Good to hear. I find the sex scenes deeply uncomfortable and gross. 

Keith sold himself as a genius and I can buy why that attracted people. 

The focus on the industry, Jocelyn’s team, and making the music video, was excellent this episode. Depp gave an emotional and layered performance. This would be a great show to watch!

I was obsessed with Kings. I was so sad when it got cancelled.

Severance is fucking phenomenal.

A pilot episode should serve as the thesis statement for the entire show. The thesis for The Idol is something about fame, sex, exploitation, and the cult of celebrity? What is the message we are supposed to take away? What is the perspective of this show on the actual events? Are we supposed to be disgusted or…

I think he means Basic Instinct. 

I looks so god damn oily in this show. I felt physically repulsed by him. 

This is so terrible and my heart goes out to her. 52 is young. 

We have different legal standards for murder v. manslaughter for instance. Intent matters. 

Oh then I stand corrected. I am glad that change was legally made. 

Yes, they are. France has no age of consent. A few years ago there were rumblings about setting the age to 15 but even that was rejected. 

Or Miller will get the mental health and possible medication needed to stop these bizarre episodes. 

You sound unhinged. 

Racist take on this is 100%. Just admit you don’t want POC to have anything approaching equitable representation in children’s media. 

The use of “umm” and filler words by the characters of Succession juxtaposed with the modern Shakespeare like vocabulary and references is one of the most brilliant things about the writing. 

That was my take on the kids biology based on Roman’s comments and how Kendall reacted. We knew the daughter was adopted but apparently the son was a sperm donation? The “pair of randos” comment by Roman was the most cruel and Loganesque thing said all episode. 

Excellent take on Shiv. I do differ with you on your assessment of Roman’s mental state with regard to Gerri. Roman is avoiding Gerri because of emotional loss. Gerri was weirdly significant for Roman and the loss of their relationship right after his father’s death, and during this corporate chess game, has been…

Kendall is not competent! He was in the room because of his name. That is it. He is not a serious person. Mattson wins because he is an actual predator like Logan. Tom ends up CEO because he is the best puppet.

No fucking way is Greg thinking he should have taken his grandfather Ewan’s offer. Greg is going to exist as a cog in the Waystar machine for at least as long as Tom remains puppet CEO. He might even be able to parlay his way longer term given his weird night out with Mattson. Greg is a cockroach. He will live on!
