Switching Channels #2: HBO's Succession (Patreon)

We're back to talking TV, this time HBO's buzzy comedic family drama Succession, which Genevieve, Keith, and Scott convened to discuss on the night of the series' season 2 premiere. Among the topics covered: the best (worst?) power dynamics at play within the lovingly detestable Roy clan; the effect the show's real-life parallels have on the viewing experience; which of the Roy siblings will be most beaten down by this season; and Cousin Greg's wonderfully awkward hugging style. Please note: here be spoilers for Season 2 Episode 1, "The Summer Palace,"  though they are mostly confined to this episode's second half.
