Who is your favourite characters in Succession. I thought this was one of the best shows I have seen in ages, can't wait for new season which will be out soon. Lots of great characters in it. Greg, Tom, Roman. Love to hear your take on it..

They are all despicable!

partystress · 29/09/2021 23:10

Cannot wait. Totally agree with PPs re Kendall. He’s utterly awful and like watching a car crash all the time, not just when he’s literally crashing cars, but I feel very protective towards him. Roman is more of a guilty pleasure. Tom is repulsive, which is brilliant acting given how lovely Matthew McFadyen really is.

SaborDeSoledad · 29/09/2021 23:14

I am fascinated by Marcia!

DrHildegardeLanstrom · 29/09/2021 23:19

Kendall is "a haunted hip-hop slinging, dead eyed try-hard... broken robot who lives to self sabotage his own attempts to grapple for control" (quote from the Succession podcast)

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 29/09/2021 23:22

Love this. Me and DH watch it together. Love Shiv although I think they're all terrible.

Myusernameisnotmyusernameno · 29/09/2021 23:23

@IrishMel

I love them all but they are all vile even Greg has a sneaky side and is not as stupid as he makes out. I cannot stand Shiv and the way she treated Tom on the wedding night. Loved the scene where Kendall was high and he was banging on the windows and had the showdown with his dad who is also a brilliant actor. Think it is next month new season is out. Season 2 ended brilliantly so cannot wait to see the fallout from that. So happy to see so many loved it also. As for Roman and his 'willy issues' he really comes out with great one liners. Best show seen in ages. Thanks for all your replies.
I didn't like that but Tom is a total creep to be fair.

I love the bit where Tom eats Logan’s chicken 😂

TeachesOfPeaches · 29/09/2021 23:36

When Tom believes his own self-importance has me cringing like when he thought he was in the 'wrong' panic room after shoving everyone out of the way during an active shooter by screaming 'EXECUTIVE COMING THROUGH'

LittleWingSoul · 29/09/2021 23:48

You can't make a tomlette without breaking a few greggs... Grin

stayathomer · 29/09/2021 23:58

I love that you jump into hating then pitying then loving each of them. The acting is amazing. I seem to have a thing for Kendall when he's doing the bad boy thing, there's times I find him gorgeous! Blush Hope next season Roman and Gerri properly get together!

TeachesOfPeaches · 30/09/2021 00:01

Roman has severe mommy issues, please no relationship with Geri Shock

LoganRoy · 30/09/2021 00:23

I am fascinated by Marcia!

Me too! There wasn’t a lot of her in S2, hope there is more in S3. Obviously I love the big man Wink but Roman is probably my favourite.

Someone described Harry and Meghan as looking Succession-chic on their recent NY trip, saying Meghan’s clothes wouldn’t have looked out of place on Shiv. Probably not the link they want!

To Teaches of peaches, the panic room where Tom went mental attacking Greg. He really needs Greg to need him as Tom is like a little child. Such a good show and so many funny things. Yes when Tom takes Logan's chicken was great and Logan's when he keeps saying'fuck off' to everyone. Will Marcia be back also as Logan realizes he misses her but he did treat her just awful.

My husband hates Roman the most, but I find him hilarious and at least he’s not a hypocrite, he tells is like it is.

The storyline of the older brother running for president makes my blood boil. So utterly delusional.

Lottapianos · 30/09/2021 09:07

How did I forget Caroline, their mother?! Played so beautifully by Harriet Walter in just a few episodes. She's just delicious

Shoxfordian · 30/09/2021 09:32

I love succession too! I work with someone who’s sister in law plays Shiv

I can’t wait for the new series

Justfivemoreminutesplease · 30/09/2021 12:34

Thanks @OrtolanVeil - Monday night’s TV is sorted then!!

PuppyMonkey · 30/09/2021 12:38

Oh fab - it’s back on Now TV on my birthday.

I love and hate every single person in the show. Also has the best theme tune in ages.

To Puppymonkey maybe Kendall will rap to you for your birthday. Something to look forward to cannot wait for new season. Best show have seen in years. How many times has Logan fired his friend who has worked for him for years. Will Shiv and Tom stay married as he has seen her for who she really is. Will Roman and Gerri have a fling. Will Marcia return. Will Connor be sectioned. So much to look forward to. Will Logan ask Tom why he ate his chicken?

We're away on holiday when it airs but I'll be catching up with it as soon as I can. My favourites wax and wane each episode. Think I'll always have a very big soft spot for cousin 'it's Gregory now'.

Is it still on Sky. If so I'll watch the last 2 series beforehand.

OrtolanVeil · 30/09/2021 16:21

I trust everyone sings along with the theme tune?

MolyHolyGuacamole · 30/09/2021 16:44

Greg the Egg! Love him, he's awkward but no fool, and has a conscience.

I love the dynamic between him and Tom, they make a great Tomlette!

And I loved that scene on the beach between Tom and Shiv where he finally told her about herself!

I love them all!

MolyHolyGuacamole · 30/09/2021 16:50

I loved Connor at the benefit when the butter was hard. It's so well written

I'm now in stitches again remembering this 😂

thisplaceisapigsty · 30/09/2021 17:45

Best theme tune and opening credits on any show, ever.

Lottapianos · 30/09/2021 18:29

'Best theme tune and opening credits on any show, ever.'

God yes. Absolutely stunning, and sets you up perfectly to have your nerves rattled!

I don't think I can watch it on a Monday. Monday is Only Connect and University Challenge in this house (saddos). Might save it for a Thursday!
