Succession
Spoiler:
No real curveballs. I thought Tom or Greg would be the puppet hire, Tom made more sense to get Shiv on board at the last possible moment. It was her final flex of power over her siblings. Glad Tom and Greg live happily ever after. :lol:

I thought Kendall might take the elevator up instead of down at the end there, if you know what I mean.

What a show. So stressful and cringe, in a good way, so I am glad the ride is over. I will miss it, though.

Barry

Spoiler:
The first half had some funny stuff, I thought the final part after Barry was killed was dumb. Should have just ended it with the death

Barry:

Spoiler:
The "oh wow - " had me rolling. The part after the shooting was weird but I thought the Lifetime movie was hilarious.


Succession:
Spoiler:
I am the oldest boy!
At a party given by a billionaire, Kurt Vonnegut informs Joseph Heller that their host had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his novel Catch-22.

Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have — ENOUGH.”

Binged the whole season of Barry yesterday. The kid killed by playing baseball video was pretty hilarious.

Succession:

Spoiler:
As expected pretty much. And i agree with RiotPunch that i was wondering if Ken was going to take a leap. It's far more tragic for him to live though.

Problem i had was the same one i had all 4 seasons: i just didn't give a **** about any of them. Was basically rooting for the worst possible outcome which is pretty much what happened. Logan even got screwed posthumously.

Succession and Marvelous Mrs. Maisel showed the blueprint on how to nail a final season. Barry and Ted Lasso should have taken some notes.

Succession

Spoiler:
I was half expecting Logan to be alive since we didn't actually see his body. He was just **** with them. Fortunately they didn't go that route. Having all 3 be miserable at the end was perfect. I would have liked to see a bit more of James Cromwell throughout the series.

Absolutely agree on Cromwell. He realized how awful they all were. Kind of the voice of the audience, for me at least.

Spoiler:
It looked like Tom might be the happy one but they made sure to dismiss that with him and Shiv riding in the limo. He puts out his hand to her and lifelessly plops it in while looking like she was holding back a ton of rage and contempt. If they ever do a movie in the future a la Entourage or Deadwood, I would bet almost anything it kicks off with those two being divorced and her making his life as miserable possible.

That's precisely why we didn't see more of him lol.

Only watched episode 1. The guy who went on bachelor, just for the zipline, was great.

Finished Treason last night...it was definitely disappointing, though there was one thing in the finale that legitimately caught me off guard.

For all its faults, Ted Lasso wrapped it up nicely.

Wait, I thought finally was today? Damnit the whole reason I didn't watch last night is I thought Apple TV+ said premiers Wednesday. Guess I know what I'm doing tonight.

Return to Milwaukee Bucks
