Succession follows the saga of the Roys, a fictional, American global-media family that is not only rich and powerful but also powerfully dysfunctional. The drama will explore family loyalty, international business and the perils of power in the 21st century.
The list of nominees is interesting:
-Andor
-Better Call Saul
-House of Dragon
-The Crown
-The Last of Us
-The White Lotus
-Yellowjackets
I watched Andor, which is great, struggled through House of Dragon, then skipped to the end and watched the finale of Better Call Saul, and dropped/ignored the rest of them. I don't know of any other show that's of the same production quality of Succession, like, no previous Emmy winner for Best Drama (not mini-series/TV Movie) could best it, in an awards show. The West Wing? Sopranos? Mad Men? Game of Thrones? Nah. And what's funny is that I'd never re-watch it, lolz.

Really hit home how futile the dipshit kiddies big biz corporate aspirations are. Just take it easy ffs. Buy a house like that and dick around all day. Enjoy the millions you already have. Morning swim, rum punch, loaf in the sun, leisurely lunch, arvo siesta, fun dinner, bit of music in the evening then beddie byes. No big biz stress, just enjoying the life that's right there on tap for you forever and ever.
From what I read, such a life can get boring quickly. I can see myself still wanting to work as a billionaire. Balancing it with taking it easy is probably a challenge.

No character development? totally disagree but yeah its mostly about how awful

4x10 - With Open Eyes
Empty people learning they are empty. I'll be honest, it's kind of a dumb show when there's zero character development. lolz. A well produced ride to nowhere.

So who "won" The Game of Thrones I mean Dickheads?
Matsson the slightly dippy bullshit artist that's who Tom CEO. Also "won" although he is totally expendable so he aint "won" shit at all. The eurodickhead's "pain sponge" Greg: Haha, CEO Tom will pay dumbarse Greg a dogshit salary of 20k and Greg will just eat shit. Although doesnt Greg still have the files on Tom? Shiv: shanked Ken. To stay close to the $$. Too scared Ken would fuck her bottom line. She has to always win or at least never lose. Hugo, Gerri, Karl and Frank slither their way in but swedewank is about to shitcan Karl and Frank Waldorf lol Kendall: laughing stock. always has been but now he really knows it. Roman: also fucked but also seemed to come to terms with it. "We're all bullshit". Willa: LOL trying to get away from poor Con. With 20 mins to go in the entire series I thought that scene showing Con basically losing her was kind of unnecessary. Colin: that final scene of him trailing Ken in the park. He still has the dirt on him killing someone and always will haha
Liked the setting of Mummy's luxury country villa. Really hit home how futile the dipshit kiddies big biz corporate aspirations are. Just take it easy ffs. Buy a house like that and dick around all day. Enjoy the millions you already have.

Now that was a decent ending. So much back-stabbing, so many twists and turns and some damn fine acting to boot.

Ep 8, great episode angle, the media heads shaping the election.
The "media heads" being dipshit lost boy Ken, evil conniving Shiv and idiot child Roman. LOL.
Tom and Gregg were in top form. Totally stupid how people keep trusting Gregg with the inside goss.
Have we been shown why this Prez Mencken is so evil? Shiv was absolutely distressed as shit when he won. Or was that just cos her conniving with Matsson had just gone belly up?
only 2 eps left, guess the funeral and some election/Matsson fallout. Surely not enough time to bring into play
- the files Gregg has
- Ken killing that guy a few seasons ago
- Marcia swooping in and rogering the lot of them
There was another red herringish one I was thinking of but damnit I forgot...

Rocky_Rock_Rockbottom: sadly, in some companies, being part of the family is enough to qualify you for even higher positions.
Ha. Greg. Nepotism at it's finest.
Just finished 1x7 and 1x8. Shiv getting her comeuppances. Some actual work being done was kind of refreshing, although extremely phony, as though there wouldn't be WAY more commotion by every staff member in the ATN building during election night, and the decision to call it made by a team of experts. lolz. :rolleyes: An episode where I thought the events didn't play out as realistically as the rest of the series. Needed Aaron Sorkin to write and direct that episode like The Newsroom.
