Recency bias imo

Season 4 has been off the scale good.

i dont mind slow burn, mad men is fantastic. i did like the rest of the succ i watched, except that episode kendall went to a fucking drug house to do meth.
put that on the dvd boxset
but yeah, agreed. S2 is the strongest season for me. Kendall is bearable, at least. Plus maximum Wambsgans.

Didn't even like (or hate) S1. Or I just embraced that I'm watching total idiots
By Perfect Blue Go To PostApparently there’s people who think Shiv from Succession isn’t attractive? Wow
The decision for her to show maximum cleavage for half the episode was interesting.
Sopranos, Succ and Rome my top 3 HBO (dramas, BoB still king) shows. Still got Deadwood to see, the Wire to finish. Boardwalk Empire just did not deserve so many seasons, was good until a pretty specific point tho.
By Perfect Blue Go To PostApparently there’s people who think Shiv from Succession isn’t attractive? WowWait
Is this a debate? She's ugly and got old lady hands
By Perfect Blue Go To PostApparently there’s people who think Shiv from Succession isn’t attractive? WowIn character yeah
IRL meh
Your dicks are arguing now. Subjective innit
By Hixx Go To PostThe decision for her to show maximum cleavage for half the episode was interesting.Deadwood is fucking INCREDIBLE

By domino Go To PostIn character yeah
IRL meh
This is it. Great fashion, thicc butt, mean attitude. Works for Shiv.
By reilo Go To PostSuccession: SHIV IS THE FUCKING WORST
Thought exactly the same thing. I cant think of any other word than cunt. I felt poor rage watching the boardroom scene.
What a show, easily in my top 5, need to let it marinade but probably knocks out Mr Robot out my top 3 (Sopranos, The Wire, Succession dunno the order).
GOAT theme music, GOAT acting, pacing almost perfect might be GOAT ending too.

By C4-621 Go To Postthank god for yurt
Shiv made the right call. But she did it in the worst possible way. She was immediately proved right too.
Kendall and Roman are a thousand times worse than Shiv. She is a cunt. But she is the least cunty of them by a distance.
Succession finale was amazing and the entire show was. This last season of Barry was ehh I couldn't get into it, especially with the time jump and separated story lines, I really can't stand Sally, didn't care much by the end of it. Just felt off or there was too big of a gap since I saw the last season
By Willkiller Go To PostShiv made the right call. But she did it in the worst possible way. She was immediately proved right too.
Expound
Why was it the right call
How was she immediately proven right? Cus of his reaction.
By Kidjr Go To PostExpound

She made about 15 billion by saying "yes". She's married to the US CEO and has (some kind of) relationship to Mattson, she has moves to make still. You can see her thinking about that in the car ride home. She knew she was never really going to have the power, but while she can still make her plays, I think she's as happy as she can be.
If she'd have said no, she'd have been frozen out. Ken had made it quite clear to Hugo and to others that he wanted to rule the world, yeah he might have said he'd have handed Roman/Shiv large positions, but he'd have stripped away their influence consciously. Ken was a fucking loose cannon, would Logan have ever reacted in the same way? I think he could have done an ok job, but as soon as there was some real trouble hed have probably imploded and blown the whole thing up. And what if the stuff about the kid ever came out publicly? What if Roman cracked and let it slip, or Colin, or anyone? The company would be done overnight and their billions would turn to mere (lol) millions.
Ken was simply too big of a risk. That the objective reason why she made the right call. That is of course not why she did it though, she just couldn't fucking stand to see him smugly 'winning'. If she was the first vote at that table, she'd have said "no". Circumstance giving her that power in that moment…she couldn't resist.
shiv got fucked by their brothers at every turn. there's good reason she didn't give it to kendall. he would've destroyed the company and freeze her out asap.
she wanted it herself but that was never an option so she chose her husband and the father of her kid keeping her name in the running. #shivdidnothingwrong

Ok I can agree with some of the object reasoning arguement ( don't think the murder makes for a good argument tbh) but like you said that's not why she did. Your absolutely right about going last too, think she potentially votes no if she goes first.
I assume Tom let Gregg off the hook because he respected the attempt at a move?

If I was weighing up the pros and cons of risking billons and billons, voting in a CEO who was involved in a kid death cover-up would certainly enter my mind as a 'con'.
Yeah Tom respected Greg, he is a piece of shit but he's a known entity. Mattson probably does hate him now which puts a hard ceiling on Greg's aspirations, destined to be Tom's 'Greg' forever. I think Tom also knew he was the one that really nearly blew it up, if he'd been a bit more honest with Greg and not dicked around with him telling him he might be fucked, he wouldn't have made the move. Greg was acting sensibly.
As an aside, fuck me the formatting for spoiler text on this site is so broken. Reilo pls
By Willkiller Go To PostKen was a fucking loose cannon, would Logan have ever reacted in the same way?.Not that I really disagree with the main point, but Logan was a nut.
The only difference between Kendall and Logan was that Logan won all the time. The few times we saw him lose, like with the Pierce deals, he completely lost his rag. He absolutely would have done the same shit Kendall did in the end, probably worse.
^ yep. Logan had a track record. Kendall never fucking won. Which makes Shiv’s decision right because he’s the biggest loser in the world.
Wish I’d watched it all live. Blitzed the entire show over the last two months. But man, living with this show and these characters for four or five years would have been great. Imagine that wait between S2 and S3, lord have mercy.
