Said it a few weeks ago and it needs repeating, Succession is absolutely brilliant.

Best show on TV at the minute by an absolute mile and anyone not on board with it is missing out.

Ill concur. Even the kinky stuff with the oul blade 😉😃

I'm not as big a fan of this as everyone else. It is good yes but it's not as good as made out I think. I'd have it on a par with Billions but not on the level of a Sopranos/West Wing/Breaking Bad etc.

Can I revise my opinion?? The 2nd season was pretty f**king class!!!

What's all this fuss around Fleabag? Started watching lately, and i don't see much to laugh about.

Main Street

Succession 2 droned on to another dead end, setting up the tv zombies for a s3. Why did they not just wind it up and say "its a wrap".
  Afaics the main entertainment  comes from the drone Kendall Roy character who is the spittin' image of and (probably) based upon Mark Zuckerberg.
I can't think of a more corporate lying sack of fascist sht than the public persona of Zuckerberg, the similarity with the on screeen depiction (Kendall Roy) in this drama is uncanny.

Have caught up with Titans (Comic) TV series and have thought the casting is spot on and well worth watching

Do you copy and paste somebody else's opinion on every thread or just this one?

Nordie Tayto is shite

Thought last nights episode of Power was as good as there has been in a long time.

Finale next week (possibly)

I didnt enjoy last nights so much. Thought there were bits that were a bit wtf.
Looking forward to next weeks but think its like a mid season finale. There are a few episodes in January i think to tie it up.

The WTF bits could have been that so much was happening - given how the last few episodes have went it was about time they had a good episode

The way that ***** was killed didnt fit with the image though.
Couple of other things i thought this is going a bit off the script type of thing. I actually really enjoyed the 2 episodes before that.

Really looking forward to next weeks. Some show.

Have been watching Perpetual Grace LTD on TG4, it's very good

I'm watching Mr. Mercedes season 3 at the moment, Kate Mulgrew who was mostly known for playing captain Janeway in Star trek is one of the most psychotic characters i have seen in a TV show.

Yeah plays that role well also, would remind me of Big B from the 80s TV show prisoner cell Block H.

I think Succcession has fallen into a pit of regurgatating soap, when it looks like soap, smells like soap, it is soap.

You're on the money there.
