What's it about?

This week we enter the boardroom, fire someone and say Fuck off to anyone who’ll listen… As we talk TV show extraordinaire, Succession. 

 

This is a rare beast- a show that ran for exactly the correct amount of time.  Each episode is a five-star example of gold standard writing, acting and directing. 

 

Biting, horrific, hysterical, charming, satirical and tense beyond measure, the show is as if Dynasty and The Thick of It moved in together, had a baby, ate the baby, sold the remains and destroyed the planet. 

 

With an extended cast of characters, each almost equally deplorable, sympathetic, selfish, vane, likable and evil, each played perfectly, the show follows the 1%, basically folk granted the super power of immense wealth, as they take back-stabbing to new, previously unreached heights. 

 

For today’s Bubble Episode, we focus mainly on the last season, the last episode, and last stand of these desperate, pitiful, morally bankrupt heroes. 

 

So join us with the boar on the floor, Greg the Egg and more ways to say Fuck off than you’d think possible. 

 

Who will succeed?  Let’s find out together…
