Overall it’s a good, good show with some fun laughs and “holy sh**” moments.

I just finished watching Succession last night too. As gripping and hilarious as the show is, it does seem as though everything just resets every couple episodes. No matter what business shenanigans go on, there’s a new threat that materializes and then disappears like all the others. No matter how Logan treats his kids, they come back for his approval. No matter how incendiary the siblings are in destroying one another, they’re back in the next episode hanging out by a pool and making quips at one another. For all the high-stakes drama, the dynamic of the show resets to its default state over and over.
Still entertaining as ####, though.
Favourite line from second last episode of S3:
Willa: You ever meet the pope, Conn?
Conn [fiddling with his phone]: Ya-ahuh. I met one. A couple of popes back, with dad. He was a real, full-fat pope. Complete pope. Very religious.
Willa: I guess he really drank the kool-aid, huh?
