E58: Succession Season 3 - Episode 8 - Chiantishire

One of the very best episodes of Succession, this week. Did someone die this week? Roman accidentally sexts his dad. And that is maybe the 10th most important thing to occur in this episode.
The internet seems to think so, I disagree.

E57: Succession Season 3 - Episode 7 - Too Much Birthday

Sona is back and after dipping back into last week's episode we break down the latest. Speaking of breakdowns, Kendal seems to be on the verge of one (another?). It's often funny but there are lots of dark moments here, too.

E55: Succession Season 3 - Episode 6 - What it Takes

What does it take to take down a democracy. The Roy family may just find out. This is a grim episode but full of hilarious moments, nonetheless.

E54: Dexter New Blood - Episode 3 - PLUS - The Final Girl Support Group

Dex and Harrison are still having trouble bonding and Kurt is now a confirmed creep. Harrison has his own (murderous?) vigilante tendencies. And a new podcaster is in town (podcasters are the real enemy, afterall).
Plus, I recommend Grady Hendrix's novel, The Final Girl Support Group (even though I solved the mystery early on). It's an interesting exploration of why we keep fixating on these stories of serial killers. Hey, why am I watching Dexter, anyway?

E53: Succession Season 3 - Episode 5 - Retired Janitors of Idaho

A great episode this week. Starts suspenseful and turns into a screwball comedy.

E52: Dexter New Blood - Episode 2 - PLUS - Yellowjackets and one more attempt at You

The screws begin to tighten on Dexter. I like this episode, as does Sona. Plus, I have seen the first episode of Yellowjackets and it is very good. Lastly, I give You one last attempt and I really like it... at first.

E51: Dexter New Blood - Episode 1 PLUS YOU

Sona and I watch the new Dexter. It is much better than the last few seasons of the show but is the magic back? I am skeptical. Where is that credits sequence? 
Plus I try to watch Season 1 of YOU on Netflix and I am not a fan but I have lots to say about it.

E50: Succession Season 3 Episode 4 - Lion in the Meadow PLUS: More Succession Episode 3 talk

What does this title mean? The Lion in Winter would be more appropriate. Sona finally discusses last week's episode. Adrianne Brodie joins the cast. The shareholder meeting looms.

E49: Succession Season 3 Episode 3 - The Disruption - PLUS: You, on Netflix

Sona tries to get me to watch You. Then we discuss last week's episode of Succession before I do a full recap and review of the current week's episode. They are both really strong episodes, especially this week.
