those are great takes, vg. the brilliance of the show is in finding and shining a light on the remaining slivers of humanity and vulnerability in the characters. it's tough for me to imagine the next time i'll like a show this much.

i heard an interview w Alan Ruck on the succession podcast, and he had the greatest take on Connorhe said Connor doesnt read anything new that forces him to form an opinion. he would read old works of literature like Marcel Proust’s “Remembrance of Things Past”, works are already accepted by others as being great, so he doesnt have to decide or do the work. I found this highly amusing & otm

Okay, I haven't read the entire thread here, since I still have the last two episodes of Season 2 to watch, but I'm really surprised by how much I'm enjoying this. In a show full of embarrassing people doing awful things, Kendall's rap was amazingly awful. I kind of want a sitcom spin-off with Tom and Greg as roommates.
And for all of Roman's great lines, I don't know why this one killed me:

"Excuse me, what are Greg sprinkles?"
Also, loved this little exchange:
Shiv: This. Oh. So you've been stewing on that? Tom: Why yes, I have been stewing on it.

Kendall's rap was amazingly awful
The best part was you could see the cut to Greg being really into it a mile away but when they actually did it still paid in full.

Lots of interesting details about Succession and Season 3 specifically in this profile of Jesse Armstrong. One to start with: there is no incorporation of the pandemic into the plot for season 3. https://t.co/ClMNecYLNS— Succession updates (@SuccessionNews) August 23, 2021

great article, thanks. I thought I knew plenty about Jesse Armstrong but had no idea he wrote the British version of That 70s Show, which I'm not sure I saw in the UK but possibly in South Africa? I was only young and was extremely confused when I later saw the US version, having only half remembered the UK one.

Really looking FWD to this returning, reading above, I think I wouldn't have minded if they added some pandemic stuff to the script, it's seems perfect fodder for all the 'Conheads' out there. Please, people, don't forget that Connor Roy was interested in politics from a very young age.

Was very mixed about the first two seasons, but tonight’s episode was so well done, just constantly moving in these unusual spaces. Much more jagged conversational rhythms and handheld camera work. Dug it.

Really glad they kept Tom and Greg separate for the whole episode. Tom’s hazing just felt like a redundant joke over a lot of episodes.

*that 'the juice is loose' line was a jaw dropper from the person it came from, in the context. They really ramped up the worst sides of the Roy kids, completed with greasy Roman close ups, shiv snarling and smarming her way around, Kendell manic and maniacal...agree it's good Tom and Greg aren't an obvious sideshow again, but I love me some tom...and I really hope there's a fun storyline for the conheads.

While I was watching the Netflix reality show The Circle a few weeks ago, I realized that one of the things I like about it is all the Machiavellian jockeying for power -- forming alliances and making other strategic moves to gain trust and ultimately improve your standing in the game -- and that this is, in a way, no different from what drives the plot in Succession. When it's written well, that kind of thing is just really pleasurable to watch.

That stuff is a big part of what I enjoyed about wolf hall, and this show is weirdly similar in tones times too.

If this whole season moves at this new quasi real-time pace I might be OK with that. Watching them marinate was amazing.

The Shiv scene with Lisa Arthur was one of the best of the series. As with this whole episode, the characters didn’t have the advantage of being in a space where they belonged (their home, their office, a resort or as a guest of honor), and seeing her reactions to rejection was so, so good.
