For anyone who watches Succession, I had a debate last night with another watcher (I'm only halfway through season 2 so NO SPOILERS, please). I think cousin Greg is way over the top in his stuttering, awkwardness, etc. Is it only because I've been binging it, or is he annoying af to anyone else? Because the antagonist in our conversation isn't bothered by him.

Yes and I agree, those two together is perfectly written/plotted.

IMO nothing would be lost if cousin greg wasn't part of the show. Tom could have had his weird relationship with any sort of subordinate

Eh, it's a way to include that character with the family.

SUCCESSION SPOILERS:

I just saw the scene today where Greg is telling Tom that he's thinking of taking a different job and Tom freaks out and holy crap I'm back in. Just for those scenes though, I don't need Greg with anyone else.

I'm watching the third season of The Crown and it's just so hard getting used to the change in actors.  I realize that they couldn't turn Clair Foy into the frumpy Queen but there was basically a 1 year span where she went from attractive to not-attractive.   Season 2 ended with the birth of Prince Andrew in 1964 and Season 3 starts in 1965 with the death of Churchill.

The Boys new season has some doozy episodes and absurdly boring episodes.  And this whole scientology thing with The Deep is odd as hell. Overall, I am enjoying it though.

It's getting better!!  :excited: :excited:.  I'm liking Stormfront more and more!  And the Deep with the church group is pretty damn funny. :billdance:
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

the boys would be better if it was 80% superhero/vought stuff and 20% boring heuwie/butcher/frenchie/MM stuff.

Yeah, they are working pretty hard to develop something there when it's not necessary.  They probably could have Butcher say something other than $!#* too?  Not that I don't mind it.

I totally agree that that the emotional side plot stuff takes away from the show.  Perhaps they are just trying to fill time and cut the fx budget?  Also, I get the feeling that Butcher moving on from his ex-wife and her bastard is too good to be true.

Good for you, man.  That reminds me I should probably go back and rewatch s1 of BCS because I somehow ended up watching that before I had seen even 1 episode of Breaking Bad.  There's obviously some stuff in there that wouldn't have made sense to me without the context of BB.

when homelander is not on the screen, everyone should be asking, "where's homelander?"
