Title: Succession
Post by: dom on March 25, 2023, 01:55:38 PM
Sesson 4, the last😓 of Succession starts on Monday. I re-watched the last 2 episodes of S3 in preparation.

I absolutely love this show. The Roys must be the most dysfunctional family out there but also the most entertaining. Who will come out on top? How much more humiliation can Kendall take? Will Rome survive sending a dick pic to his dad? Will Shiv come on top despite her brothers' and husband's best efforts. Will dim but relatively mild mannered Greg continue to survive in this nest of vipers. Will the slightly deranged Connor end up US President. And will ready for the grave Logan outrun them all? I can't wait!

Top show, amazing acting. Just watched S4.1 and every bit as good as what has gone before. Loved the bidding war.

Not here, but I'm finding it hard to avoid spoilers, so I'm going to start.

I think that makes sense. You'll do very well to avoid spoilers between now and the end.

I watched the first 2 episodes last night then saw a spoiler for episode 3 on the front of a national newspaper today. Balls.

Episode 5 was amazing - a great ending.

Such a good show! Razor sharp script delivered by an amazing cast. Each episode deserves more than one watch as so much is packed in it is easy to miss stuff.

Mattson really came to the fore last night and his perplexing character leaves you constantly wondering what he really wants. Rome really seemed to be showing himself as a serious character and Shiv appears to be playing a very clever game. Tom's character just gets worse with each episode and where Tom goes Greg doesn't fear to tread

Yes so far this series has been a corker. Excellent plot writing.

So it seems the slippery slope has started - maybe. Karl* was great in the last episode.

*Who remembers the TV show Sledgehammer?

Kendall's high point yesterday I think.  That was a difficult speech with what happened before and during and he coped well.  Think its a downward slope from here but I could be wrong.

Episode 7 - Brilliant again and I've no idea where this is heading.

I'm hoping bad things for Greg - the worse the better. Nasty, deluded hanger on!

Knowing this show probably the opposite will happen. Tom (Matthew Macfadyen) was on fire in the last episode. What a tremendous actor he is.

As was Shiv, that's some f*cked up stuff going on there.

Just one more to go, 1.5 hrs... hope it wraps up well. Loved it all so far.

Yes, finished episode 9 just now. Some great lines in this, I laughed out loud a few times.

Yes, all done and a fine ending, but I think it had run its course tbh. Any more would have been too much.
