[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I personally saw this episode as a possible foreshadowing of 2024 and it made me sick. I was down all night. [/quote] I agree. I found it very sickening to watch.[/quote] I agree. It was disaster porn and lazy writing. [/quote] This episode was far from Lazy writing. It touched us all so much, a terrifying idea of what could happen in the next election, and brought up history from 2016/2020. It was a great episode, perhaps the best one I've seen on Succession (Logan's death was the best acting). [/quote] Agree, and I also appreciate how much this episode refused to soften any of the characters or make any of them sympathetic. There was a moment when I felt bad for Shiv (when she tells Tom about the pregnancy and then he asks if she's just using this as a tactic) but I didn't find her very sympathetic. But even in that moment, I can recall a million times when Shiv was very cruel and terrible to Tom and I kind of get where he is coming from. It reminds me of Veep, which could also be a hard watch even when it was very funny, because it's incredibly cynical about the people it portrays. But that cynicism allows them to be honest in a way a lot of scripted series are not. It's brutal but, I think, revealing. This episode was miserable to watch but will also stay with me a long time in a positive way, in terms of shaping how I think about media and politics and who has my best interests at heart (hint: none of the people in charge).[/quote]
