Yeah lol it premiere in 2 months and we have seen basically nothing from it. They were promoting Rings of Power or even stuff like Jack Reacher or The Boys more and earlier than this show.

Succession - The characters are all annoying, don’t think the dialogue is all that funny/witty/insightful, and am bored half the time because it’s so sadistically self-indulgent.

I enjoy when it takes itself more seriously as a drama and some of the analysis is interesting. It has gotten more engaging over time, so I’ll finish it, but I’m just not seeing the same show all the critics and fans are seeing.

Easily one of my favorite shows ever. No other TV show has come close to capturing the sense of intrigue and mystery during those first 4 seasons.

It also alphas, in my opinion, the best ensemble cast to ever hit TV. Just outstanding character development.

It’s not even the waiting week to week that was frustrating with lost. It was the fact that they kept fucking with the release schedule. It’s really hard to follow a show when they release three episodes then takes six weeks off release two more and then take another 13 weeks off. It was legitimately hard to keep up in a time where DVRs were available, but not adopted by the masses yet. Plus they would market recap episodes as being brand new. It’s a miracle it’s stayed as popular as it was.
