Television Succession

The show's setting is so pompuous and jazzed up, there would always be a thin line between quality and cringe. So maybe it's a blessing in disguise (TM) that they end it on their terms, because there is no middle ground: the moment they'd try to "artifically" milk more seasons out of the story it would turn south. Last season's final was also a natural setup for the show's final act, it may have been hard to go for yet another lap or more after that - I think we all know those shows, that end up losing themselves, stacking painful "twists" and escalations upon each other to somehow stretch things out.
 
Matthew Macfadyen had the personality of a shoe in Ripper Street so I'm surprised that Tom is such a diverse character.
 
So glad this is finally here, already getting The Last of Us withdrawals.

Slowly watch The Last of Us lately. Episode 3 is perhaps the best episode of standalone TV I've ever seen. Ron Swanson was beyond amazing.
 
Yep. Just rewatched last season’s finale & primed the pump perfectly for tomorrow.

for God sake, why is it not kick off yet?
 
Are all episodes out or just one?
 
Fairly certain it's one a week, has HBO ever dropped a season in one fell swoop? I think they kick it old school as a policy.

Yeah, probably it's one every week knowing it's HBO. Probably even better.
 
I’m so ready to see what happens next with Tom fecking Wambsgans.

Him and Greg, as they are attached at the hip.

But Tom did the ultimate power move at the end of season 3. Shiv had it coming and Tom finally sent it. What an insane ending for tonight.
 
Is it weekly episodes from today or all of them?

I've stayed away from as much news and stuff as possible. I'm assuming 1 episode per week starting today

Edit: Nevermind just seen it's 1 per week, also on Sky Atlantic in just over 90 mins :D

Interesting episode that


Feel like they totally just got baited into buying PGN for way too much on purpose. Tom phoning Shiv to tell her he was with Naomi etc

Plus how much Logan made Tom communicate with the siblings made me think it was a deliberate play by Logan

"Who wants to smell Gregs finger" is an all-time great line :lol:

I would strongly doubt that, when nan said she wasn't taking another bid, logan told Tom to tell her he'd beat it, and the kids weren't on the phone at that time so it seems massively unlikely that logan would be doing this just to bait the kids, then trying to get Tom to beat their bid

Spoiler shit like this.
