    Does Succession actually get good? I've binged the first 3 and it's been three hours of the same relentless conversation between a cast of unlikeable people! Does anything ever happen of note soon?

    • No, it's not for you.palimpsest
    • Not really, and this sorta shit is right up my alley. I watched the first two seasons, and every episode drones on like the last.section_014
    • There's never going to be anybody to root for. Every episode is shitty people doing shitty things to each other.palimpsest
    • haha, I love the show and Hayzilla is 100% correct.dopepope
    • It's darkly hilarious. Greg is the best.mort_
    • Are you a yoghurt-weaving, linen clad, waxed muctachio'd hipster too, Hayzilla? 'cos that was pretty much exactly my feelings about Succession too.Nairn
    • They weren't even interestingly unlikeable. I was surprised I didn't much care for it, given how much I like Jesse Artmstrong's stuff. Oh well.Nairn
    • Soy boys.palimpsest
    • It's a sitcom, you're supposed to be laughingnb
    • The only character I find interesting/funny is Shiv's wife Tom. Home Alone's brother is probably supposed to be the comedy turn but he isn't.Hayzilla
    • It's like watching Wile E Coyote, you know they're gonna fail, that's not important. It's seeing the way the fail. The comedy is in the hits.palimpsest
    • Every character is comedy. Imagine you're watching Peep Show. That's the vibe.nb
    • Like an entire show of Johnsonnb
    • Have you guys seen 'Fresh Meat' that Jesse Armstrong co-wrote? If not, do.Nairn
    • +1 for Fresh Meat. But Succession is so worth sticking with. They're all twats and that's a key reason why it's great.MrT
    • If you don't like the first three episodes you probably won't like the rest of the series though. It stays consistent all throughout.palimpsest
    • Yes, I've seen Fresh Meat, Peep Show & Thick of it. This show is nowhere near. I think he phoned it in!Hayzilla
