Succession: What It Takes (2021)
Season 3, Episode 6
3/10
And so begins the slide...

Yes, I know the Roy clan is a metaphor for the Murdochs. The creators nary have a single likable character of the whole lot. Surprising that Logan heads up an $85 billion dollar news and entertainment conglomerate and can't decide to call a doctor to treat a UTI, much less name a successor to the throne. Now, take a cognitively impaired one-term president, nickname him 'the Raisin', then flip his D to an R. 15 minutes ago, the company was about to be taken over in a proxy battle, an suddenly they're at a CPAC-esque conference to knight a president? Instead of another old white-haired guy, they go with the 'little d Democrat' who just left his job from a cable news outlet. I was watching last night like it was an episode of SNL from 2008. Scatter in a few borrowed bits of dialog from Billions, and that was the episode. I'm disappointed because instead of crafting a story, they are starting to resort to low-hanging fruit witty punchlines. I'll see if this episode is an anomaly if they end the season strong in the last 3 episodes.
