I’ve seen “NaN” in the stock price section of the Financial Times. It means somebody has overlooked a programming error and it made its way into publication, which just goes to emphasize that ATN was not prepared for this election

Saddest ending for me was Logan. The whole scene where he goes back to ATN and he is just in the way. The scene with the pizza lets the audience know whatever he had is gone because he wants to reheat old pizza and expect to get the same results and Greg tells him you lose quality when you do it that way. The point meaning a fresh approach needs to be taken with ATN because his ideas are outdated. He doesn’t get it. It’s nailed home when he gets on the cardboard boxes and tells everyone, “that it isn’t the end.” His voice sounded like he trying to convince himself and they all stare at him blankly. Even if he had lived, he would never again be Logan Roy after he sold the company. I feel that’s why they had him die off screen because you had just witness his real death. It was over for him.

Succession’s arguments are exhilarating as a well choreographed fight scene.

In regards to Bojack Horseman's "talk about the way you're supposed to feel" this has actually been tackled by the show itself - The writers felt it necessary because there was (and still is) a *very vocal* contingent of the show's fans that relate to and see themselves as Bojack himself which is both a testament to their ability to make a creepy washed up addict relatable... But also they realized that they had to be more blatant in painting Bojack as a flawed and antagonistic force on the story of the show. The characters in Bojack are toxic, broken people, and try to deal with that however they can, which makes them relatable to a wide array of people no matter how bad they are. It's why Season 5 is so impeccable to me - They wrote it as a response to finding out that Harvey Weinstein apparently "saw himself" as Bojack as a good thing. So they wrote the entire season as a way to critique themselves and what they had been doing this entire time. So yeah, just thought I'd put thay out there.

I think that was the problem though: i think the writers became so obsessed with the fans who "didn't get the show" they basically were making extremely didactic complaints to the audience.

It had tackled problematic characters & celebrity stand-ins before - Issue is that their show had now created a character that literal predators pointed to as a "they're like me" stand-in. I think it's both commendable and impressive that the writers sought to at least touch on this issue, and with it they also managed to smash out a bunch of banger episodes to boot. I can't really name another series that tried to do it, nor do it as successfully.
@yggdrasil2 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, I think that was somewhat necessary, because it was clearly the original intention of the creators to make BoJack's despicable nature oddly relatable. There's even dialogue in the first season about this very thing. The main arc is about him trying to portray himself as a lovable person but ironically everyone reacts positively to the raw depictions in his biography. I must honestly say that I prefer Todd's dressing-down of BoJack in season 3 to the show within a show in season 5. Mainly because the former was still rooted in the characters and their dynamics while we're mostly told about the problematic aspects of Philbert and not shown them.

The 'real eldest son', Connor, could also be described as such; possibly, even to the point of being delusional. Roman is simply grotesque, while I have a tad more sympathy for Shiv; though she's still awful, she's at a disadvantage to her brothers, simply because of her gender. Your character analyses were well-thought, and your observations on everything from score to visual and dialogue cues were spot-on. Nice review - thank you. :)

Absolute masterpiece of a show. Top 3 of all time for me now. So glad you made a video on it. Another show with a masterpiece of a finale, but The Shield’s is still my favorite. I LOLed at you calling Kendall the saddest man on TV after Phillip Jennings. Also thank you for explaining why safe room is such an amazing episode at 26:40, one of my favs and you didn’t even mention the other portions of the episode like with Connor’s eulogy. I think part of Succession’s brilliance is its exploration of language. Also holy crap I didn’t notice how the Old Guard parallels the kids, great catch. I was into Succession since the pilot and always thought it was great but you’re right In the start you don’t quite get the characters but on rewatch those first few eps are so much better. I’m surprised you found S2 to be weaker than S1 though, I mean S1 is already amazing but I thought S2 was a big step up into masterpiece tier already, almost every episode was firing on all cylinders. But for me every season got better, S4 has got to be one of the best seasons of TV ever, definitely the best season of TV in a LONG time. Fantastic video as always, excited to see your next one and catch up on some of the old ones I missed cause I haven’t watched the shows yet!

The Logan death was shocking but it was such a punt on many cool storylines

Greg was supposed to represent the viewer and that's why he was tied so closely to Tom. Greg was used as the outlet for the viewer to understand the eventual winners tactics

I’m not Greg, and Tom was no winner.

Slipmaker, please do The Leftovers retrospective if you have not already seen it please do its one of the greatest shows of all time and it is incredibly underrated.

I still think Armstrong's best show is Babylon, a comedy drama about the London Met police. It was a feature length pilot then 6 episodes. Hard to find, but if you like Succession, I almost think Babylon is ...better.

Really enjoying this retrospective. Just came down to comment that the theme was not technically composed by the series composer but by Beethoven. This is not to take away from the masterful orchestration and remixing that happened to get it to the full force it has in its many variations throughout the series! I admire well-done orchestration but still feel like credit should be given to the actual composer.
