re: 'Succession' HBO season 2 discussion thread

quote:

As for Jerri and Roman, I think Jerri is an entirely normal person who is smart and driven and as put up with weirdos, creeps, and sexists to rise up to becoming a powerful media exec. She is treating Roman like all of the other men who got in her way over the past three decades.

Jerri seemed genuinely weirded out then turned on by insulting Roman

It's the perfect quid pro quo for the two of them. Jerri finally gets to say the things she has to hold back in the office and Roman finally found a woman who stimulates him


I also loved the subtle way the director introduced the scene by showing Jerri kicked up and wearing nylons. The camera angle showing her laid back in an almost intimate posture.
