“I just do what my dad tells me”
Well that was the most stressful episode of Succession I’ve ever sat through. Scratch that, I was pacing for most of the episode. At one point I hid behind my couch, curled up, peaking over the cushions through my fingers trying to put as many layers between my eyeballs and the trainwreck I was watching unfold. I became so p...

Since his stroke in the first episode, Logan Roy’s mortality has loomed over Succession. It is a looming existential dread that backgrounds every character’s decision. Hell, it’s right there in the title of the show: Succession. This is a show about what happens when Logan dies.
That mo...

“What are you watching?” is pretty much the automatic question I get when I tell people what I do for a living.
As the TV year is picking up this fall, I don’t have time to do full conversations on everything I’m watching but I’m going to keep doing these roundups each month for the rest of the year. Some mild spoilers for shows that are not in season 1, including a play-by-play...

Succession is about a lot of things, from family to money to power to the best way to enjoy a glass of wine. But at its core, Succession is about the end of the American Century, about an impending collapse, and—well—climate change.
2021-10-29 03:33:40 +0000 UTC View Post“Who ends up King Potato?”
Succession is a show about many things, but one of its central ideas, with its endless obsession over who will be Logan’s successor, is to compare modern day corporatism and capitalism to monarchy. With each of Kendall’s attempts to kill the king, he’s gotten a little closer (vote of no confidence, bear hug, and now press conference), and for the first...

Season 3 of Succession, the dramedy following the wealthy, powerful, and despicable Roy family picks up right where season 2 ended — just moments after Kendall’s bombshell press conference — where he stuck a full-sized broadsword in his father Logan’s back. The family company, Waystar Royco, is embroiled in a sexual abuse scandal. The company has been ...

For most of this year, it was a really hard question to answer—mostly because there wasn’t that much interesting stuff going on. Usually in July I’ll make a list of the top 10 shows of the year so far, but I honestly couldn’t think of 10 shows I had watched and ...

Something that’s interesting about TV is that because it’s so formulaic, shows can be in direct dialogue with their predecessors. More than film, genres have really rigid conventions that shape everything from story to lighting and setting to the physical confines of runtime.
