A biopic really shouldn’t be an homage.

I’ve always felt Veep is the closest show to Succession, in spirit. They’re both dark comedies about vain, powerful people being awful to each other and screwing around with the world to suit their whims.

Oh, I think it’s true that Logan’s doctors are recommending a healthier diet for him. But I also think both he and Kendall were trying to use all of the food business to needle each other. “I brought my own food” “No, we called ahead and got the info from your doctor” “That one’s his” “Come here and try this kid”

Oh yeah, that’s definitely something Shiv learned from her dad.

It’s funny that you think anyone has ever invented an entire song whole-cloth.

So to you, “accurate” is always the “right” choice for a creative work? Not sure I would agree.

They are in the middle of a major sexual harassment (and worse) scandal already. They’ve mostly weathered it because there’s no documentation that will stick to the people at the top. The last thing they need is a story about the COO, an actual Roy, harassing the company’s chief counsel.

He was willing to poison his own grandson just as a test.

Yeah, I read Kendall’s direction to the waiter “Oh, that one’s for him” to be his attempt at a sick little joke to get inside Logan’s head.

Sorry, but Tom would ruin the gossip. He’s too deep in with the Roys and Waystar.

I think part of it is also that Logan is always looking for reasons to knock his kids back, keep them in line. Roman just handed him a really good reason.

Death of Stalin did a similar thing, where no one was doing a Russian accent, but some actors were using their own English accent, and others were adopting different English accents. It was all done in a very intentional way to clue an English-speaking audience into some of the background history, hierarchies, and…

The question is, what is “right?”

I don’t think Geri is going to be a loser in all this. Unlike the Roy kids, Geri is there because she is very good at this. The dick-pic is embarrassing for her, but as Roman points out, they can’t really fire her for being sexually harassed by the COO/bosses son. In a way this makes her untouchable, and Geri is smart…

Line of the night for me was Caroline saying “I have to run around and tell everyone to be very discreet!” When Logan showed up with his wife and mistress in tow.

It also sounds like expensive lawyers are telling him how to handle this now to minimize the fallout.

Yeah, I don’t want to make excuses for the armorer, but when you hire a 24 year old for arguably the most important life-safety position on set, and pay her less than $8,000 to do it, all the while paying yourself and your producing partners six-figure fees plus profit-sharing, that’s a pretty clear statement of…

eventually peaked at No. 21 on the regular Billboard Hot 100 in 2013

As a gay man (and also just a person), I am happy to see some of the drivers speaking up on these human rights issues.

“Late” does indeed refer to someone who has died recently (or had died recently in relation to another event being discussed). There’s no specific time limit, but it’s not used for people who have been dead for many years.
