Succession is great, can’t wait for it to return.

Jules72

LT42 oh really… series 3? Oh yeah let’s have it!

LT42 You’re all cunts.

You been on the home-brewed Turkish Mad Dog 20/20 this evening!?

LT42

vinnyt77 The producers of these shows, Vin, I suspect they’re involved in pop music too.

I’ll be on the authentic sauce this evening as the bars have opened again. I need to work on my Mad Dog recipe, my brother in law was upside down last weekend, much to his wife’s chagrin. Poor chap was in an awful state. I warned him.

Just started filming with Adrien Brody and Alexander Skarsgaarard (or however you spell his Homegrove name) added to the cast. Looking forward to it. Comparing it to MoE isn’t really fair, IMO. Succession is a borderline, if not an outright, comedy (BOAR ON THE FLOOR). MoE took itself very seriously. Enjoy(ed) both immensely.

Succession is odd, ’though. Some people outright hate it and all the characters involved. Personally think that’s the point but, yeah, Marmite for many.

Jules72

jonattonyeah yeah different shows for sure, but point I was making is that, for me at least, Succession is a classic. Whereas MoE is merely a decent drama imo.

Homegrove

Mad_Cyril recently Fargo season 2, Watchmen, this and Hacks. Which it seems we’re not getting here before HBO Nordic changes into HBO Max in September.

Jules72 MoE is much more than decent drama. The characters are relatable and empathetic and the plot was griping and completely uncontrived. Succession is a very entertaining albeit misanthropic satire, largely based on the Murdochs

Jules72

alistair different people are into different things 🙂

alistair

Jules72 Agreed. They have both kept me entertained. Bring it on. Succession is very funny. Will never forget them impersonating animals to please Logan

Mad_Cyril

Jules72 Whoa there!

Jules72

Mad_Cyril haha fck off MC 🤪

Really liked the first episode of prison drama Time. Sean Bean and Stephen Graham were both superb

vinnyt77

alistair Looks proper grim. IN 👍️

alistair

vinnyt77 Graham, Bean and McGovern. Doesn’t disappoint. It is proper grim but there are one or two moments of light.

mono-stereo

alistair I thought it was brilliant, good sound track as well. Sean Bean is probably my favourite actor.

vinnyt77

alistair Two episodes in. Grim.

alistair

mono-stereo he conveys vulnerability really well. Broken elevated him to great actor for me

alistair

mono-stereo Graham ie also up there. The Virtues is brilliant if you haven’t seen it

Millsy

mono-stereo lol. He’s no Craig Fairbrass

Amps

mono-stereo Sean Bean is probably my favourite actor.

Find him unwatchable. Ruins nearly everything he is in.

LT42

alistair he conveys vulnerability really well.

Homegrove

Oh how the turntables…. I remember every Brit shitting on him in GU-days.
