[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This season demonstrates why Seinfeld was so smart to leave while on top. This show stuck around too long. If you’re still obsessively watching it’s not because it’s good anymore. You just want it to conclude.[/quote]

Seinfeld ran for 9 seasons and was self-described as a show "about nothing."

This is Succession's fourth and final season, and it is a show about the succession of a family business empire, thus the title. It would be weird for the show to end BEFORE the thing described in the title of the show happens, and four seasons is really not a long time for a show to run. Even the Wire ran 5 seasons. The West Wing ran 7 seasons. Breaking Bad -- 5 seasons. Mad Men -- 7 seasons.

Four is actually a very short run for a "prestige" television program. If you don't like it, fine, but I'm enjoying this season and it really feels like the show runners are executing a plan, not dragging something out. [/quote]

This “plan” is forced and clunky. And either the writing sucks or all of the actors couldn’t care less. This season feels super amateur compared to earlier seasons. And every episode is like groundhogs day. Black cars, helicopters, airplanes, assistants, board room, fake drama. Zzzzzzzzzz. The show hasn’t grown.  A.I. could write these scripts. [/quote]
