was wondering the same, I assumed SoCal as well but the way Roman said "get back to LA" made it sound like they were farther away

This was good. Wouldn't Logan have pressured Tom to put Shiv on speaker to get their number though?

i like that they incorporated a jeffrey epstein angle with the cctv cameras in the bedroom
― 龜, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 02:35 (one year ago) link
hidden cameras also definitely a reference to Sumner Redstone

Eazy is right.
From JFK to Eric Schmidt, the historic Villa Solana in Montecito has hosted some of the most influential people in history. Now, it's the backdrop of 'Succession' and a symbol of opulence and grandeur. #realestate #VillaSolana #Succession https://t.co/jztS1M4HEt— RobbReport (@RobbReport) March 27, 2023

did anyone think Logan was going to croak at the end of the episode? Leaving aside the fact that he is obviously immortal

I like that Greg is not in fact becoming Suave Greg like they were hinting at earlier but in fact he is just becoming More Greg than ever, just now with more power, thus more ability to hurt people
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 28 March 2023 11:54 (one year ago) link
i could have sworn that the reveal was going to be that the whole pierce acquisition was a plot by logan and tom to manipulate the kids into overpaying for a devalued property. i guess it still could have been? but probably not. still seems like a pretty fucking dumb move by the kids.
best bit was everyone's responses to logan forcing them to roast him. second best bit was conner desperately trying to cling to his one percent.

many xps - thanks for the links to the locations jaymc, although it raises questions for me about where these are supposed to be narratively. idk i guess maybe the ultra-rich really would take a jet for what otherwise might be a 2-hour drive.

they're all so unhappy aren't they? Loving it. Also loved Roman being the only one of the sibs who has any actual business nous, and even he got seduced into bidding for the dead media company that seems an even more bullshit idea than the substack-meets-the-new-yorker-meets website.

I genuinely wonder how many people watch this show aspirationally. Random comments I've seen around the nets suggest that it's kind of a lot.

That's depressing.
I mean, I'll cop to enjoying the peeks we get into these insanely expensive mansions and locales, but I can't imagine ever wanting to be anything like any of these people.

Loved the descriptions of Hundred--"an indispensable, bespoke media hub … one-stop info shop, high-calorie info snacks" because it sounds exactly like something Johnson from Peep Show would say.

Extremely enjoyed how the first half of the episode was essentially an extended subtweet of the England and Wales Cricket Board by the show's English writers. Fuck The Hundred indeed lol

The deals and plotting are getting very byzantine even for this show, but totally worth it for Leonard Cohen karaoke.
