Succession [HBO] *Spoilers*

I never really got into this 1st time round, and watched snippets of it when the OH was binging on it.

We have now started to rewatch it all, and I am on Episode 4 of S1.

Although most of it is very good and I can see why its so well reviewed, I do find some of the characters grating, and for me it stops it being up there with the really great TV shows.

Roman is just too OTT, like he is put into the show for shock value.

As for Greg and Tom, again weak points. Its like they are put in there for cheap comedy value. If this was real world, there is no way those 2 guys would ever get within a million miles of their positions. The show does 'serious' and 'big business' so well, but I find any time these guys are on-screen, they dumb down the show.

But perhaps its just me? I'll watch it out now to the end of S2 and see what I think at the very end.

Can anyone remind me how long episodes are available to view on ‘first showing’ – the 9 episodes come out once/week from 17 Oct to 12 Dec (according to Wikipedia), so if I (re-)joined for a single month on, say, 13 or 14 Nov, would I be able to see the first 4 episodes as well as the final 5?

The third season of Succession will receive its UK premiere on Sky Atlantic on Monday October 18th at 2am, simulcast with HBO’s east coast feed. The series premiere will also be repeated later the same day in the show’s regular 9pm time-slot.

I'm rewatching Season 2 before Season 3 comes out. Just so damn good. Tom is such a great character. Everyone else you mostly despise because they're a prick, but can sympathise with a little. Tom is more sympathetic than the rest but can also be an absolute bellend of the highest degree too.

I think Tom is one of the meanest to those under him (where he really goes out of his way to demean anyone he has a little bit of power over), but it's him trying to exert power because he's so stepped on by Shiv and everyone else. There are bits like Shiv making him agree to have an open marriage, and pretty much telling him she slept with someone else, you can see how much it hurts him. Likewise with Greg a bit, I think he's incredibly mean to Greg but he also really likes and trusts him and doesn't want him to leave.

Great to have it back.

Kendall setting up his base of operation in his ex wife's house was a bit ridiculous though.

Why didn't Kendall just go to his own house/apartment?!

Great episode all the same

"Do you want to suck my d*ck?"

Roman- "He says to his son in the midst of sexual assault allegations".

Superb line 😂

I think its that his apartment is paid for by the company, so he's not able to use it as they're shutting him out. He likely also knew they'd be watching it to see who is coming and going so he wanted somewhere they might not think of.

It is him.

Looks a great show, good actors etc. I watched the first 20 minutes of episode 1 and the weird camera movement done my head in, cant watch movies or shows like that. Is this right throughout every episode? If so Ill give it a miss.

I see episode 2 is on Monday at 2am on Sky Atlantic, looks like they are going to do this weekly so US pace.

I also had a look at episode 1 of Season 1, attracted by the great cast. I don't think you can be lukewarm on it as it's a very ugly world and I just found I disliked them and their lives entirely and passed on it.

Thought episode 1 of season 3 was fantastic, possibly one of the best so far.
