Just in time for Thanksgiving.

Smart.

I would not call Succession a “comedy”.

Maybe “comedic drama”.

Yeah apparently all of the “Genetic Dynasty” stuff isn’t in the books. Which is weird because it was like the only redeeming part of the show imo. And probably because Lee Pace kills it.

What even is “from the start”? Aren’t there entire old seasons that are literally lost? Where would you recommend someone actually start?

Not to be a cliche, but the show does get better. It’s a slow burn, as others have said.

It’s 8 seasons, so quitting after a couple of episodes would be like leaving a movie after 5 minutes. You gotta let it cook a bit.

You gotta just give up the idea that you need to “root for” anyone when you watch something

Try the novel, it’s fantastic

Same with Parks and Rec. Season 1 is rough imo

Seinfeld had much better writing than Friends

Friends has always been so bad.

Getting to the point where I don’t hear the laugh track anymore is a major feat, and a show has to be very funny for me to want to try to get to that point.

Frasier or IT Crowd, for example, are a couple that come to mind.

Fervent organisational/inherited loyalty doesn’t make sense to me ,so anything based upon that ruins my immersion.

Movies are just stories, you don’t have to ideologically agree with the existence of familial organized crime in order to enjoy a story about it.

And we’re not even talking about scifi here. The Godfather is almost historical fiction. It’s based on things that exist(ed) in real life, there’s no need to suspend disbelief.

Not trying to be argumentative, I just cannot understand this viewpoint. How can you be “immersed” in literally any story about anything if you think like this?

It’s literally the reason I’m here, after 15+ years on reddit. And haven’t looked back.

Oh? Then who is choosing to be what?

He runs a girl’s water polo team so maybe he had direct experience with the outage.

This was not a joke, I’m dead serious.

Her qualification is her undying support is Israel

No I have empathy for the people who’s lives are going to be fucked when this bubble pops.

Decidedly not the billionaires. They will, again, be just fine.

In fact, it’ll be a fire sale for them and many of them will get more wealthy.

As long as it doesn’t look like a butthole

I probably can because I’m most likely not in danger of losing my job and apartment. This time.

That can’t be said for everyone, and I guess I’ve got enough empathy to give a shit about that

It’s pretty much been confirmed that Netanyahu let it happen.

Then there’s this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_Directive
