HBO's Succession - Season 2 and Beyond

And the DJ was DJ Jubilee btw

yeah his apartments overlooks Hudson Yards xp

thats nice he could just walk home

Can't see Greg and Comfrey's date going well. Kendall's right, she really is out of his league.

definitely. Also, she seemed FUCKED during most of the party. the show is often really quite subtle about how much these people are gone on the drugzzz, but Comfrey just seemed to not be there at all at the party, and I don't really blame her.

really? I thought she was just completely tired from jumping through kendall’s ever-changing series of hoops

that moment where the two assistants find out he’s not going to do his stupid musical/crucifixion number and mumbling “thank christ” only to find out he’d pitched a handful of other things for them to magically make happen instead, with no time whatsoever… just a fucking terrible job

lmao get springsteen in here

fuckin jet packs lmao

springsteen and jet packs, both great ideas

just needed to plan ahead a little more

wondering why they went Springsteen instead of Joel though

trying to upgrade

“yeah i mean a lotta the ideas are jokes, but….some arent”

In every episode:

MAN: “Kendall…your financing has fallen through. Your lawyers have left the building and the DoJ wants more details. Also you inadvertently killed someone and it’s coming out in the press tomorrow.”

KENDALL: “Uh-huh”

i thought it was v funny when kendall is at the treehouse w shiv and roman that almost everything he said to them “you’re not cool” etc is exactly what a 10 year old would say to keep ppl out of their actual treehouse

lol yeah that was good

My other other take is that somehow Greg is the one I hate the most. Gramps otm

it's almost like the writers realised they had to do an episode where Greg is almost entirely sympathetic, good luck to him and his even-handed maiden

I had missed that Kendall is drinking 40 on the escalator ride with Greg.

*drinking a 40

yes! i loled so hard at that

such a kendall party

40 for 40, it was on theme

omg

💀

I hope we all noticed the Ready To Die theme. Could this be some kind of suicide foreshadowing??

If any of them are going to die Ken would have to be the favourite but that just seems a bit too obvious

I've been wondering if Logan might let slip some information about Ken's involvement in that lad's death in season one. You wouldn't put it past the old bastard

logan would be vulnerable on that as well, coverup is worse than the crime and all

He could deny there was any coverup, though. There's no papertrail, and whathisface head of security isn't going to say anything. Out of all the employees, he's the only one they treat well (or at least don't treat horrendously). I suppose he's the only one with a hold over them.

sure he could say there was no cover up of this until now unknown to anyone but him and a small group of coconspirators crime but not sure thats a really strong position to put oneself in

it's almost like Logan is going to use that as long as he can as leverage over Ken--letting info slip out into the press means he loses that leverage

Was reminded of a New Yorker piece on Hudson Yards from a few years back—'it would be a great setting for a breakdown'

Your wish, is my command

I teach a video class this afternoon—legit going to show this! Thanks!

:D np! one of the best videos

Conner O'Malley really walks that line between "comedy" and some kind of "ART" I'm still trying to figure out.

His recent one about pulled pork in Wisconsin even strays into some of the better short-form horror of recent years imo

Hope he gets a Succession cameo obv

one of the best comedy-art guys out for sure

- Winston Churchill

lol

i can’t get over how much of the blunt he puts in his mouth he’s so insane pic.twitter.com/ICxbtP1hxN

Haha fucking savage

needs a gif of Ken just pulling and pulling the blunt out like a magician's knotted handkerchiefs

Could this be some kind of suicide foreshadowing??

I don't think this show is ever going to go in for that kind of heavy-handed drama. And it's better for it, imo.

maybe not they were def playing with that imagery, having a breakdown looking off a high balcony at a famous suicide sculpture and so forth

i really doubt they're going to go with a suicide but one of the last lines of the episode was ken breaking down and saying "i just want to ... (long pause implying he's going to say 'die') ... go home"

but yeah i think it's more about the idea/imagery than foreshadowing

i could see them doing it, maybe the show goes very dark the last season or two

sorta like them toying with the crucifix--they're not gonna go through with it (at least I don't think.)

BUT

If you can’t watch Succession when it airs this Sunday, avoid Twitter at all costs

I liked when ken walked out after the breakdown and said to Roman “you’re not a real person”

We get it a day later in the UK, as I learned from this thread to my cost…
