Rodders Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) It took me 5 episodes to get into Succession then just blasted through Season 1 after that. Watching raging sociopaths and narcissists with various levels of megalomania be dicks to one another with no-one to obviously 'root' for is tricky. But I think it's worth it. Finished the last couple of episodes last night. Good grief. Edited December 15, 2021 by Rodders Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 I'm just going to come out and say it .. Season 3 of What we do in the shadows absolutely sucks it has a few decent moments , but Season 1 and 2 put it up there as one of best comedy shows ever written , Season 3 is eroding that legacy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some genuinely brilliant bits but on the whole not a patch on the first 2. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First ep was OK and then we watched ep 2 and I said to the missus "Is it me or has this gone properly downhill?" - watched the rest and it didn't recover. Such a shame.

Seat68 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Yes, without a blinkered mind season 3 of what we do in the shadows does seem weak overall. I went straight on to a rewatch of Toast of London straight after so Matt Berry has undone the WWDITS season 3 damage. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It peaked and could understandably never surpass the episode ‘Colin’s Promotion’ - one of the funniest episodes ever. As for Matt Berry I see Toast Of London returns early 2022!!! Cannot wait! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Landscapers on Sky Atlantic was pretty phenomenal! only 4 parts and well worth checking out. Olivia Coleman and David Thewlis were terrific! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted December 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2021 After binging all 3 seasons of succession I started Billions a few days ago. Really enjoying it so far - and set in NYC and so a lot of nostalgia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fightoffyour Posted December 16, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted December 16, 2021 There was a Stefan Strauss character in one scene midway through season 2 of Succession. Same name as the guy who comes to close down the branch of JLB in Peep Show. I suppose it could feasibly be the same person in the fictional business world, though played by different actors.

Sam-AVFC Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 By the way @ferguson1 I hadn't realised a 2nd series just came out, so can't comment on that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers mate, it’s seeing that second series listed for TV this weekend that got me interested. Think I’ll find the first series then and give it a go.
