Succession - anyone watching/watched?

[QueenOfOversharing]

I love Succession. Brian Cox is such a fantastic actor - just perfect for the part of Logan. Greg & Tom are hilarious. Roman is just brilliant.

Who's watching? Thoughts? I just finished season 2 and it's the best show I've watched in ages!

Anyone?

Yes! I'm a big fan! I found the first episode or so of Season 1 hard going as they're pretty much horrible characters - it's hard to find someone to root for! The writing and dialogue are so good though and I've become quite fond of some of the characters once you get to know their background, the kids all obviously had such crap childhoods - poor Roman being stuck in a cage playing the dog! Tom is hilarious! The congressional hearing was priceless! If you've not seen this sketch, it's brilliant!

Ooooooh I'm glad I'm not the only fan. Yes, can you imagine their childhoods? Logan is awful! When Greg was at the hearing, I was laughing so hard! He's a fantastic character!! I'm going to watch that now.

Omg that is fantastic!!! 😂

I finished series 2 last night. I thought it was really good. Great acting!

I'm about 5 episodes into Season 1 and really enjoying it. It's my treadmill watch to encourage excercise!

@SarahBeeney the acting is superb - most of the characters are really interesting, which is so unlike a lot of tv. I guess it's not just plot driven. I wonder if there's another season coming. I haven't checked.

@vjg13 ooooooh I'm so jealous that you still have so much to watch. You'll be running a marathon on the treadmill soon!

Saw this Succession themed dig at Boris Johnson this morning - cleverly done! mobile.twitter.com/jondharvey/status/1192029660886061062

@LittleLebowski that is a thing of beauty!!! Had to RT it immediately!! Thank you thank you thank you. 😂

Adore this show. The twists at the end of both seasons were absolutely gob smacking, doesn't happen often.

@Findumdum1 agreed. Best telly I've seen in a while and so many of my friends love it too. I think I'll watch it again soon.

I just looked for Succession on Amazon Prime but it's not one of the free Prime shows so would have to buy it. Is it on somewhere else?

It's the best! Was gutted when I finished it

@sunshinethroughmywindow it's on Now TV if you haven't got Sky, as the channel is Sky Atlantic. You can prob get a free month & watch it all in that!

@Pooshweens are they planning a 3rd series? I dunno if I dreamt that. I was so gutted to finish it too.

Queen of oversharing. Many thanks I've got Sky so I'll find it on catchup. Just finished Offspring on Netflix which is fantastic, funny and moving .

It was fantastic. Best thing I’ve seen probably. It ropes you in from a fairly unlikeable first episode (or the people were). Practically Shakespearean in the plot.

@sunshinethroughmywindow hope you enjoy it! I don't know Offspring but I'm off to check now. Thank you!

@MarshaBradyo spot on and did you find yourself changing how you felt about the characters? I can't stop raving about it.

Yep totally I ended up loving Tom.
I loved the Dad all the way through his ability to say fuck off and his look whilst he said it was brilliant it.
Greg was absolutely fantastic.
And I didn’t love Shiv as she was so spoilt and mean to Tom but loved how that story unfolded with the succession part.
I ended up not liking Nate and loved the wedding scene with the wine poured back so much.
Oh and Roman went from not liking to liking him

I could rave too. I intend to watch it all again so good
I actually watched the first part of s1 again and the character arc for the Kendall is incredible

Logan Roy was just perfect! He's from very near my hometown, so I feel a special closeness with him (character & actor)! Lol.

I hated Roman at first, then ended up loving him. And Greg!!!

Just started Season 2, loved Season 1.

I absolutely love it and hope for a third season 🙏🏻

@vjg13 ENJOY! I'm so jealous of you having that still to watch!!

@DirtyDeeds me too!

I'm searching for things to fill the time, and just discovered The Sinner (very different, but absolutely compelling).

Loved it. Hoping for a third season. I'm Scottish so was particularly amused by the hearts/hibs stuff in series 2.

@WhatWouldTheDoctorDo me too! My hometown is 15 miles from Dundee, so I felt very passionately about Brian Cox and Logan! My step dad was a Hearts supporter so it did make me laugh!
