This is exactly the recap I was looking for.

Excellent job on the recap. Perfect balance of brevity and detail I was looking for

This show is utterly fantastic! It's crazy how all there characters grew up in money, or in Logan's case, been with money for a very long time, and yet they are all extremely flawed and fragile.
The scene with Kendall at the end of season 1 fully gripped by his drug addiction at that point, where hes driving a random waiters car just to score some coke, really was dark and showed the limits a addict will go to to get high. Don't wanna give to much away but I totally felt Kendalls bottom.

It definitely took me a few episodes to get into it. I'm not used to watching shows like this where stuff doesn't really happen. It's a slow show but it is good

[amyrocksss]

thank you! beautiful editing, to the point, loved it!

The episode where the therapist jumps head first into a shallow pool and loses his teeth had me in stitches. Haven't laughed that hard in a while.

Awesome show. Writing is amazing. Except every character is an asshole and no one is redeeming or likeable but it sure is entertaining.

Thanks! Watching S02, finally, today!

The writing in this series f'n extraordinary - on par with Breaking Bad - gut wrenching, funny and clever one liners all at the same time.

Thanks. Been trying to get past the first few episodes, but I can’t stay focused

This show seems a lot like Dynasty and Falcon Crest from back in the 80's.

Who is Shiv's husband exactly? Was he rich before? btw the guy is hilarious.

[michaelkluver]

Just started Season 2. Such a messed up show and family. LOL!

[rlee]

This is the best show on HBO right now

[adamsamuel]

It's a good series with the lines for Roman and Shiv along with Logan. This show "Succession" would probably be in my top 20. I know its straight forward meaning Kendall could have paid someone to kill Logan and the series would have been over within 4 episodes but they chose to write a long story about an old man vs his young well thinking grown up children. The show is good but Not better than other shows like Sneaky Pete, White Collar, Suits, The Sopranos, The Wire, Person of Interest, Burn Notice, Game of thrones, Ozark, The Blacklist, Big little Lies, Billions, Graceland, Law & order svu.

Why did Shiv marry Tom? What does she expect to gain?

[tooterooterville]

The writing in this series f'n extraordinary - on par with Breaking Bad.

No one needs the narration. Just show the clips that are important. I can find anyone that doesn’t do this narration 😣

[devangpatel]

I am confuse. is this show supposed to be funny or serious? I watched the first episode and there is nothing I liked at all. I really don't want to watch the first season after watching this recap because it sounds like a rich dad is going against his non worthy children's for no reason at all.

[toreckman]

Funny. I didn’t know George Soros was a conservative. 😘.

Tom is the only reason I watch. “The bottom of the top”. Classic.
