I love these high quality, beautifully written things that are also entertaining. There's a ton of great shows now. I think they have sort of replaced movies as the real center of beautiful writing. You feel Logan Roy's grip on the show kind of released in this episode. The whole action of succession is like kicked in when he has a near stroke and season one,. He was sick. That's what drove the entire action and engine of the story.
Today, after Kara and Nayeema discuss what the Dominion defamation lawsuit might mean for Rupert Murdoch and News Corp, we turn to a fictional media story of Logan Roy and HBO’s Succession. Our guests are Brian Cox, series creator Jesse Armstrong and director Mark Mylod. SPOILER ALERT: there are lots of spoilers in this episode, starting at about 10 mins in so go watch the show first.
