Succession from the beginning

I've only just recently started watching this. I'm on S2 E2. Does anyone else want to chat about it?

Tom gives me serious ick (to use a MN phrase). He was hot in Spooks but he's gross and obsequious in Succession. I actually prefer any of the others cause at least they own the fact that they're assholes.

I've started watching again, having only got half way through season 1 last time.

What is Tom's job? I have no idea what he does.

They're all creepy. All the men. Connor is weird as anything.

Tom is the Chairman of ATN (American TV News) - the news TV channel owned by Waystar. It's basically like Fox News

XelaM · 07/06/2023 21:48

Sorry I meant ATN = American Television Network

XelaM · 07/06/2023 21:49

And Connor is definitely my favourite of the kids 🤣 but my favourite character is Stewy. He's just hot 😍

WellTidy · 07/06/2023 21:51

They’re all bloody awful people, they just seem to get worse!

I binge watched every series until the current one (the one that’s just finished) as I was very late to the party. It is the perfect way to watch.

Enjoy!

Don'tcallthepolice · 07/06/2023 21:52

Jealous you get to enjoy it from the start!

Figgygal · 07/06/2023 21:54

They're all despicable
Loved it

Blankscreen · 07/06/2023 21:56

They are all arseholes 😂

Finished it last night

I like cousin Greg, always seems to worm his way in.

RumNotRun · 07/06/2023 22:39

I'm rubbish with remembering names. Which ones are Connor and Stewey? I feel sorry for Greg but at the same time I want to shake him and tell him to stop being such a drip. Kendall has been my favourite so far although he gave up too easily IMHO.

Connor is the eldest son from Logan's first marriage. He's the one with Willa 😂

Stewy is Kendall's friend from uni who he got into business with (see photo)

What does Stewy do? Apart from have loads of money. I’ve never really understood.

XelaM · 08/06/2023 03:34

He's a private equity investor and the son Logan always wanted but never had with his own idiotic kids 🤣

RumNotRun · 08/06/2023 06:33

Ah yes! Stewy is hot and much more suited to being Logan's son than the others.

I spent the first couple of episodes trying to work out why Roman looked so familiar till I looked it up and found out he's Macaulay Culkin's brother.

MelonsOnSaleAgain · 08/06/2023 06:39

Oh I just started watching recently and I’m on S2e2 I think.

Brian Cox is great! Love him as Logan. Fantastic character.

Connor is completely unhinged. Kendall is too easily led. Roman is a typical stupid rich kid. Shiv I don’t trust an inch.

can anyone tell me what Greg does? Is he just following Tom about?

I think in the beginning, Tom is in charge of resorts?

I imagine the Roy empire as a cross between a massive TV & news company, and Disney,

I think Tom is in charge of the American resorts region (it seems there are global ones too).

#Too Invested!!!

I’m halfway through season 4 and have to say I’m struggling to bother with it. I think the problem is I detest them all so much I actually don’t care who gets it all.

winewolfhowls · 07/07/2023 18:51

We're half way through season one I think, just watched the one where Tom 'swallows his own load'🤮 he's definitely the creepiest!

Handsnotwands · 07/07/2023 18:54

Connor is Cameron from ferris beuller’s day off

lifeissweet · 07/07/2023 19:11

You've probably seen this, but I just remembered it and it's brilliant:

LaffTaff · 07/07/2023 20:49

I was late to the party too. Loved it (thought Kendall was a brilliant character), binge watched, finished it, hated the ending. I just avoid HBO stuff now.

BillyBraggisnotmylover · 07/07/2023 20:58

Another one jealous you get to watch it from the beginning. It’s probably in my top 5 TV shows ever - maybe even top altogether

This is amazing 😂

Mother87 · 07/07/2023 21:03

Love it! Watching it all again from the beginning. Roman's my favourite - so irreverant & dgaf... they're all AWFUL peopleGrin

PuppyMonkey · 07/07/2023 21:16

Ah, OP, you’re in for a treat. There will be shenanigans. Tom is utterly horrible and yet you may very well end up loving him. Very similar for all the characters.

I have the theme tune as my ringtone.
