Succession Deserves the Hype 

The guy from Home Alone™

Stewy easily

probably greg, but kendall is insanely compelling

Tom The best of all by far

Kendall! Easily the most intriguing character I’ve seen in a long time.

Yesss!

@@yhavinmiles I see that but then I give to you this gem “I can promise you that I am spiritually and emotionally and ethically and morally behind whoever wins.”

Who actually said this line? I've watched the series 3 times but never heard it 🤷🏾‍♀️. Edit: Thanks guys, got it now.

make* not break

@@cinemadupapa Ooh yes. Got carried away I think. Thank you.

Yes... if it didn't show up another four or five times on average throughout the episodes anyways LOL

@@FallenTako but it’s more toned down

@@natebogosian true but I absolutely adore when they switch the instruments

@@FallenTako If I had AirPods glued into my ears the title theme would be the song I would play

Nicholas Britell is God

it honestly is, been trying to get my parents to give it a shot

it isn't pretentious or anything it just lays out the plot. Getting ppl to watch it is difficult cuz it's on the surface it seems like a show about rich ppl doing corporate stuff, which compared to crime/fantasy shows doesn't seem that intriguing

@@arafat9828 Yeah I actually couldn't pin point it.. but for some reason I was unsure about the show within the first few episodes. Was still interested enough to watch.. but if that was all I watched before stopping for a bit, I wouldn't think much about going back to it. But man am I glad I continued, bc it turned out to be the best show on television right now. Not to say the first couple episodes were bad or anything. But idk. Some of the acting and writing kinda threw me off a little bit I guess. But once you get into it.. you won't be sorry. Get to watching people

Not everyone likes psychology, economics, politics and dark humor. I personally love those subjects. I didn’t even try to get my sisters on it and all they do is watch tv shows 😂

I had to watch the first couple of episodes twice before I got into it, but yeah those episodes are definitely necessary to build their world. Because of the marketing, I thought it was going to be pure business drama. I absolutely love the business shit, but the humor in the show is what makes it fucking magical. I don’t know if it was as funny in the pilot as it eventually becomes (it’s been a long time since I’ve done a rewatch tho so I could be wrong). By episode 3 I was super intrigued and then episode 4 I was 1000% hooked. I also didn’t know that Jesse Armstrong who co-created Peep Show (which is one of the funniest shows ever) created this until my second attempt watching through it. I also had to try really hard to sell this show to my friends as a good show because they thought it was going to be purely a pretentious boring drama. The thing that ended up working were sending them Cousin Greg compilations lmao

Tbh it seems that Roman is putting on an act, his behavior has a defensive function

Roman was even a smart alec & condescending to the meth heads Kendall was consuming drugs with in their squalor! He couldn’t even pretend to be affable with men who could easily be loose cannons especially when under the influence of drugs!

This is exact moment is one of the most important details in this whole series and I never hear anyone talk about it. Thank you.

Roman is very protective over his family while simultaneously wanting to outperform all of them. Selfless and selfish.

surely deserved the emmy he won!

Kendall and Greg are the two best human beings in the Roy family, Kendall is probably gonna end up going full Corleone though and be worse than his own father. Of the Roy siblings, he’s definitely the best.

Yes! I can't wait to see my spotify wrapped this year - also "to the Press conference," IS SO GOOD

i play it every morning just to feel like i'm filthy rich as i look at my empty wallet q

@@MrJhose29 I got Strings Con Fuoco blasting in my headphones while I buy 7/11 coffee

kendall season 2 character arc is unreal

@@lynnkingpin So true. One of the best ever on television

Season 3: This guy is a douchebag

@@stronger195 Roman’s line, “Kendall will self destruct, because it’s his favorite” never felt so true right about now

@@stronger195 LOL I was about to write this

yeah!! you put it into words for me. i think they all suck, i think roman is so compelling because he doesn't even TRY to hide his feelings or intentions for the most part. the others, minus connor, who's got his own stuff going on, really try hard to, even if they really suck at doing it. roman knows he cant compete on that level, so he just doesn't.

Third season gave him a larger role and discovered his insecurities really well.

I’m late but, come to think of it, I kind of think the interaction with the baseball kid was his most evil moment on the show? Like with all the super offensive jokes he makes, I can’t really think of anything morally worse than that or the behavior of the other sibs?

I’ve never hated a character more after seeing the baseball kid scene but he’s starting to grow on me

More often than not a brutally honest evilness is far more hated than evilness that's a tad bit hidden.

Sopranos is the way to go

I have a big... BIG... BIIIIGGGGG... muscles!!! HAHAHA!!! What did you think I was going for? That's so DIRTY of you! GAGAGAGA!!! I am the funniest RU-vidr ever! Maybe that's the reason why I have TWO (!!!) HOT (!) GIRLFRIENDS. Thanks for being alive, dear ghez

We'll see if Karsten has the makings of a varsity athlete

I think it comes down to the general preference of the medium. If you like movies you watch a lot of movies and if you watch a lot of it you watch a lot of crap also. As he's not into TV shows he only watches them when he's really intrigued and there's a higher probability of liking it. While a person that watches a lot of TV can tell you that they also watch lots of crap sometimes.

MAD MEN

That was easily me with the second season finale too. I was just so shocked by most of it. Hope you enjoy the rest of the ride.

Wait till you finish season 2 👀

Season three ending completely blew me over.

Well spoken! I agree, Shiv is definitely one of the more complex characters. She has the “killer” instinct Logan referred to (ex threatening to bring down Waystar and Tom with cruise scandal to progress her career with Gill). All that said, she is captivating to watch. I’d love to see a serious rift / power struggle between Kendall and Shiv in the power vacuum Season 2 finale left us with.

the more 'unlikable' she became the more i loved her and cared about her character

I agreed..and damn she beautiful too

In my opinion, she's the one who, right from the get go, appeared as the most selfish out of the 4 kids (especially when it comes to her love-life). As the show went on, she started coming of as the most entitled and manipulative one. Eventhough these are adjectives that can be applied to most characters of the show. At least she stands up (at times) to her father, but never when in order to defend anyone other than herself (and Tom at the end of season2).

A big part of shivs character is that she THINKS she’s way smarter than she actually is. She definitely isn’t smarter than her brothers. Every time she’s given a chance to prove herself she goes in with way too much confidence and ruins it. I think Kendall is the smartest of the siblings

The biblical references tho. Mindblowing

@@AllIsSymbol BROOOOOO I haven't seen anyone talk about that man

It was a jaw dropper 😮

The thing that surprises me the most about this show is the writing. IT'S SO GOOD! The dialogs, character building, plot twists. But such a thing often gets overlooked for the likes of visuals or great action scenes in other kind of shows, like GoT (even though the writing also had it's moments there).

i mean it did win a golden globe and nine emmys so i do not really think its underrated in the film world, just for viewers since hbo is criminally underrated even though out of all of the streaming networks it produces the best quality of shows, i.e euphoria, succession, game of thrones, even the gossip girl reboot i feel if netflix tried for it it would sick and since it was hbo its really decent.

@C. V. I mean I’m 14 and Succession is one of my favourite shows. Obviously not everyone my age will enjoy succession, but I think more people need to give it a shot. Even now, after the third season, and it’s gotten more attention, still more people need to see it.

The reason why I, and many others, don’t like succession is because the business storylines are really stupid. I work in finance and I found myself astounded by the nonsensical bullshit they put in the show. It’s written for people who don’t understand business, and that’s fine, but many just can’t watch it because the business stuff is horribly under-researched

@@SuperParkerBrothers i see what you mean. i am a medieval-like king and i think most of "throne-politics" in GoT are utter bulshit.

Kendall 🙌

The Judas Kiss

@@fanboy5272 Michael’s kiss of death to Fredo

When he said "but" I literally jumped out of my seat and started jumping lol

Aww

Is there any news on that???

@@srizangupta1957 yeah I believe they finished filming

Not in 2021 that much I know

@@jaysh519 why do u say so??

Oof that was TENSE

Better than red wedding

@@iKnowAllo season 2 episode 3

Too Much Birthday gives that episode a run for it's money

Sorry that title belongs to Ozymandias of breaking bad lmao

And Tom is played by Mr Darcy from the Keira Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice!! Both so wild

OH SHIT

OMG!!!!!!!!! How did I miss that

Also Rome is Mcauley Culkin's real brother

Most importantly Greg is Zach from Sky High

prob how she’s kinda shitty to everyone lol even the ppl she loves( tom)

I like Shiv. I don’t know how to put it in words but she is a really great character. Though Tom deserves better.

@@lynnkingpin She’s doing all she knows how to do. The way Logan showed “his love” toward her, is the exact same way she shows love to Tom. I feel like she rlly WANTS to love him, but has absolutely no clue how. They’re complete polar opposites, both in their values and mannerisms etc (literally everything). And I want to blame her cause I genuinely hate the way she treats Tom but I also feel so bad for her. Idk, like another commentor said: she is very very complex.

@@choblgobblrr1074 I saw this post on tumblr (hear me out) that set Tom up as Eurydice and Shiv as Orpheus. Shiv wouldn't turn around, because either he'd be there and she'd kill him or he wouldn't be there and she's admitted weakness for nothing. But to Tom, her not turning around only shows that she's cold and unfeeling enough to turn her back on him. She tries to love him "it's just the wrong kind of love expression"

Absolutely

I think part of why that is, is because most of the writers are playwrights

if you havent seen it check out Deadwood. the dialogue in that gets real shakespeare

To be fair, most prestige TV dramas are Shakespearean

It also had my favourite Shakespeare quote - 'Just take the fucking money'.

hell yeah

so true .

the baby from family guy??????

I think The Thick of It (also part-written by Jesse Armstrong) would take that biscuit. Sample line: "Well come the fuck in or fuck the fuck off!"

I think it's tied with Veep. Those insults are next level.

The thick of it, which I think has the same creators behind it, takes the cake for insults in my opinion ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qjKHPv7b3fQ.html

That is not possible in a world where Deadwood exists.

I liked that detail too

right?? i was obsessed for weeks, i even named one of my playlists roman

You mean the kid who spilled the milk 🥛 in Home Alone?

Literally all of the Roy’s are attractive. Even Logan. He looks great considering his age.

Ehh, I disagree lmao. He is homely but he is rich, white, and somewhat charismatic which skews the audience’s overall perception of him. Outside the show he would not be cared for at all.

The preppy look is so good on him 👌🏻

I have never felt the urge for Ken to get trashed ever. Same for Gregg

dude be the og... a... n he playin!

I thought their behavior were too exaggerated and unreal Sad to hear is not true

@@adriantapia2744 fore some reason I was convinced that this is exactly how such large corporations operate from the beginning and it fealt very eye opening during the whole GME thing as it shows that there ist’t really a “system”. A system is just a couple of people doing whatever is in their best interest and fucking everybody else over in the process.

Murdoch family to a tea

I finished the 2 seasons last week because of this video and imo it's up there with The Sopranos, The Wire, Mad Men and Bojack Horseman.

Im looking for a new show, what’s the best out at the moment?? Or tell me your favourite please :)

@@nicksteini I think after the joy of succession is it rather difficult to find another show on its level. I think barry is a decent watch whilst you wait for season 3 to come out.

And she made Tom do THAT!

Short and straight

There’s a word for THAT! I can’t remember it but I’m sure it exists.

100% agree there is no better option ☝️😌

Anyone able to put a name on Roman's sexuality? I thought he was repressed gay to begin with, but now with the Tabitha morgue and the Gerri bathroom I am struggling to fathom his darkness

Same.

Mine too.. it's classy

same lmao

You should probably get new friends!

Now watch season 3 it’s coming out as we speak

@@justinhamilton8647 i have been! what have you been thinking so far…

Too bad it got cancelled, I loved it!
