Succession Season 4 Thread (https://chiefsplanet.com/BB/showthread.php?t=348114)

Wow. Didn’t see that one coming

****ING HELL this show is god ****ing awesome. Just Jesus Christ, they get every ****ing little tiny detail absolutely right. Timing, blocking, cuts, and FFS the performances are all ****ing spot right the **** on.

Shit is a master class. Absolutely brilliant filmmaking. If you would have told me they'd make a show about ****ing billionaires, make them literally the worst people ever, put them in a super complex situation that I couldn't possibly relate to, and make them perfectly relatable and perfectly articulate where their heads are at through some glances, stuttering, and nuance, I'd have laughed you out of the room. But that's what happened.

And yeah, that is a ****ing haymaker. And seemingly out of nowhere.

Spoiler!

This show man...

Highly recommend watching the discussion post-episode about how they chained together the filming of this episode. Speaks to the brilliance of the entire process.

I honestly thought Tom and Logan were ****ing with the kids at first and he was faking. Wow.

Think we all kinda felt that and it was very deliberate on the part of production.

Phenomenal episode.

This show is definitely going to finish top 3 all-time for me.

Breaking Bad
Sopranos
Succession

This show is so good, it's disgusting. I cant believe we get 7 episodes

Spoiler!

. It feels downright luxurious.

I paused the show 30 minutes into this episode, turned to my wife and said almost this exact same thing. This show is a work of art.

I had to talk myself out of it repeatedly.

I thought it made sense dramaturgically

I'll have to check this show out sometime

I learned a new word. Thanks.

It's a direct quote from the post-episode interview with Jeremy Strong.

I thought he was BSing, and apparently so did a bunch of others, until I looked it up myself. The whole post-episode discussion is definitely worth watching.

It says more about the common schlepp watching the show to think a) you'd fake a medical emergency of someone with prior serious health issues and b) talk shit about someone using a multisyllabic word

Excuse me, but those commoners in the pit are suddenly having an opinion about MY show. How can they appreciate Shakespeare when they cannot appreciate a bath!?
