    I'd like to watch Succession.  People like it.
    Highly recommend. Great combination of thrilling drama and laugh out loud comedy, at times.

    Hamsterdam may be my favorite storyline, as whacked as it was.  That was S3 I believe....
    2,3, and 4 were amazing.

    My hot takes, especially the latter: Personal season fave for me is season 4. I think season 2 has been getting wayyyy too much love lately (for some reason).
    Eh, I don't know about that. Everything's not always about race (assuming that is what you mean). To me, the reason why 2 is so good is because they were daring enough to change up their main characters so dramatically and it worked to perfection (would be the musical equivalent of Achtung Baby or No Code maybe). I don't think any other show, that's not a one season type of thing like Fargo, has even attempted it. 

    SPOILER*-*-*-

    I actually wish we saw more of those characters in subsequent seasons although it was cool how they kept them operating in the shadows and stuff like they would in real life.

    But yeah, 4 is my favorite as well...1-4, to me, are almost all on the same level though. 


    Haha, what? Nah nothing about race. Though, while we're at it - 9 out of 10 times it is indeed about race. But, anyway, regardless, all the stevedore/longshoremen casting was great. The guy who plays Frank Sobotka is great.

    SPOILER RUINER AHEAD: Other than that, it was just not great. Especially the way it concludes, more than anything the way it concludes. 

    Seems like the season gets a lot of love for somehow being "underrated" which I do not think is the case. It's properly rated, just ahead of season 5. I go 4, 1, 3, 2, 5.

    But I'll consume any of Simon's shit. It's all so good

    You should see the area right outside my wife's work. It's in Norristown and there are people shooting up literally right outside her window. They've called the cops. The people scatter. The cops leave. The people are right back in the same spot. It's crazy

    God damn, man.  That is brutal. Not sure how I'd deal with that being right out my window.

    K&A is literally Hamsterdam.  They shut down the Septa station even.

    The messed up part is that there is literally no help for these people.  Without a ton of money, there's nothing worthwhile that will get you out of it.

    There was at the very least an SIS planned to go in there but people have lizard brain and politicians get in the way, so on we go with the hellscape.

    They're tearing down the entire city, dude.  All going to look the same soon.

    Granted Downey's must be a complete disaster in there for no one to take that space in what, over 5 years?  But still...another unique looking structure coming down.

    There's a problem when it's cheaper to demo than to reuse. Such a good looking building, especially on that corner.

    It’s why I love what they did with Abigail vare so much. They may be condos but at least they look like it always has

    True. At the same time I don't think that building could be demoed. It's a giant old ass piece of granite. Plus who knows how much asbestos is hidden inside.

    But yeah big fan of what they did there, lest I know plenty of public school advos that hate that it's not a school anymore. Same thing with Bok, too, good work there. Actually, pretty sure the same people bought and developed both.

    haha...this is true.  Would like to see them try to bring that down.

    Yeah, man.  Bok is a good example for sure.  That space is incredibly well used for the community as well.  It has bigger development written all over it long term, but yeah. Didn't know it was the same developers though

    Speaking of HBO and the Sopranos, how much are yous looking forward to this prequel movie? The casting actually looks not that bad. Crazy that his son is playing Young Tony.
