Succession S1E3 is stupid. It’s a public company and they just happen to have $3.2 billion in callable debt that no one knows about? Yeah, that would never happen, let alone refinancing the debt through an equity infusion and the auditors just being like “oh yeah, we didn’t know about that debt but okay, that’s fine”

"Discipleship is not a spectator sport. We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf -
Hot take: Succession is wildly overrated. Lumping it in with The Wire, The Sopranos, and Breaking Bad etc. is premature and based primarily on recency and novelty bias, IMO.Originally posted by Moliere View Post

After watching about five episodes I think I’m in agreement here, but that’s pending me finishing a season or two.Originally posted by Donuthole View Post"Discipleship is not a spectator sport.

I completely agree with that assessement. It was good but not THAT good.Comment

I only lasted a few episodes with Succession.

I really enjoyed Succession, though I'm rethinking that now. Very disappointing to learn that a television program would so wantonly misrepresent public accounting practices just to create additional drama.Comment

I enjoyed it, but it is nowhere near on the level of Breaking Bad. I haven't actually watched the Wire of the Sopranos, so I cannot comment on that. I would also not put it even close to the level of Better Call Saul, Halt and Catch Fire, the Leftovers, and many other dramatic shows.Originally posted by Donuthole View PostAs I lead this army, make room for mistakes and depression

Last week I watched "Love Has Won: The Cult of Mother God". It's a 3-ep docuseries about the cult who believed Amy Carlson was God. The overall arc of the cult is pretty whack, and when Mother God finally dies (it's not a spoiler--her death is part of the opening scene) the actions of the cult members are just so, so bizarre. Not exactly uplifting, but it did send me down a fun wormhole for a couple of days researching the cult and a lot of the stuff that wasn't covered in the docuseries. The story is told almost entirely from the perspective of the cult members, but with some interviews and perspective from Carlson's family (not a part of the cult) mixed in.

Is anyone else watching The Rehearsal? If you are into Nathan Fielder's brand of humor at all, you need to check it out. Tonight's episode was absolutely nuts. Don't want to spoil it, but it may be the funniest thing I've seen ... maybe ever.Comment

Mobland, I like it but it's brutal. Also they throw around the c word often, just a FYI. Sorry this is on Paramount, I'm just going to leave it here.Comment

LOL. For some reason this struck me as really, really funny this morning. I picture RCV so desperate to share this information--to be the one who introduces this board to Mobland in all of its c-worded glory, that he just has to find a thread--any thread!-- to post it in. And once he posts, he immediately realizes he has posted in the wrong thread, and despite knowing there is a correct thread, is just like, "Sorry, wrong place, IDGAF" and goes back to shipping starchy root vegetables.Originally posted by RC Vikings View Post
Love you, RCV.
