I would say the two are quite different. For whatever reason, I lost interest in Billions after Season 1; however, that was not the case with Succession. I just find the Succession to be more engaging, and thus more entertaining.

Yes! Half-way through Season 2 and am really looking forward to what’s in store in anticipation of leading up to Season 3.

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.
I don't think Logan or Kendall are rocking Breguet in season 2. Ken is def wearing a Vacheron Traditionelle, perhaps a perpetual calendar... Logan I think is wearing a patrimony w/ subdial second.

Interesting episode, it was a bit slow. Question I have is’ was Logan honest with Shiv when he said he wasn’t sure about Rhea?

Similar pattern to Season 1, when the family went to a retreat a Connor’s New Mexico ranch (Season 2, sojourn to Scotland) before things geared up for the final two episodes.

i think he was. But Shiv is putting Rhea in a worst possible situation, she set her up as what coming down the pipeline is going to really rattle the company. Shiv knew and Logan and Rhea did not. This is going to get interesting.

With most sociopaths they just play people off each other because he has no plan to quit.

If he drops dead he probably doesn't care one way or the other who is CEO or if the company fails.

I'm not sure they even care about legacy. If it fails after he's dead then it just proves he was the great one and doesn't allow his kids to shine.

Sociopaths just don't care about other people.

Yep. Shiv wanted to take over as CEO, but not heading into the storm they are facing.

Well, for those who watched the season 2 finale, what did we think?

For me, I thought it was brilliant. Even better than season 1, and can’t wait for season 3.

Same here...when Logan had the list of who was going to take the bullet he said there needs to be some blood with this...did Marsha leave Logan? Tom has had enough of Shiv...the open marriage stuff and then thinking he should take bullet...

Yes, Marsha did leave Logan; a separation I would presume?

Looks like they left the Marsha piece open. Of all the kids Kendal is the only one that has audacity. I wonder if Logan down deep acknowledges that. Particularly after the “you have to be a killer” statement he made and then Kendal turns. Had Kendal not gone on a coke bender in season one, he would be running the company.

Back to what's important here:

Logan is wearing a rose gold Calatrava with a minimal subdial

Kendall wears a Vacheron, yet identified

Roman: we all know wears a president in white gold

Shiv: Cartier francaise in white

Tom: Cartier bleu

What else am I missing?

Yep - the last episode was a work of art in all respects. The way they built the whole thing up, the yacht, the trip...all amazing. I've loved that Logan told Kendall that he was not a killer. And perhaps only that phrase was enough to make him flip at the press conference. Can't wait for season 3!!

That last episode was very “Shakespearean” in how it played out.
