His 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

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.

eh shit happens :lol:

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

hmmm...

let me think on that

but you make a damn compelling argument.

sidebar...

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

no - I think they had the opportunity and time to tell the story, but got lost along the way because they never had a compass

with a story like Succession the creator should have had outlined the finale before he filmed the pilot

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

YES... OKAY of course you are 100% right

I cannot argue AGAINST that

but...

He CLAIMS he DID have a map.

so you want to call him a liar? OK

Or he did a less than stellar job resolving everything? I think I would go with the latter

But I think the JOURNEY was so good? In THIS case?

I'm good

This isn't a LOST or Sopranos level f*ck up.

I would say its his work that is exposing him as a liar


Or he did a less than stellar job resolving everything? I think I would go with the latter
every plot doesn't need resolution to be good...

thing is when most people re-watch a show,

whose writers either followed the show's bible or the creator already has the ending outlined -or where he /they envisions the viewers last view of this world,

the viewer usually gains greater or new insight on the story and characters
easiest examples Justice League Unlimited, Wire, Cowboy Beebop

It isn't wack

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.

how can it be one of the best when every show you just listed -except Sopranos - is superior in every way?
and we know hbo got at least 20 more truly killer shows not including the mini series

shit hbo has cancelled shows way better than succession -


shit just for 2023 on HBO Barry is better using only 20 min eps

if we start going through hbo's greatest hits - these comparisons will get worse fast


by hbo standards?

succession is one of the best- of the mediocre
