Yall Ready To Have That Talk About Succession Yet or Nah....

[FunkDoc1112]

thats a good way of putting it.it shoulda been a movie, or a miniseries im halfway through season 2, and i cant imagine watching two more seasons of these uninteresting a$$holes doing the same shyt in every single episode. true detective got it done in 10

this dude put it well

'Succession' Tricked a Sliver of America Into Thinking That It's a Good Show | Commentary

Nearly 3 million people were duped into watching the finale of a terrible series about spoiled brats

It honestly sounds like that writer missed the entire point of the show...like, the kids being clueless idiots that are only in their position because they came from their daddy's nuts is the whole fukking central conceit Every single criticism he had was an intentional part of the show. Dude even complained about Greg being an bumbling goof

Worst part is he has the gall to suggest how he'd write the show, which is just Shiv girlbossing her way to the top and her and Tom changing ATN into a left-leaning network...that dude clearly had no idea what the purpose of the show was. He wanted to see a liberal fantasy

Every single criticism he had was an intentional part of the show.

Man said, Kendall is an addict, Roman is crazy, and Shiv hasn't done anything that would make any legit company take them seriously, like that wasn't the point

It’s very good, and I give it props for staying good consistently and ending strong. I probably wouldn’t put it in the top 5 but it might make the the top 5. the acting is definitely top tier, but in the big scheme of things storyline wise nobody was ever gonna actually “lose” anything, we know they all wanted that top spot but everyone on this show were millionaires/billionaires were gonna be set for life and could do whatever they wanted. They did a good job of making us care as much as we did

Way better thsn the unrealistic breaking bad
A science teacher near at 50 becomes a kingpin
ok breh

The wire last season ruined it and if we being honest all the mayoral shyt fir season 4 on was mid as fukk

This actually up there

No unrealistic violence shyt
Just scumbag billionaire kids acting like you know they would

No stupid action scenes

Won on dialogue and acting


Man had peep show and succession
Crown him

This is just as hard as the last time.

1. The Wire
2. BCS/BB
4. Atlanta
5. Succession.
6. Mr. Robot

My top 6, for now. Unless someone brings up something that I forgot

Not enough GOOD seasons to be considered

• Severance - 1 really great season, who knows if this will ever finish. Between the actual show runners beefing and the writer's strike...
• True Detective - 1 great season, the rest okay
• Andor - If they can stick the landing, it will be some of the finest Sci Fi ever made. S1 of Andor and Rogue 1 are already 1 and 2 for best SW film/tv stuff ever made. Mando S1 would be #3 for me.

Not really in the running for me, but worthy of conversation

• Sopranos
• The Americans
• Homeland
• West Wing/News Room
• Deadwood
• Rome
• Mad Men
• Mindhunter
• Marvelous Maisel/Fleabag
• Top Boy/Luther
• Ozark
• Suits/White Collar/Monk - good shows, and had great moments, but not this level
• Snowfall
• Boardwalk Empire
• Mare of Easttown
• Barry
• Girls
• Fargo

Nerdy Fiction/Cinema

• Sherlock
• WestWorld
• Twin Peaks
• Dark
• Black Mirror
• Utopia BBC (haven't seen the Amazon version)
• House of the Dragon
• The Expanse
• Silo
• Handmaid's Tale

Ruined by the Ending

• Game of Thrones
• Lost (Well not for me, I liked the character driven ending, but it didn't answer a lot of questions)
• Killing Eve
• House of Cards

Haven't Seen/Finished

• Narcos
• Hannibal
• The Deuce
• Band of Brothers
• Euphoria
• Justified
• The Shield (or Nip/Tuck)
• White Lotus
• The Bear
• The Crown
• Leftovers
• 6 Feet Under
• Downton Abbey
• Peaky Blinders/Sons of Anarchy
• Bosch
• Billions
• Industry
• Buffy is supposed to be really good for it's time

Horrible and should not be in the conversation

• Patriot
• Firefly - eff this show

Pre-Prestige TV, but some of the prestige qualities.

• Oz (which arguably started prestige cable dramas with cursing, violence, nudity, good acting, high drama - 7/12/1997 per google, so the past 26 years)
• Dexter
• X-Files/Fringe
• Homicide/The Corner
• Sex and the City

The Eva Green joint?

Ehh, it was cool. Better than the Twin Peaks revival. Horror isn't really my steez tho.
