You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Gregs.

I just didn't like any of the actors except for Brian Cox.

Jeremy Strong (Kendall Roy) is brilliant.

Yeah, the actors are great. The characters are horrible people.

think people that watch an episode or two and "don't like it", don't understand it. I don't mean that to be condescending. It IS an odd show in terms of what it is and how its represented.


I gave La Brea two episodes and that was far too long.

the pilot is the worst episode. every episode gets better in Season 1.


This is what I needed to hear. The characters are very hard to relate to in the first 2 episodes and yes outside of Cox pretty much suck.

Will keep trucking, sorry to offend the easily offended here

You aren’t going to relate to pretty much any of the characters. You aren’t supposed to.

Relate was probably wrong word. "Give a damn about" might have been better. I will assume by the defense of the show here, it is worth continuing.

Was a weak opening to the series, but some of the best shows do start that way.

I gave Mrs. Maisel a try a couple months ago, based off people here loving it and they were right. Was a great show and look forward to the next season.

People who love Succession are more touchy than normal re: people who don't love it

FWIW I never got into it either.

Agreed, none of those have the intellectual depth akin to Macauley Culkin's brother ejaculating on a window

I was hooked after the 1st episode. I thought the balance between drama and comedy is unmatched. Just finishing season 1 right now.

If the above is about The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel you are spot on

If you are talking about Succession, you have some low standards

Normally I hate that, but its very true with this show.

People go in expecting one thing and it is not that, and its sort of subtle in a way what they are doing.

Yes. The first couple episodes are probably the worst of the series. I would say if you don’t like it by episode 5 or 6 then it’s not for you
