Can't help but squirm now when I see Greg being all creepy. Used to love his bumbling shtick but recent events have soured things somewhat.

I can't believe this is all still just 2 days after Logan's death. Matsson is such a little tit for pulling that one (a beautiful, hunk of Swedish tit, but a tit nevertheless). Still hope he screws the siblings over, of course 😄
 
I think that might have been my all-time favourite episode of Succession ever! Ever single line was beautifully crafted, it was impossible to tell who was playing who, and every single person thought they’d outsmarted everyone else.

Immaculate 🥰

(Though I’d have loved it if Mattson had fittingly served up a bucket of crabs as part of the buffet 😆)
 
Thank you to the posters who recommended the Murdoch documentary. I've just finished watching it ... what an interesting and complicated network that all is.

Despite not wishing to continue watching Succession (because I didn't enjoy it), I do recognise a lot of parallels between the show and their alleged inspiration.

I find James quite interesting ... he's very black sheep-ish and doesn't come across as terribly bright.

Elisabeth looks all shiny and proper on the outside, but her most well-known daughter couldn't be more different:

I have to wonder whether Sarah, Lachlan's wife, ever feels trapped. For a while (early 2000s), she had a couple of TV hosting gigs, one of which was co-anchor on a morning news show for a temporary slot. She was excellent at it - a real natural and very well liked by everyone, despite landing a plum role with no experience or training, but chose to leave - I think, because her husband didn't want her working. It was temporary, but she was responsible for increased ratings and everyone loved her so much that I'm sure they would've moved the earth to keep her on. She also hosted Australia's Next Top Model for a while but chose to leave that gig.

I have always found Wendi (Deng) to be a cold fish ... the stuff about what she wrote in her diary re. Tony Blair was stomach-churning.

I keep forgetting he's involved but that scene had Will Ferrell written all over it! 😂

I don’t think he is involved that much, it’s his ex best friend’s production company (and they have pretty severe beef now according to the press) and I think Will was involved in the company at the time the show begun
