Oof. I thought S1 was garbage, aside from Billy Bob and the smartass lawyer he was paired with. Not hopeful.
Everything about that premise is up my alley, especially with buzzwords like "hyper-kinetic"!
My first thought was Rick's final episode as maybe a hallucination or something, depending how they end his story.
Flashback sounds more reasonable, though 9-10 years later, looking the same might be a little off.
He should play his twin separated at birth, Blane. It would be nice of him to raise his niece Judith.
I'm 15 minutes into the first episode and want to stop
How did an actor of Billy Bob's pedigree get dragged into this
NO NOT FIXED
Bernthal is an excellent Punisher. He is too good for Netflix though.
I just watched the first three episodes of Succession after reading a fairly positive review of episode 3.
- Episode 3 is indeed really good
- I had no idea Kieran Culkin was Macaulay's brother
- Kieran was fantastic in Scott Pilgrim, which I rewatched over the weekend, and he is fantastic in this
So yeah, give it a shot.

Succession is pretty entertaining and Kieran Culkin's character is far and away the best part of it.
It's just like when a Doctor comes back on Doctor Who for an anniversary episode. Yeah they look older but you just roll with it because it's fun seeing that character again.
:rubs back of head :
I mean yeah, he's one of the greatest.
The episode did pick up near the end though so maybe I'll stick with it. What were they thinking with William Hurt and that clicking thing?
Goliath S2 wasn't nearly as good as S1. The main character literally could have been anything other than a lawyer for all that he never entered a courtroom. It was also pretty much a nonstop grimride to darkville.

S1 was David E. Kelly (not sure about S2), whose stuff I've enjoyed in the past. I guess that's no guarantee that everything a guy like that touches is gold...
Well, that sounds like a peachy environment in which to make entertainment...
Dark is supposed to be good too
edit: ooooooh Last Chance U Season 3 trailer
July 20th

Has anyone seen that Doug Liman YouTube Red show?
Actually everyone who isn't Billy Bob is super lame. Like, whenever he isn't on screen the show turns into some terrible USA Network shovelware
This sounds like an improvement, because all the law firm characters are super lame.

Alex Kurtzman developing several new Star Trek TV shows
Perhaps he should focus on Discovery first...
The only thing I dislike about Succession is buying the idea that Brian Cox was a good leader. He established no plan of succession and trains no one for the role apparently. I guess that's the point. But him telling his son that he's an idiot holds no weight because of it.
Oh fuck.
Oh fuck it is finally happening.
Glad they didn't go live action so it won't end up a mess like TWD did, just go ham with the Gore and stay true to the source material.
Beyond hyped for this.
Well, all actors aren't Billy Bob. And if you create a show around a specific actor, that actor is gonna have sway, especially if he's more than just an actor.
I like the fact Levitan and Seth are stepping up and saying something about their network.
It reminds me of the Flintstones comic about when Fred explains how crucial Adam and Steve are to a neighbor. The neighbor states, "you have given me a lot to think on. But I probably won't."
I hope something good comes from this.

With that story about Netflix desperately wanting to sign him and his producing partner, this is pretty big.
Also, good on him, that's the perfect stand to take.
I dont understand this, isnt fox spinning the news and sports off to something else while scripted shows stay on neo new fox?
Good shows are good shows.
(And you might want to read up on what Invincible is.)
New Fox will include the Fox network, Fox News, and Fox Sports (they aren't part of the sale to Disney/Comcast).
Well, Disney or Comcast will be buying them up while News, sports, and the broadcast channel infrastructure are spun off.
Unless I'm missing something, it seems a little weak that people are loudly speaking out against their corporate parents/siblings only now that the future basically dictates a split one way or another. It's very much an 'eating your cake and having it too' situation. They either move their deals elsewhere or the Disney/Comcast purchases sever the connections to Fox News for them.
