Most of the list was good
Don't agree with a documentary being on the list tho

He's good!
It ain't all on one person to make a show great!
So there's no real problem with critiquing his shortcomings everyone has them
Yea agreeI'm just saying he good not just ok.
And he more than just the writer you gotta respect how he executed his vision.
To me that's MORE than okay.
but dialogue isn't storyHis dialogue is excellent
but dialogue isn't story
at extreme-
sometimes a show or movie delivers a great story with mediocre dialogue poor screenplay or choose to do sparse dialogue
or a show / movie delivers great dialogue with a thread bear story or no real story (decent tv sitcoms or movie rom-coms)
imo the best movies and tv match brilliance on story and screenplay
- if succession is an all time great show- then excepcional projects that balance story and dialogue like justified, wire, kiss kiss bang bang or shield s1 etc are all time grossly under rated

eh shit happens
Game of Thrones had 4 seasons of being the best thing ever done on TV - but the writing and production values went to shit
Succession didn't fall off in quality of production or screenplay - only story
Succession s1 is brilliant and if each season after were siloed they would each be very good - but taken as a whole the story faltered
"all the pieces matter"depending on the story it is
a soliloquy can be that. It be narrator inner voice etc.
But I COMPETEY understand your point.
But I feel pound for pound?
He hit the mark more often than not and I could easily let plot points go.
no - I think they had the opportunity and time to tell the story, but got lost along the way because they never had a compasshmmm...
let me think on that
but you make a damn compelling argument.

would you have WANTED another season or 2 hour movie to wrap things up further?

I'll add to that - think about thiswould you have WANTED another season or 2 hour movie to wrap things up further?
I'll add to that - think about this
Spectacular Spiderman writers outlined s2 while writing S1
and had mapped out where they were taking s3 before writing s2
I would say its his work that is exposing him as a liarHe CLAIMS he DID have a map.
so you want to call him a liar?
every plot doesn't need resolution to be good...Or he did a less than stellar job resolving everything? I think I would go with the latter

It isn't wack
It is overrated if it's put in best tv of all time category
how can it be one of the best when every show you just listed -except Sopranos - is superior in every way?You know I hate ranking sh*t usually
But Succession is one of the best dramatic series on hbo and in cable history.
Just based on the performances.
I think that's fair and not an over reach.
It's not just okay or forgettable.
But if we ranking? I also think wire and deadwood are better than Sopranos
And I love that show.
And I could make a solid argument for OZ
Just saying.
