Not good. Just...not good. I mean, the whole thing was so stale, awkward, boring, flat, poorly acted, etc. The only thing I will agree on is how aesthetically pleasing it is, but that's not even Sam, that's the talent of crew members not being paid nearly as much as Nepo baby Sam L.
I truly got nothing out of the first episode. I don't connect with anyone and therefore don't care what happens to any of the characters. Not even the Weekends character was charming so this whole love story/cult leader storyline is just more unrealistic than every Harry Potter book/film.
I mean I can go one but it's all been said before because it seems that most people who don't confuse good aesthetics with innovative and compelling storytelling and TV making understands just how deficient this show seems to be. Watched the first episode out of curiosity. Now I don't even know if I'll watch the second episode because I don't care. I rather just re-watch all of Succession already lol
