Watching Succession - Question

[Easily_Remembered]

Is anyone in this show likeable, or are they all cunts?

The characters on Oz were more likeable. And that show was also entertaining. Once you finish Succession you will never watch it again.

Cousin Greg kinda rules. But yes the whole point is they are spoiled cunts who don't deserve to take over the company.

They're all cunts. Funny cunts, Cousin Greg and Tom are hilarious together and Roman is the best character on the show, but still cunts.

Every single character is likeable, and a cunt. Cheering for your favorite horse is reddit shit.

And photoshopping them is Kiwi shit.

I can't stand it when people say they can't enjoy a show as nobody is likeable. You don't need a friend in the show to like it do you?

Be careful, you might insult our resident Kiwi greasy potato face photoshopper.

I liked Logan,Tom and Karl, but I'm something of a cunt myself.

I liked the Tom and Greg dynamic but finding out that reddit was gay for them kinda spoiled it a bit. I assume the whole show was an excuse to film in expensive locations with lots of rich people toys.

The best part of the show was that everything was at least real. Real Rolex and Patek watches, actual NYC penthouses, giant yachts, tons of helicopter rides where they actually show them flying and taking off and landing. You watch almost any other show about wealthy families and businessmen and there is no immersion at all.

Watch any other show about 'corporate' power and it looks pathetic in terms of the scale.

I like the show. It's just interesting to find a show where there are no real "good guys". Probably a realistic portrayal of that corporate level.

The way it's shot is pretty unique too and contributes to the immersion. The cameras feel like uninvited guests when there's lots of people around. There are extras passing by in the shot during conversations at parties and the strange far away angles are done specifically to make you feel like you're watching something you shouldn't be. It kinda taps into your sense of voyeurism. You rarely ever see a straight up over the shoulder shot. It's also one of the best acted shows in a long time, the peripheral reactions from people make it seem real and you catch a glimpse of it which in most cases is enough to add a lot of nuance to a scene.

This also relates to OPs question. No one in this show is likeable but for everything that happens someone is getting the shitty end of it and you find out before they do most of the time. Whether you like the characters or not you have a reason to watch them because they all choose to be there and get some measure of punishment over the course of the whole story
