Honestly by the end of the last season I just had to power through it. It got kind of old watching a bunch of people be narcissistic assholes after the first couple of seasons. I'm watching right now but can somebody just briefly summarize where we're at leading to the premier?

I remember now why I got frustrated with this show. The most luxurious setting ever, billions of dollars, and everybody is a goddamn stuttering pussy. I'm sitting here begging somebody to quit "oh my gosh I don't know what do you think guys" and tear into somebody. One character after another whose dialogue is "wait I'm not sure". frick somebody tell Logan he looks like a golf ball and we're about to frick you up


Go Greg btw

“looks like she caught a foul ball at Yankees stadium”

Tom is the fricking best

Ken is a natural- just needed the opportunity out of his dad's shadow. Shiv is going to frick everyone though

Just started binge watching yesterday.. amazing show.. still on 1st season

I always passed on this show because for some reason I thought the family firm was a lawyer company they owned instead of a media company so I always passed on it. So glad I started watching. Fun show!!

Really surprised at some of the criticism in this thread. I’m sure it’s a bit of a blimp before the inevitable crash, but this was absolutely a win for the ceo bros.

Was Kendall’s pitch super cringe to begin? Of course. Was the edit of his dad probably something that’ll come back to bite him in the arse? Obviously

But was repositioning a traditional company as a tech company to jackup valuations a successful play? 5-10 years ago when money was cheap and everything was growth growth growth? Absolutely, it was the easiest way to get earnings multiples inflated. It’s basically what WeWork did. He even rose above the Manson tweet which was obviously an attempt to provoke him. Everyone said it in the room afterwards, he nailed it

And Roman, was he a bit impulsive? Sure. Did he go in with a mapped-out plan? No, but at the end of the day he canned someone who it seems like was hemorrhaging money money and making shite movies while disrespecting him. Him canning her was an absolute no-brainer, and I thought if he’d done anything else it would’ve been a joke

Is he asking for respect his dad earned? Sure, but that’s the way it works folks. Regardless of how someone gets to the top, those types of folks demand respect. I’ve been fortunate to be around a couple of them, and the only thing less attractive to them than incompetence is disrespect. The handful of extremely high-level folks I know who run companies would’ve executed anyone who spoke to them like that

The Gerry firing was a bit of an overreach but still possibly defensible. I thought his comment about even if you don’t believe in me I need you to act like you do or something like that was really insightful in an odd way

They’ll surely crash in the end, but the bros somehow nailed it this episode

Told myself I'd never post during the show but I just have to say I love how their handling politics and the election. No propaganda, no woke whatever, just sort of vague references to show the different affiliations of the characters. The least political show right now is the show actually doing a politics and election show tonight
