I like it a lot!

Succession 1 x 1-2 | Full-Length Reaction

Comments

Also I’m here for Greg, he’s the only character I’m rooting for. Some guy gets stoned before a job working in a giant furry suit, I’m guessing maybe hungover being thrown around by the kids, and gets fired. Good, probably deserves it if he can’t manage his first day. But also he’s now working really hard and being abused by everybody. Lmao he’s lounging in the house because look at that fucking house, and they told him to find stuff. And he does not want to go back to that hospital. And Shiv told him to take his time 😂 I would have been in a luxurious bath by now. And if he finds cash and takes it, well. They took the last $20 to his name without thought and they surely will not notice it. I hope.

Not me trying to figure out the age order of the kids and accidentally finding spoilers instead because the ages are muddy and I investigated 😭😭😭 It seems like Connor is from Logan’s first marriage, and his other three children are from his second. So Kendall is actually the second oldest son but the oldest from his second wife who he obviously had a longer or potentially better relationship with, and then the internet says they think Roman and then Siobhan/Shiv, but I’m like, if Shiv isn’t acting as an older sister to Roman?! Who feels so free to punch their *older* brother? She has huge older sister energy with him lmao surely Roman is youngest? Freest to kick off the labels people try to put on him based on his family? Idek but I also had to figure out who tf Tom was. There are so many characters and they are mostly white men in business attire and I can’t remember who is who 😂

38:37 i love how i can see it in your expressions just how invested you got, hehe. i'm on s2 and this show just knows how to grip you. even if the characters aren't meant to be likable, the way this show is executed somehow just works when it comes to how compelling it feels. i remember feeling the same way when i first started the show! i'm definitely gonna look forward to your reactions to this, so many good moments ahead. :)

skye

Is it going to be really good. Thanks Tatiana

Franklin

Omg, I’ve watched this series at least twice, but I’m totally watching it again with you — I love your analysis and perspective! Greetings from Argentina!

Tatiana

Ep1 Frank telling them: "Find your places" at the breakfast lunch. It's family--but more importantly--it's setting the stage. So, let's start the play/game, shall we. Ep2 More theatrical notes With Shiv and Kendall at the hospital auditorium--they're both on stage and in the audience (they're straddling these two perspectives) Tom and "Cousin Greg" as the classic "fools" who lighten the mood and enlighten us about the other players through stark contrast All these people are but actors upon the stage...and, we can't forget that they're not "serious people"

NotGoodyProctor

I'm so freaking happy you're watching this. Some of the best writing ever in TV.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨 I'm just thinking on the series and remembering that this show does season finales like no other show on television IMO. It's like a 15/10 every season. Rolling Stone ranks all four finales in the top 5 of the whole series along with Connor's Wedding.

Melissa

This one's pretty high up on my list of shows with unskippable intros. What a fire piece of music. Also on the list: Severance, The Affair, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, What We Do in the Shadows, The X-Files, Cowboy Bebop, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God

Ohh Succession! This’ll be fun

Andre

Yippeeeeee *jumping and clicking my heels together*

kiwimangle

anyone who thinks you shouldn’t talk politics on a show like this most likely has political opinions that align with logan roy 😬

Jude 💭

Glad you're here for it. And in my experience people who have watched for the first time with me usually have a great time cuz we're all discovering everything together. By the way your profile picture is killing me 🤣🔥

Franklin

I'm so proud of you. I know it can be easy at all. Sending you so much love and strength. I know the universe will reward you for all you do for them 💜🌻

Franklin

Third time is a charm💜 I'm excited for all that is to come

Franklin

I approve this message

Franklin

Good to know. One day dark will get it's time in the Sun🔥

Franklin

👯👯‍♂️👯‍♀️🪩

Franklin

Me too honestly

Franklin

So true

Franklin

Exactly

Franklin

only watched these two episodes of this show then forgot about it so i am going to try it again with you, i’m curious how it’s gonna feel continuing to watch the episodes i haven’t for the first time with someone reacting with me 😂

lula

Oh shit. I have no idea they were that expensive. I was just going off his girlfriend saying "get him something between 10K and 15K". Why do people spend that much on a fucking watch anyways? smh at least I'm happy that family has it

Franklin

Let's get it🔥

Franklin

lol thanks. Summer is coming back around so I'm investing in more button shirts like these

Franklin

lmao🤣🤣

Franklin

Thank you for saying it cuz I didn't want to say it out loud lol that's my favorite genre too. That's why I've been loving schitt's Creek.

Franklin

rich people suffering is my favorite genre! this show is so good. im jealous you get to watch it for the first time, but i'm definitely going to rewatch with you as i havent yet! you are going to roll your eyes, laugh, maybe cry, feel justice and injustice, all at once.

aura aurify

2:22 Franklin realizing Willa is NOT Connor's daughter. I'm DYING.

Melissa

I think that was my reaction on my first attempts to watch the show -- I couldn't see the stupid and laugh because I thought they were SO UNBEARABLE. But that has wholly changed! This show is brilliant, and I love all of it.

Melissa

Just plan on wearing your "Stupid" shirt for every episode -- or I can tell you in advance which episodes showcase the "stupidest" behavior. 😂😂 Make sure it's clean for Season 2, Episode 8. I'll remind you. 🙃 Speaking of shirts, the one you're wearing in the video is 🔥.

Melissa

I have not seen this series before but I am so excited for the ride!

Laura Thate

“I miss judged him, he’s just stupid” 🤣🤣

Ryan Burke

There's no consensus about what that particular watch cost it could be anywhere from 15k to 1M. But it sounds like Tom.didnt stick to the 15k role and he was so giddy about it, I think he may have leaned more towards a 75k ish model. I've always wanted to know for sure!

Marcia

let’s eat

I’m rewatching game of thrones at the moment and yes, the resemblance is uncanny 😄 Succession is like a perfect mix of game of thrones and arrested development

Anait

Apparently I didn't even finish the episode. Definitely didn't see Roy having a stroke or whatever. That might have made me feel slightly better after the baseball scene my first time through.

Shane

I'll give this another shot with ya, Frank. My first time through I didn't know rich people fucking with poorer folks was such a big trigger for me and the baseball scene had me frickin' seething. Never got around to starting the second episode, lmao. I guess when I finish this vid I'll be the furthest I've gotten, lol.

Shane

Same!! Jeremy Strong's performance just speaks to my soul.

Dannielle

The way every response to a request Logan gives in the first episode is basically “ehmmhmmem” is hilarious.

Valaree

I will love seeing first time viewer's thoughts on this!

Melissa

I have note seen a single episode of this show, so I get to go on this journey with you and our community! Yay! I’m so excited!

Fetid Moppet

I'm so glad you're reacting to this!

James Moss

*happy dance*

Valaree

Community: I am an UNAPOLOGETIC KENDALL ROY STAN. 👊🤷‍♀️❤️

Melissa

I’m so glad you’re starting to react to this series, it’s probably my favorite series after dark

People in the comments remember not to post any hints and remarks on future episodes and/or character growth. Allow Frank to enjoy the series as it comes!

It is art on the highest level: acting, writing (plot, dialogue, humor, complex characters), themes, music, cinematography. I am just starting your reaction, so I'm excited to see what you think from the jump. Game of Thrones is such an apt analogy, Franklin. It's the GoT of the corporate, capitalist world. I was utterly obsessed with this show. As I mentioned, I quit it twice b/c the characters were so privileged and abhorrent to me initially. The first time I quit after the Roman/ripping up the check scene. The second time I made it a bit further. It wasn't until my third go 'round that I began living and breathing this show to the point that it was all I thought about (kind of like how I am with Severance or IWTV). I'm always hesitant to push shows that lack in representation and diversity. But, regardless of race, creed, sexuality, etc., none of us can wholly see ourselves in these characters because they're so beyond our life experience. (Unless someone in the community is a secret billionaire. 💰) As always, I'm so impressed with your sharp reads and attention to detail, Frank. I am officially deep into the Succession obsession once again.

Melissa

You have no idea how much this day needed this reaction...two geriatric parents with dementia, (fill in the blanks and you're probably right.) Hope life is treating y'all kindly out there.

Bethany that's me
