    That's the first positive review I've seen of it. Relative to expectations and hopes, at least.

    Education is extremely important.

      I finally finished all 40 hours of Succession. Kept me entertained. Excellent acting, mature storytelling. Never dragged. The only low point for me was when the show took itself way too seriously during its most absurd plot point, where the election call of a single network before all the votes were in, was presented as a definitive act that caused that person to become president. I don't think that's how it works, but the show was deadly serious and somber about it.

      The finale was excellent, and all the twists and turns felt about right.

        Yeah agreed. Great writing, acting, and music!

          I've been told to watch Succession due to the apparent close similarity of the head honcho to our former CEO. Maybe I'll give it a go.

          I tend to find things quite uncomfortable when they resemble reality. My former boss so closely resembled Bill Lumbergh from Office Space that it literally took me four attempts to complete the movie.

          I was only joking

            Pluribus. On Apple TV. Sci fi end of world thing with.

            For a maybe too many times used theme, it’s actually quite good.

            I’m fucking hooked.

              I've only watched the first episode, but it was brilliant, and very fresh take on post-apocalyptic SCIFI.

                I watched the long movie, One Battle After Another… it was enjoyably refreshing and original compared to most of what’s out there today. Leo is always fun to watch a movie and had a great time in this one, the first 20 minutes seems like it’s gonna head down a woke path, but really most of it is a chase/chaotic scene with almost “The Firm” piano style soundtrack. Anyway not sure I’ll rewatch it anytime soon but I thought it was fun and the plot wraps things up decently.

                  I've watched about the first half hour, up t the point where it's a few years later. I need to get back, as it was interesting and Sean Penn is a slimy delight.

                    A Spy Among Friends, docu-drama about Kim Philby's defection. Quite well done. I love spy stuff.
