Seems like we're missing a dedicated TV thread and with streaming becoming ever more prevalent with the series drop versus the weekly episode feed I think it's hard to see much need for series-specific threads versus a generalised one. Ultimately threads of this nature live or die based on contributions, so please if you want it to thrive, take the time and add posts. If there's a show you like and think others might enjoy, make a post (just keep spoilers hidden).
Anyway. Season 2 of Succession just kicked off this Sunday
A welcome return of the Roy family in all their dysfunctional glory (who as majority owners in a media conglomerate bear some striking similarities to a certain Murdoch Family ). If you haven't jumped on board I highly recommend it, if nothing more than to marvel at the unrelenting savagery of the truly rich and powerful to everyone and each other in the blackest of comedies. Written by Jesse Armstrong one of the creators of 'In the thick of it'.
I absolutely adore this show. I think it's one of the best things HBO has released in recent years, in large part because is it just so outright brutal in terms of family dynamics, with all four siblings beholden to their tyrannical father whose presence overshadows their lives vying for attention, recognition and validation. I also like it because albeit there's an air of vulgarity to the sheer wealth of these people, but not in the manner of the wolf of Wallstreet in terms of showiness, versus just the acceptance of certain givens. As one character explains to a new member to the fold: -
Also upcoming on the 16th of the month we have season 2 of David Fincher's Mindhunter landing, which looks to build on quality work of the first season to continue telling the tale of the growth of the fledgeling FBI profiling team and their ongoing attempts to understand the mindset of serial killers through interviews and analysis
Looks like we are getting Manson, and more of everyone favourite the Co-Ed killer, Ed Kemper.

Look, here’s the thing about being rich, It’s fucking great. It’s like being a superhero, only better. You get to do what you want, the authorities can’t really touch you, you get to wear a costume, but it’s designed by Armani, and it doesn’t make you look like a prick.
