Kendall gone to the waterfront to cry with a bodyguard in tow, probably gonna have a Tyrone biggums crack party to get over the huge payout he's about to receive.

Wire and Sopranos had life and death. Only one person died in Succession, and that didn't move me.

Yeah, To me Succession lacked the big "Moments" aside from Logan passing and the two board votes in the first and last episodes.


The trial was great writing and comical at times but ultimately amounted to nothing, Same with the raid at Waystar. Anybody that was fired was always brought back. Nothing amounted with the Pearce stuff, etc.

Yeah, Tom was always a social climber looking for money and power, and put up with a whole lot of shyt in pursuit of that.

Bran was a victim that helped ignite the war, he sort of just rolled around for awhile, didn’t appear for one season, then came back a weirdo saying shyt like “Sansa, you looked beautiful the night you get raped” and going from “I can’t be the Lord of anything” to “why do you think I came this way?”

Tom being chosen as CEO to be a “pain sponge” makes sense. Bran’s coronation scene seemed like a comedy skit.

Damn. I stopped watching Billions like after season 3.

Shiv’s got a nice body.

 

[No1]

I thought those kids were adopted. I didn’t think there was any question that they weren’t his biological kids. They’re Indian.

Rome pointing out they’re not blood is foul, but it’s not like he let some cat out the bag or spoke about something that’s not acknowledged, unless I’m mistaken.

It sounded like she used a surrogate the way Roman said it.

 

[RickyGQ]

and who does Shiv think she is to be the arbiter of morality? At the very last minute?

she a trash human, fat face looking like trannie chris farley. I guess you could say she shoulda kept it in the family, but in a way she did keep it in the family(her family). She trash tho.

That’s why i feel like her hate is warranted imo. Her hypocrisy is the worst.

 

[re'up]

Shiv is bad! fukk, she's bad. I love women like that, knee deep in money, confident, intelligent.

Debating any of the characters morality is kind of missing something. They are all deeply morally compromised people. To play at those levels, morality is something you are going to have to sell off quicker than your shares.
