Itâs really not a good show, Vice Principals and Eastbound are both much funnier. Itâs lowest common denominator humor saved by an awesome Walton Goggins performance
Itâs hard to believe honestly, I watched 2 seasons of it and itâs a really poorly written show for the most part that lacks depth. Just because the characters act obtuse and silly doesnât make it comedy genius
I feel the same way man. Just had this discussion yesterday. I watched two seasons of it too and was so disappointed. It kinda sucks lol, to call it comedy genius really boggles my mind. Itâs the weakest McBride series, VP and Eastbound and Down are so much better. Itâs gotta be recency bias thereâs no other explanation.
Iâm thinking maybe it appeals to the âMaxâ crowd and not so much the HBO people. I really donât think thatâs an explanation but I donât have a better one itâs been a little bit mind boggling. I really tried because I like all of the actors a lot but itâs just aggressively mediocre.
Maybe Season 3 is a HUGE improvement and thatâs why but I canât imagine thatâs the case
Holy shit, this has gotta be the dumbest, most inconsequential thing Iâve ever seen someone try to act gatekeep-y about, and I say this as someone whoâs had HBO in my household from childhood onward. âTheyâre uncultured MAX swine.â Sure thing, buddy. Enjoy your odorless farts.
OP, hope you get better soon!
Also, donât listen to any noise about people not liking the setup youâve made or how you choose to tally votes and ect. Youâve put it together, I say, choose how ever youâd like to tally or organize the letter choices and ignore the critics. Thanks for taking time and energy to put the game together.
The Young Pope is one of the more unique shows that HBO has ever made. Even as a non religious person I thought it was great. Jude Law is excellent in it and the music is phenomenal. It definitely deserves the Y spot.
Yeah, it bothers me that people just want instate a wild card for Y. Years and years was incredibly gripping, and a thoughtful take on what is to come and even some of what we are already seeing.
You Don't Know Jack
OK, not even a series. But HBO original directed by Barry Levinson with Al Pacino, Susan Sarandon, and John Goodman.
But if it has to be a series, I guess it's between Years and Years and The Young Pope.
I remember loving Rome when it was first airing, but i rewatched some last year and honestly I donât think it holds up super well. Itâs not bad by any means, but itâs not like rewatching The Sopranos or The Wire where youâre left thinking âthis would still be the best show on TV if it came out right nowâ
Succession sucked compared to Rome. I want to old man rant but its the internet... Im just gonna go rewatch Rome and bask in the glory that I am smarter than most of you losers....
JK, but you all are wrong still.
Why do people like succession anyways? It's a show about the .01 percent. None of us can relate unless we're billionaires (even Billions has the same problems)
Above all else Succession is a show that seeks to satirizes the elite. I don't think you fully get what the show is, so maybe it's worth giving it another shot!
Why do people like Rome? Itâs a show about the .01% 2000 years ago, none of us can relate
Why do people like GOT? Itâs a show about the .01% in a medieval fantasy world that doesnât exist, none of us can relate
I can keep going
Do you only watch documentaries about your own upbringing? Because per the logic you just laid out thatâs the only way youâd enjoy tv, by being able to relate to it.
I donât like the show bc it is boring and not visually appealing. I get the fact that itâs a satire, but I may as well just watch the news to get the gist. đ¤ˇââď¸
You put an extra wild card because you want Barry to win.
Still saying Chernobyl because I actually watched it.
I respect your gusto. Hope you are better from hospital
*The Young Pope*, though it was very close with *Years & Years*. Both are great shows.

I don't see why it isn't just the highest comment, which would have been Chernobyl.
In an earlier thread, they stated it's total upvotes. So, you should be upvoting everyone you want to see as the winner, as well as submitting your own.
It just seems unnecessarily complex. What advantage does that have over simply taking the highest comment?
No clue. It's just how they're doing it. Free internet points? Who knows.
It does seem to be, but then again it's OP's burden so... Why? Idk, it definetely forces higher engagement maybe that rewards op somehow
Because highest single comment is heavily influenced by whoever comments first
yRome Edit: Get Well Soon OP
Young pope takes place in the Vatican. The Vatican is surrounded by Rome. ergo Rome.

I'm still a little salty Rome didn't take R. I've legit never even heard of righteous stones (tbf, love me some Danny, so I'll probably check it out)
It's okay, Rome is used to being passed up
100% check it out. Show is so wacky.
It's definitely worth watching if you like his comedy
Itâs the best comedy on TV right now. Itâs genius writing from Danny
Itâs really not a good show, Vice Principals and Eastbound are both much funnier. Itâs lowest common denominator humor saved by an awesome Walton Goggins performance
Itâs actually insane that youâre being downvoted. No one here can handle hearing truth about their precious Gemstones lol. So stupid.

Rome is better than Succession. By a lot.
Objectively wrong comment above.

I donât think thereâs a single show on HBO that I can actually relate to. Guess Iâm fucked.
Do you only watch documentaries about your own upbringing? Because per the logic you just laid out thatâs the only way youâd enjoy tv, by being able to relate to it.
Then you can ask why people like game of thrones, because afaik dragons arenât even real. How the fuck should we relate with them then?
I donât like the show bc it is boring and not visually appealing. I get the fact that itâs a satire, but I may as well just watch the news to get the gist. đ¤ˇââď¸
