Succession: Season 2 on HBO

Season 1 was brilliant, and have high expectations for Season 2.

Who else is watching?

I've seen last season and will watch the new season once there are more shows so I can binge watch.

The fascinating thing about shows like this and MANY others is we tend to cheer for certain characters when in fact they're all basically scum.

Look at the Godfather and how we liked many of the characters when in fact they were all terrible people and murderous thugs.

We must all have a built in Stockholm Syndrome.

Loved season 1. We watched the season 2 premiere on Sunday night and thought it's off to a strong start. Looking forward to the rest of this season!

Tom and Greg's relationship and scenes together are probably my favorite part of the whole show. The Thanksgiving episode last season where Tom is on speaker talking to Greg in the car with his grandfather always cracks me up.

Yes! They are both weasels trying to insinuate their way into the family empire, but the dynamic between them both only further adds to the dysfunction.

Good episode, picks up ~ 1or 2 weeks after the end of Season 1.

Loved this quote: "In the meantime, Kendall & I will be back later; we need to stuff some f'n raccoons up some guys chimney".

Great show, just watched the first one of the season 2. Looks like it's going to get real dirty.

Great show. They're all despicable characters. Cant say I like any of them. Although Kendall is the only one that has (or had) the audacity to male a move. At least he tried.

Sure does. Very interested to see the plot line between Gil and Shiv play out...

Thanks to this thread I finished season 1 last night. Episode 9+10. I had forgot we were watching it so this thread was a nice reminder. We will hold out until the season is over and binge watch it.

Great show!

Great show!
Episodes 9+10 (the wedding) are my favorites of Season 1! Introducing the kids mother - with the combination of her acerbic wit and veiled insults, made it that much more entertaining.

Season Two Timepiece Check:

Roman generally wears a Rolex Datejust 126300 Silver Face, Smooth Bezel with Oyster Bracelet

In the latest episode, Kendal is wearing a Rolex Exporler 214270 Mk2.

Logan has been a tough one to pick out, but I think it's either a Breguet Classique 5207BB or perhaps a De Bethune DB25.

Shiv is usually rocking a Cartier of some type.

Season 1 Disc 3 was Netflix'd last week. Have yet to begin ... Interesting how when I get busy by a few weeks or few years, I discover a series everybody was loving way-back-when. In '06, with broken ankle, I discovered 24.

Billions Season 4 is releasing next week.

Breaking Bad. Mad Men. Hell on Wheels. Wallander. Loads of BBC mini-series.

Yes, you guessed it. I pulled the plug on cable and never got around to figuring out how to stream content. Up at 3am for a 6:15am meeting, plenty of free DVD content from the local libraries, plus Netflix to fill in the gaps.

If only I could find Seasons 1-6 of Rockford Files in their entirety.

I thought I saw a Breguet of some sort on Kendall in season 1. Haven't seen season 2 yet.

Is it better than BILLIONS?


(Someone who watched both shows can only answer, I guess. )

I’ve been in a family business, and this show is practically a documentary.

I've watched 3 seasons of Billions, and am just about caught up on Succession. I enjoy both shows immensely. The whole game of shifting alliances and personal gain above all else in both shows is really fun.
