"Just finished The Killing liked it a lot but not really the last season as much. Breaking Bad, Homeland done Was going to do Luther or The Wire next - can you tell me which one is best of the two?"

"Can't all like the same thing and I used to work with a bloke who actually sat there fuming whenever I mentioned I thought both Bob marley and Bowie were average amd would bring it up a year later in conversation still angry. Thought breaking bad was average as well and turned succession off after about 3 episodes, yet managed all of Ash v evil dead which TV connoisseurs probably think is shit (and in reality is). Give me Deadwood, BoB and Justified any day of the week."

"Manuel, I think you'd enjoy Succession more if you viewed it as a comedy rather than worrying about the storylines. For me the plot is there just to make the characters do hilariously awful things."

"low - Yea, don't get me wrong most of these shows are all very clever and obviously written by highly intelligent people. But like I say, with Succession there isn't enough sub plots and variety for me. Take Roman for example, he has no storyline, nothing going on. In the first season when Kendall killed that kid in the car that was a good subplot, so I don't know why they don't write more storylines like that? The whole show is just about the family business. Anyway, hardly fucking important :-)"

"Manuel - yeah, I really do think it’s that good. No doubt when I watch BB and The Wire again I’ll think that they are my favourites. All 3 are exceptionally high quality, and for different reasons, so the concept of a ‘favourite’ is completely transient. The arc of Succession is narrower than that of The Wire, but the writing and direction is exceptional (that’s not to say BB and The Wire don’t have the same quality, as they do)."

I did choose to ignore it as i couldn't be bothered to list all the subplots to someone that clearly has a problem paying attention.

"My main point (below) you conveniently decided to ignore I note, and just got your teeth into an after thought, Pathetic. Very typical of WHO and typical of a cսnt like you. ''Nonsense. BB had a lot more going on, sub plots, more going on with the characters, etc. Succession only seems to have one storyline with hardly any diversions''"

Anyway, ultimately, who gives a fuck anyway, it's just TV. I don't hear many people talking about Succession given how 'great' it is, hardly anyone at all in fact."

"Opinions and all that but it's hardly ""average at best"" And to say it's it's just about a very wealthy family squabbling is silly, you could say the breaking bad is just about a drug dealer"

"lowlife - Wow, better that BB and The Wire? Another wow. I thought it started really well, but now think it's average at best, it's just about a very wealthy family squabbling, or maybe I should watch it again as I may have also missed a few bits."

"Think I’m going to watch season 3 of Succession again. So much detail that I print missed a few bits. It quite possibly is my favourite TV series, just ahead of Breaking Bad and The Wire. Hope they don’t screw it up in future seasons and know when to stop."
