Official Succession Thread 🟠 Season 4 Currently Airing

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

mn I read one article that said that what makes this show so great is that they're rich af but handle all their situations clumsily like regular people do. and I feel like that take was right

I think it's the exact opposite.

It caricaturizes the self-serving, narcissistic, morally-absent and out-of-touch-with-reality machinations of the rich, and doesn't chase it down by humanizing them.

"She makes bogeymen out of the clothes she dumps on her bedroom floor".

The writing on this show is magical. You know satires hit the nail when folks are none-the-wiser.

That line was brilliant. When I heard it I almost paused it just to hit the :faketears:

 

[Formerly known as...]

why is this thread NOT stickied, but wack ass ballers is?

this is one of the best shows currently on television.

Thank you. Ballers has always been trash yet quality TV like this doesn't get stickied?

Logan has so many houses, he doesn't even recognize which ones are his when he looks at photos.

Born on the North Bank, King of the East Side
Fifty years strong, now he’s rollin’ in a sick ride
Handmade suits, raking in loot
Five-star general, y’all, best salute
Yo, bytches be catty, but the king’s my daddy
Rock all the haters while we go roll a ’rati
Squiggle on the decks, Kenny on the rhyme
And Logan big ballin’ on Hamptons time

The nepotism on this show is quietly hilarious to me, as well. None of his kids have earned the right to succeed Logan as CEO yet they seem to be the only ones in consideration. It's funny to me how all the non-family can see how clearly incompetent these people are and not only do they say/do nothing, they have to placate these spoiled brats. And Royco is a publicly traded company, it's probably 100x worse with a privately held company.

Any chance Logan throws a wrench in the system by season's end and introduces a non-family contender?

Revisiting this cuz this is still hilarious to me. ...the episode after I laughed at the blatant nepotism, Logan does move forward with forming a search for a CEO outside of the family. Only for the head of that searching effort to pretty much name herself

This is a $25B+ company we're talking about, picking a CEO like it's pickup basketball

Didn't dikk Cheney do that? Bush picked him to lead the VP search and he ended up as VP.

I dunno, but I wouldn't be surprised lol

To be clear I wasn't painting any of this as unrealistic. Nepotism is very real and after that it's all about who you know in business, that's why they stress networking so much. That's also why once you reach that C-suite level, you're pretty much guaranteed to stay there for the rest of your career. Do a shytty job, get a golden parachute to the landing pad of another executive position at a new firm.
