Succession (2018)

S03 E09 · All the Bells Say
A good and satisfying finale, ties up the season with a setup which doesn’t provide it with a momentum and it carries it off nicely: 2x10 clears though. I’ve little else to say really, the tender moments could’ve been more poignant but it was suitably cathartic to see the 3 siblings all joined and f

S03 E07 · Too Much Birthday
I’m really into where Kendall’s character is now, the vulnerability so increasingly on display is deeply endearing in a way that only works because it’s so permanently on display how awful he is. There are admittedly concerns I may or may not have about the composition of such a character… to humani

I love love the direction Kendall’s been taken for the last while, infinitely more believable and compelling than what they were doing with him at the start

Heinz has no chlorophyll! Heinz has no chlorophyll! Damn man, it’s gotten into a proper groove now, I had my grievances with the earlier stuff of the season but this is good shit

What the fuck this one was super fucking funny lmao, PnF still got it

I think the main thing that makes this stuff weak isn’t that it’s anime original but that it mostly isn’t. Ishida’s storytelling is patient and broadly spread among characters (though mainly in Re) as well as admittedly being at times fairly lowkey and unambitious in the OG manga, so when you adapt

“So if you’re here you must be fine” Not sure how I feel about the way autism is treated by Nathan (at the very least the character version) here, even if I know the reason it’s as it is is that a diagnosis would literally stop him from flying; it feels like it’s framed as an ‘in unhealthy denial a

Aw man this is just the best thing ever. Hand-flapping the whole damn time in sympathy and relation, Nathan Fielder the autist you are 🙏

They’re so sweet

Bloody hell mate. I don’t even know what to say, no one is making art like this. Genuinely completely unique and it’s properly fascinating

“He’s a pretty weird dude, huh?”

Peak. That ending though, one totalitarian religious loon swapped for another… kind of a microcosm when you think about it

Fuckkk man this show is so genius, idk how he keeps thinking of taking it to these places, what an episode

So great actually, I’m judging these people so hard, they’re so weird. I really like the bits of ‘characterisation’ Nathan puts for himself towards the end of each episode, really sells it all well, a cool kind of self-admittedly artificial angst

What is your problem man Also leave that lady alone, she seems neurodivergent and stressed and now she’s not just been lied to about that university thing but being secretly filmed to be judged by strangers as an extension of her friend’s insecure distrust. I empathise with the guy too even though

A mess, as expected; self-aware as expected; indifferent, as expected. Imagine if Natural History of Fear felt like Last of the Timelords - doesn’t make any sense, does it? Builds another commentary that holds no water but this time, as the culmination of S15’s themes, owns up to it. So then what’s

Interesting pilot. Contained a directive flare I didn’t expect, flashes of sweat and neon crimson basking scenes, drizzled in salsa and style, Scorsese voiceovers and repressed camera motion: mostly it kept to itself though. Worrying ambiguity surrounding its approach to serial killer ethics, perman

“Yavin. After all of this. What a bitter ending” It’s nice that it thinks what it does is genuinely conducive with how Star Wars is but it nonetheless speaks for itself that after all this effort all this dissolves first into Rogue One and then further into A New Hope. It says what it says, “It jus

“Most people look away, we can’t be like that” “We’ll be leaving now. We’ve made our choice” Press it. Maybe this time it’s real. It’s that or another firing squad. The real choice lies at the end of this, those choices are ours because we create them with what we do now. We can hold onto ourselves
