Succession’s episode on Sunday was unreal. Probably the best performances from the main cast, especially from Snook she just broke my heart.
I am also just totally checked out from all the Disney+ shows. I never got past Andor’s first episode. I haven’t even started Mando’s 3rd season and I don’t intend to. And I’m not really looking forward to Secret Invasion either.
I am looking forward to Maisel, I wasn’t super into these last few seasons but I might as well go all the way with it. With this and Succession ending it’s like an end of the late 2010s era. It’s making me reflect on the passage of time. Anyways, I’m sure it’ll at least be fine.
Agreed. Phenomenal performances (SPOILERS). For me the standout was Kieran Culkin. Roman having to begrudgingly agree to telling Gerri she was being let go, and then being thrown into disbelief at the news of his father. Gerri's reaction to Roman bursting into the room in the midst of his shock and grief was so perfectly detached - could be a hint of things to come perhaps if Gerri takes revenge.
All of them really shone in that episode. Jeremy Strong stood out most for me, that was a hard position to play to both be hurt and feeling those feelings, but also immediately snapping into being a cold-blooded businessman and showing both sides of his inner turmoil on his face. I saw Kendall and thought "Yeah he is really the most Logan of the kids." Really brilliantly executed.
They way the episode just kept the audience in this awkward and frustrating space and just wouldn't let go was immensely intense and draining. I think it was the best episode I've seen so far and it really made an impact on me. Amazing performances all around.

ok, I never watch reality shows like this, but The Traitors (UK) is awesome and awful... it was originally Dutch, but Australia, US, and the UK have versions.
The mix of people for the UK one is great. 12 episodes, just under an hour each... now that I've started, I can't stop.
