I'm glad to see how this show has grown in popularity, but it honestly makes it all the more confusing to me that Succession hasn't managed that in three seasons. It's such a good show.

Not sure that's how this works.Quote:
anyhoo, it seems the entire cast states that GREG is the worst character and that Albie is the best. so that would lead me to conclude Greg ends up in the Med Sea.
Is there a link to this? Worth watching?
Greg did say he was coming back after a couple of days, so it's not beyond the realm of possibility that he ends up dead.
My thought is Greg is still there hiding out waiting for the shoe to drop. Never left. And yes, he winds up dead.
Is anyone else totally addicted to the theme music?
I've noticed that HBO in general always has banger theme music. HotD, Succession, White Lotus...
I love the turkey gobble opening theme.frenchtoast said:

from the show I saw yesterday,Quinn said:
I think they'll carry Tonya/Tanya through to next season for television purposes, but there are a lot of hints in the show that she will die.
turns out in real life that Mike White the producer/writer actually went on a safari with Jennifer Coolidge (Tanya) before he wrote the series and shared a tent together.
he basically wrote for her and that would lead me to believe he isn't going to kill her off before the final episodes.
for some reason the "Rotten Tomatoes" interview of the entire cast popped up on my Youtube feed last nightBig Al 1992 said:

Ah, so he basically wrote their own relationship into the show, with a dark twist.
it's pretty amazing that this is a popular USA show..
and yet the majority of the cast are non-Americans
the three italian women stars
Cameron
Ethan
the 3 gheys hitting on Tanya
not to mention all the supporting characters

You realize just about every popular show on TV has multiple foreign cast members, right?

Succession has great characters. The overall plot is good. The details of the plot get too messy. I got bored.
n/m
I hope she makes it to next season (has a 3rd season been confirmed?) because it's so fun to do her voice.LMCane said:from the show I saw yesterday,Quinn said:

"Portia, get your **** together."
"Is that the queen of Sicility?"

Whoever said Portia sucks -- could not agree more. She's such a whiny, downer of a character. Her and Albie both really annoy me.
I have no idea how it happens, but I'm just gonna throw it out there that they're the two bodies in the water. And I don't think it'll have anything to do with the gay scammers or the Lucia storylines. Especially if S1 is anything to go by. Mike White just loves to throw in a bunch of jokes and red herrings to play around with the audience.
Maybe Albie and Portia reconnect and Jack sees them hooking up, gets jealous, and kills them both.

Jack doesn't actually give a sh*t about Portia, though. Quentin has promised him part of the payday in exchange for A) sex, and B) keeping Portia away from the party, so Quentin can run their scam free of Portia's interference. Jack's whole thing with Portia is a ruse. He may have grown to like her a bit, but his primary job has been to distract her / keep her sidelined.
Jack doesn't care about Portia. He's just a tool in the gay guys operation.Brian Earl Spilner said:

I don't mind Albie or Portia. They're young, lost souls.
Lucia Greco would wreck my life and I'd still thank her afterwards. Whew.

Someone had a good take - I can't remember if it was here or on a podcast I heard - but it was basically now that we know Greg is almost assuredly involved in the scam/potential murder plot, him getting pissed at Tanya for bringing her assistant in the first episode takes on a whole new meaning. He wasn't upset that their romantic getaway was imposed on, he was upset that there was an unexpected wrinkle in the ruse. Jack might have even been the original playboy hired to seduce Tanya, but then they pivoted when Portia came along, had Jack distract her, and so they hired a new playboy to seduce Tanya. Something along those lines.
I understand. But it would be a good swerve.

I like it because I hate both their characters as well...
but not a chance.
Others have touched on this previously, but I don't think any of the central characters die and a lot of the foreshadowing referenced so far will end up as red herrings. I could see something random / out of left field like the cocaine gigolo overdosing and the gays panicking by dumping the body.
Could also see something similar happening with Jack; maybe he gets too drunk and winds up in the ocean. Would be a touch of irony after his "beautiful world" and the "deep hole" speeches to Portia.
Only thing I'm still having a hard time with is there are "multiple" bodies involved, which was established from the get go… can't wait to see how it all wraps up this Sunday!

Was multiple guests or multiple bodies when the concierge tells the hotel manager? I need to rewatch that.

I said that a couple pages ago
Multiple guests - so that rules out a few people - the working girls, piano player, the alleged pimp, Rocco and Salvatore that worked in the beach club/lobby. And If you rewatch 1st episode when Daphne runs back to the beach there's a glimpse of someone else you can rule out.

Rocco talks to the manager lady, he was alive. He said one of the guests drowned, and multiple guests were killed.
Did Daphne run into Cam's arms when she ran out of the water after finding the body? I didn't see anyone else.
Lucia says hi to her "pimp" when she firsts meets up with Mia before heading down to watch the boat.
Uncle Rico is Greg! Greg is Uncle Rico!!!
