I don't know, I thought this season was one of the best shows I've watched over the last year. But I was pretty into by midway.
It isn’t even really the business machinations and high drama that keep me engaged in Succession. It’s the absurd comedy.
Like when Logan has Greg to his castle for a high pressure one-on-one, and Greg says he’ll have a rye and coke. So Logan has a servant bring Greg a can of coke to pour into his $500 a bottle whiskey. And when Logan ends the meeting, Greg asks “should I chug this? Yeah, I’ll chug it.” And he does. That’s why I watch.

They're American who I have come to realize don't order rye and coke by that name. They will order gin and tonic, scotch and seven, rum and coke. But when it comes to whisky seems like most well drinks are ordered by brand. say a crown and coke. Anyway in this case it was a rum and coke, not whisky.
But digression aside, I couldn't agree more about the absurd comedy. I do enjoy the backroom dealings and characters as well.
Episodes 5, 6, 7 (shareholder meeting, republican conference, Kendall bday) are 3 tour de force lessons in a row on ratcheting up tension and comedy simultaneously. On par with boar on the floor and vote of no confidence eps.

If you order a rye and coke in the US you'll get bourbon and coke. Found that out the hard way as I'm not a fan of bourbon.
The Last Kingdom season 5 is out on Netflix. I just popped into the app to watch the new Ryan Reynolds movie, and what an awesome surprise to see one of my all time favorite shows has new episodes!
If you liked Game of Thrones, then you should LOVE The Last Kingom.

Wait, are you saying that mentioning Blackbeard was a spoiler? The character in all the promos and primary poster for the show?
Spoiler!
Fine, not looking at any of those materials in advance was my fault I guess. But they still played off the actor reveal as a bit of an end of episode cliffhanger, so I didn’t get as much out of it as I could have.
