Succession, episode 6. How low will they go?
The real thing that boggles my mind when I'm watching Succession is that if this whole family stopped working at any point in this timeframe : they'd still have more money than they'll ever be able to spend. Like, what does it matter? What's the point of more when you already have all?
If you ever have to insist that you're not a beast, you've already lost.
So like, how do these people do a business? Do they just have side conversations all day and then go to bed angry?
And what's the line between side conversations and actually doing business?
At what point will they all get in the same room and talk about all the stuff they've been businessing about separately?
One thing this show does very well is constantly shuffling the order in which I want to see characters get their comeuppance. Tom lurching into second place!
Yes. It's like the storming of the Bastille. Just like it, sir.
FUCK I HATE THESE PEOPLE.
Farmer Hoggett is really leaning into that Radagast Realness.
And now the insufficient comeuppance! Showing all the tricks this week.
NO AUDIBLE DIALOGUE. Kendall, you've found your medium.
