It sure is great to have Succession back for Season 4. I mentioned
already how sad it will soon be over, but it's so much fun to jump back into the
insanely dysfunctional world of the Roy family. I'm not a businessman, but I
imagine the weird negotiate against yourself scenario pictured last night is not
actually how multi-billion dollar deals actually work. But I'm not here to earn
an MBA, I'm here to watch people be really mean to each other on private jets.
Oh yeah, and to get in on the ground floor of The Hundred. Who could resist
Substack meets Masterclass meets the Economist meets The New Yorker?

I did 5 or so episodes of Yellowstone on a plane. I just couldn't.
Kevin Costner's character is nearly a billionaire, with more land than Rhode Island. But he'll murder and kill to protect it from legal claims around it. And he'll find disenfranchised young men, separate them from their families, mentally and physically abuse them, brand them with his name, tell them no one will love them the way his family does, and brainwash them. That's the nxvim playbook. It's literal cult behavior.
Yet the show seems to want you to root for him and his family, unlike Succession, where the show wants you to enjoy their fuck ups and misery
Lol, this perfectly sums up Yellowstone, also explains why it's so popular among US conservatives.
