HBO's Succession - Season 2 and Beyond

well who cares what you would do with their money, however if you do somehow get it i think you should give it to me, you clearly dont appreciate the possibilities

lol what if this show was called Splitting Heirs

thats the 80s sitcom version

haha

the spin-off where they all work at the same Target

greg is their manager of the store

tom reigonal manager

ime, a family that owns a few burger kings in a midwestern city has a bowling alley in their basement

some real milkshake potential

so basically Schitt's Creek

yeah i saw a version of this on twitter. like same show but midwesterners who own a car dealership

but just as much drama

Con would be running for school board.

shit yes sign me up

to me this version would be way more evident (bcuz stakes=lower, they're not picking the president) that the show is a comedy

thats the thing the kids can take their billions and buy their own media companies or learn to make sourdough or whatever but theyre never going to be able to pick the president again

they might if they do well get into the room again but no one is bringing them a coke

and of course they wouldnt do well because theyre callow dummies

Logan's got his billions AND a sourdough starter iirc
that's why he's the king

Con would be running for school board.

And the fucked up thing is he'd win

Another interesting interview - this one with the director. Turns out the intimacy of the first few eps was virtually all covid https://www.vulture.com/article/mark-mylod-succession-season-3-finale-interview.html

was the penultimate scene when they're driving over CGI background? felt very weird.

This is great

Also I just finally caught up on this show and I could watch J Smith-Cameron or Jeannie Berlin in anything

I'm guessing you've seen Margaret then...

Yeah that was my first intro to both actors!

TIL that Jeannie Berlin is Elaine May's daughter, I had no idea.

Brian Cox on the much-talked-about NYer article concludes with quite the mic drop https://t.co/qKpbyFHV3A pic.twitter.com/1AFUD5abwH

have to click on that to see the best line

between succession and the last duel, harriet walter deserves some kind of award for playing the shittiest moms in 2021 entertainment

@mookieproof ty I would have thought the mic drop was "what?"

I'm putting that on my business card lol

Forgive the thread spam, but I wanted to note that this show's 2021 season is nominated in the ILX TV poll, with voting ending this weekend:

It'll take five minutes; get to it!

Cool. I'm re-watching s3 right now

if you'd like the short version

I saw that! It's hella flavourful

Alan Ruck being 10 years younger than Brian Cox is breaking my brain

If you enjoy Harriet Walter being a total cow of a mother she's also doing that in "This Is Going To Hurt" on BBC.

also The Last Duel

after avoiding this show for three years i watched an episode on the plane that i thought was S1E1 but was really S3E1 lol

so of course i had to go back and binge the first two seasons in like 4 days.

it really is as great as everybody says it is. i’m about to start S3 properly now so stopped reading this thread several hundred posts ago. before i go i just want to remind you of the way roman describes himself in S1: “i look like a matador and everyone wants to fuck me”

oh just one more thing, i swear

tom was reminding me of an 80s supporting actor, like somebody from police academy, it’s uncanny, and finally i realised no - i was thinking of beverley hills cop 2. he has HUGE judge reinhold energy. HUGE!

whoa you are not wrong

otm

haha what
but yeah actually
mock trial with tom wambsgans

Well I know the actor for his own past roles. Ripper st and Spys and things.
