It definitely seems to be me in opposite world!
But that said, I buried a good friend yesterday, and I'm more angry than sad since she died last Thursday, because of the circumstances, so I may be a bit mental. More than usually.

Sorry to hear that mate
Cheers dude, forget my ramblings and I will rewatch it in the future and return either aplogetic or stubbornly emboldened!
We both know it will be the latter!
My mom's mom was on her literal last leg when my aunt called us from the hospital (she died less than two hours after the phone call). The phone scene was extremely close to what was transpiring on our end, trying to find the correct words while beginning the stages of grief over the loss of her. Sure, it may have had a theatrical flair, but the confusion, the guilt, the pacing around, the trying to act as a family when we really weren't, it all rang very true to me as I am sure it did for countless others.
Condolences, brother.
Yeah, I love how it just happened offscreen, and not much attention was paid to logan actually dying but more the kids finding out.
Thank you. It didn't even cross my mind until a few mins ago. I watched it last night after the funeral and never made even the slightest connection.
This is so so good. Few things that aren't mentioned enough:
- Logan Roy was such a cnut, the kids are actually far better people than you would expect considering who was supposed to be their idol for their entire life
- "I've got three or four people Gregging for me"
Little bit of criticism, I thought Gregg taking the news was really poor written+acted, he wasn't even surprised or even asked what happened. It's like he watched the first half hour with us, and then Tom called him, and he was completely on touch with it.

I can imagine being emotionally drained would seriously affect how you watched that episode.
It never crossed my mind until a whole day of literally everybody just 100% disagreeing with me. Usually a couple of loons agree with me.
To be fair, we might just be a consensus of idiots. It is the Caf, after all.
That said, the episode is currently a 10.0 on IMDB, and I'm honestly not sure I've ever seen that before a few days after airing (or maybe at any point, ever). 16k votes too. It'll drop, but I reckon it will remain one of the highest rated episodes of television ever.
Well done me.
Clearly not that good. I'd say 7/10.
Ozymandias (Breaking Bad S5E14) first aired almost 10 years ago and is still rated 10.0 now.
Damn man sorry to hear that, hope you’re doing ok
Cheers brother.
Sorry for your loss, Mo.
Liked this video. Think it's very true how I am constantly back and forth between liking and despising her character. Maybe not liking but like the video says you can empathize with her at times.
Sarah is a brilliant actor.

The last episode was one of the best I've seen on TV and up there with the best of The Wire, The Bureau, and Nirvana in Fire (which are probably the three best TV shows I've ever seen).
This was a great article on the subtle implications for the fashion showcased on the show

So I didn't get to see this until last night as I was waiting until I was at my partner's house.
I honestly can't tell you if this episode was any good or not.
After avoiding spoilers all week, I happened to see this Daily Mail front page online which spoiled the big plot point.
What the feck? Has a newspaper ever put such a massive fecking spoiler as the leader on its fecking front page before?
I was fuming throughout and couldn't really take it in.
We've both lost parents and both said how they captured exactly what it's like.
I'll need to rewatch when I'm less furious with those cnuts at The Daily Mail. It would be fecking them, wouldn't it?

That's so shitty but I expect nothing less from that bunch of cnuts.
I half believe they did it on purpose as most Succession viewers probably have such disdain for the likes of The Mail.
Wouldn't put it past them, but putting spoilers on the titles is something they always did and never cared about.
I don't think there's anything particularly sophisticated about Succession viewers.
I am fecking amazing tbf.
You're Amarzing.
That's planned. They probably got lots of shit on Twitter etc but all that equals in social media engagement so job done.
Proving your own point.
Good job.
Oh my, that is one feckup from DM. Never failing to continuously be top bellends in the world of media.
I'm not in the habit of proving other people's points.
The last episode was co-written by Jamie Carragher. Not bad for a Scouse.
It was incrediblely well done and hit very close to home. I remember the phone call I got when my father died. The confusion and the constant what’s actually happening? And the need to take care of things and arrange shit while you’re still in grief. The suddenness with which death arrives and how surreal it feels.
Tears in my eyes while watching it. So damn powerful.
Hats off to the creators, one of the all time best pieces of television I’ve seen. Masterpiece.
But there was no spitting in the episode?
Deleted scene. Gerri straight-up hocked a loogie into Rom's face after he broke the bad news about her job. He obviously loved it.
Ffs, never know why they cut out such important scenes. Explains Rom's awkward hugging throughout the episode, clearly hiding a hard-on
