Though on the issue of Logan picking his successor, he has vested interest in NOT picking someone, and instead letting everyone fight against each other

yeah the groundhog day aspect of that is part of the point i think
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 28 February 2022 08:27 (two years ago) link
I think I just want them to push back more, and in S2, they do: when Logan offers Shiv a newly created post as President, she kind of rolls her eyes and asks if that means mascot.
Not sure if Holly Hunter will be back, but, as always, she was great (she reminded me a bit of Patricia Clarkson on House of Cards, this shadowy intermediary). And I hope Marcia's role is expanded from here on out; her absence for a couple of episodes hurt.

And, uh, obviously Kendall pushes back.

no steaks on succession? i beg to differ
(i searched for a picture of them eating steak but couldnt find one)

Boars--rare, like an aristocrat.
― clemenza, Monday, 28 February 2022 16:26 (two years ago) link
the show is good but what couldve made it really great is if when they were playing boar on the floor logan said "the winner of this game will be the successor" and the successor then entered into a series of intrigues which were resolved by seasons end, and in the next season there are more intrigues

A show focused entirely on Romulas's sex life, that's the spin-off the world is waiting for.

Took a break for a couple of weeks, finished S3 last night. About equal to S2, I think. I watch, I'm engaged, I like it, don't love it. Maybe I'm one of those rubes who needs someone to root for--if anything, I sometimes find myself rooting for Logan, who's at least authentic (and I like the ways--his smile, the tilt of his head--he keeps everything close to his vest). But I know he's awful, so "rooting" isn't exactly the right word. Found Kendall's breakdown in the finale moving (and wanted to throttle joke-machine Roman, but that's who he is too, anything else would be false). I actually missed the key point about Tom near the end of the finale until I read up afterwards. (One of my favourite things is when Tom and Shiv, working in tandem, clown around at someone's expense, usually Greg's. Tom, who's such a simp and a cipher at times, has a really funny, cutting sense of humour in those situations.)
― clemenza, Monday, 21 March 2022 13:44 (two years ago) link
I loved Roman in that scene - using his sociopathic wit to console Kendall and help someone else, for once.
― symsymsym, Monday, 21 March 2022 15:21 (two years ago) link
Definitely quotable: "I guess I'm just trying to say, like, who's the real victim here? I waited three quarters of an hour for a gin and tonic." Even Kendall started to laugh...Also loved Tom's line about Greg potentially being Europe's weirdest monarch.
― clemenza, Monday, 21 March 2022 15:39 (two years ago) link
Yeah you can really see how Roman has become trapped by his armor of misanthropy, this is what being emotionally supportive looks like because he literally cant do those other supportive things people do, like console, hug, hold eye contact etc. this *is* Roman being there for kendall
― terminators of endearment (VegemiteGrrl), Monday, 21 March 2022 16:20 (two years ago) link
yes
that deflective joke was love
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 21 March 2022 18:37 (two years ago) link
apparently kendall sitting on the ground was an improv move that ruined the continuity of every other take they'd done but it became the keeper
those angles, the bright day creating this deep focus that went for miles, roman standing in the background, it was like a fuckin.. idk giocametti sculpture or something

I’m about halfway through s2 of this and I honestly love it??? I’m on the episode where they have protests about their Nazi news anchor and it’s so good. “I’m intellectually promiscuous but culturally conservative”. I love most of these awful people, but I have to be honest and say I love love love when anything bad happens to Tom. What a cunt.

the hardest i've ever laughed at this show is when tom tried to say he'd never met greg and that cut to shiv losing her mind.

I've been watching Inventing Anna (against my better judgement) and Stewie and Tabitha from Succession are playing a married couple in it, it was confusing to me, if it is to be said.

Watching s2 for the second time (not seen s3). Didn't catch Shiv referring to Connor as "the first pancake" before (in the Dundee episode, I think.) Oof, lol.

rewatching for the (mumbled) time i tried to be nerdy & cool this time & watch objectively and admire the construction & figure out how early they were driving various story elements but it’s so easy to get sucked into the scene drama / dialogue i’m just going to be uncool & laugh along like a poor most shows don’t hold up this well for me

Rewatched the Kendall's 40th Birthday episode a bit ago, and it really is so perfectly made.

anyone seen THE MENU? thought it kinda sucked. while watching it I was thinking it’d make more sense as a three-episode prestige limited series on HBO or netflix or something, so it made a lot of sense when I learned that the director is the succession guy

basically it’s good if you go into it with the expectation that it’ll be a fun comedy-horror with good performances. if you’re expecting a smart satire you’re going to be disappointed.

i feel like they had 5 in them but if this season kicks ass front to back then good for them
