Agreed on Kin, the second series has been a major improvement on the third.
As fir Succession, I'm not really into it this series.  The balcony scene was OK.  Just arguing really.  I think it's been disappointing I'm honest

This latest episode of succession has been shite. Killed off the best character

IMO the best episode of the season was the episode after that.

Not sure if either have been mentioned but Serioes 2 of Sweet Tooth is on Netflix. It's about a disease wiping out mankind while hybrid animal-kids are blamed and hunted.

Such an odd show that could be so despressing but it is actually uplifted by the kids and the good guys. There is one little character called Bobby (an animatronic groundhog in a dungarees) and he has some hilarious moments. Just be warned it may seem like a kids show, but there is a fair bit of violence.

Also, Series 2 of The Curse on Channel 4 is something you will tear through. A bunch of dimwits rob a load of gold in East End London and are on the run now. The comedian Tom Davis wrote some of it and he plays a character called Big Mick Neville - gold dust! Again, you can see it on the C4 Player and you will fly through it.

Thanks for the head's up. Really enjoyed that and series one.

Watched Red Rose on Netflix.  A mixed bag.  First episode is pretty crap, and ended up forwarding through a lot of it.  Gets interesting then for a while, but the last few episodes take it down.   

It's entertaining enough, and the kids act well, and are generally pretty charming,  but you can't think too hard about it or it all falls apart.

Watchable and entertaining. Not exactly good though

Amazed at the stock put in the media during election night.  Is that close to reality?

Maybe I'm a bit slow or dozing when I watch this but it reminds me if Billions in a way.  I get the gist but find the detail difficult to follow.  Maybe that's just me?

I think so.  MAGAs still haven't forgiven Fox News for calling Arizona for Biden.

Yes.

It can take six weeks before results are officially certified by state government. Absentee and mail-in ballots have to be counted, usually after the election date. The media organizations keep a tally of the counted and outstanding vote and, based on their analysis, can usually call the winner of a particular race that same night.

Works fine the vast majority of the time.

The example Succession used of what would happen if a building where 100K absentee votes were stored was torched was an extreme example of what could go wrong, but in reality I seriously doubt if any semi-serious cable news operation would even try to get away with what the company in question did in that episode. Certain politician(s) would all right.

What way do we think Succession ends??

My 2 cents - as they are 3 big spoilt rich kids clearly out of their depth I expect all 3 to end the series getting shafted business wise, cant see how they lose their money. I think Tom wamsgam comes out smelling of roses and Greg will follow as his very rich lackey.

Watched bit of that Brian Cox interview yday on bbc, he surmised Logan wasnt dead but just did it so as he could see from afar how the 3 children got on. Extremely unlikely of course but would be some move to get it resurrected in a couple of years 😃

Aside from that theres a lot to sort in a "final episode"
