Ouch, comparing Succession to an absolute masterwork like the Sopranos hurts…and shows that you probably don’t actually watch those shows but have them on in the background. And if Succession is such a character study, why do the writers pretend it’s something else? It was a really bad show, man.
its a character study, not a bombastic thriller. Same as the shows most folks rave about: Sopranos, Mad Men, Six Feet Under, The Wire, Arrested Development… its fine to not like anything but I’m not sure why you’d take time to write about how you don’t like anything. Do you find posts about, say, an art heist and post about how you haven’t liked any paintings in a couple centuries

what you dont know could fill a book I wouldnt put succession on the same tier as sopranos (very little comes close), all I was saying is its not about crazy plot twists, and more about the way the emotionally crippled kids of logan roy cosplay as human beings. I enjoyed it- jeremy strong and brian cox did a great job imo

Quite a lot happened in the Wire TBF (also I think it’s the strongest of the ones you’ve mentioned, largely for that reason…)

I guess… a lot of the time it was Landsman eating Arby’s at his desk

The Wire I finished but much of it felt like homework.
