Gotcha.
I’m not saying I dislike either. And both are very high on my lists.
Billions just a little better

The easiest way to tell the difference between Succession and Billions is to watch the two scenes where characters are served ortolan.

I guess to each his own but I don’t see how you could think that. Billions is so over the top and insufferable with its constant name dropping and forced cameos.

Succession is amazingly funny, gross, subtle and pounding you in the face all at once.

How can you not like Logan??? He tells everyone to frick off and is playing each of his kids like spoiled little fiddles.

He's fricking her over. Getting her to leave advising the politician that is against him, burn her bridges, which she has...and now he will keep her occupied for a year and have a plan B. He's putting Kendall in charge bc he can be the most controlled.

I also think that despite everything, he didn't want to have to use the blackmail he has on her. Getting her in the company and away from politics absolves him of that.

I do want to see one of those kids go after Marsha for being such a busy-body shrew.

I don't know. I think Billions is just so over the top at times. I thoroughly enjoy it whenever I watch, but I've liked the (semi)grounded approach of Succession a great deal more


Agreed. Billions tries way too hard. It wants to be what Succession so easily is.

I love this show. I don’t think I really got into it until halfway through the first season, so I didn’t pay much attention to the earlier episodes. Hyped for a season 1 rewatch.

This and Boar on the floor were my favorite scene of the episode. The look of fear in Roman's face made me so happy.
"Roman, you're a fricking moron"
