I’ve decided that the best way for me to view “Succession” is to first watch it one time in the living room, on our big tv, trying to keep up with the banter, piecing together the plot line, and often confused about the references (What does it mean when Kendall calls Pierce TV programming “Dookie?” When Logan refers to the workers at ATN as as “Stakhanovites”? What does Kendall mean when he says for their Pierce primetime programming they should go “full
Great reviews of both shows. I agree that Roman is turning out to be the family member with the most heart---toward Conner, his dad, all of them. There is a sweetness about him sometimes that you don't see in the others. My empathy for the kids has shifted over the series development from Shiv to Kendall and now toward Roman. But I can't figure out why Shiv is behind trying to get more money from the Swede when she knows that he said he'd drop out if they did. (Or was it Roman he told that to? I'm getting confused now.) Anyway, as much as I "hate" this show on so many levels, I keep returning to see how it turns out. I'm almost certain not well for any of them. As for Perry, I sing "thank you" in my heart that this show follows Succession. A kind of cleansing takes place before I sleep. There are good people in the world who will save it in the end from the likes of Logan, etc.
I’ve shifted around from season to season too! As to the reason why Shiv is doing it, it’s solely to “piss off” her father (her words.) Same with Kendall. It’s the reason why Logan is right when he says they aren’t serious people. They don’t care about the money at all, that’s just an excuse. They want to get even with their father by messing up the deal. If you want, I can explain how we know that. I always watch the shows I write about several times, and after the second time it became clear.

I don't watch "Succession", but my wife does, and loves it. I don't watch a lot of TV, but I do watch "Perry Mason", and am totally absorbed in it.
