About this Episode

There's a lot of TV. Like a lot. And for one reason or another, Matt and Tony just hadn't got around to Succession... until now. The story of a disgustingly wealthy family of disgusting people being disgusting to one another certainly fits in with the last couple decades of prestige TVs anti-heroes and morally bankrupt creeps, but did it work for our hosts?
Matt and Tony dig into the show's first season, what there is to like and dislike about the Roy family, talk about how current events makes it tricky to spend so much time with these kinds of characters, and discuss where and how the show won them over after a difficult first handful of episodes. They also discuss the art of some of the show's more brutal insults, as well as the timeless effectiveness of a well delivered "F--k off!"
