'Succession' Is Driving Me F-ing Nuts

Here we are, the penultimate Succession episode. Going in, the question remained: Will an Elon Musk-type guy crumble their father's media company, or will the Roy siblings continue to run their family empire into the ground themselves? And then we almost came closer to finding out in the extra long, 74-minute episode. That meant 14 more minutes than usual of back-stabbing, venomous whispering, and just generally treating everyone who doesn't have the last name of Roy with complete contempt—but very little by way of actual plot development. Are the Roy siblings simply too far gone? Most definitely.

Everybody wants to share their car history, what they're driving, what their project car is, and their relationship to the franchise and the character. I get a taste of what it feels like to be a sports hero, like Michael Jordan or Babe Ruth, and people just assume that I'm some professional driver or mechanic—and I'm not. It’s pretty cool to be a symbol of something that people aspire to be on a personal level: family-centric, loyal, does the right thing, and has some really sick cars."
