Succession

SEASON ONE

This show was not what I was expecting but now, I’m watching to see what happens next. It’s one of those shows that once you start watching, you can’t stop.

The Roy family is very disfuctional and very rich. You have Logan, Kendall, Siobhan, Connor and Roman. Also there’s Frank, Tom, Greg, and Gerri in the main group. And there’s present wife, Marcia. Logan is trying to decide who he will leave his empire to.

The season starts out with them celebrating Logan’s 80th birthday; and that he announces he is staying as CEO indefinitely. The grown children are not happy about that especially Kendall. He thinks the Logan should step down. Logan still has to decide who will take over the company.

Logan – he is the father and head of Waystar Royco. He is married to Marcia who seems to understand him. He does not seem to have any plans of stepping down like his son Kendall is hoping.

Kendall – I can’t figure him out yet. He seems to be the one that knows the business the best. He is ready to take over and disappointed when Logan stays and hangs on to his company a little longer.

Siobhan (Shiv) – She works in politics and seems to love what she does. She is not involved in the company right now. Her husband Tom works at the company and she gets her information from him.

Roman – he is just has the spoiled rich kid attitude. He works for the company, but really what does he do all day. He has these crazy thoughts and not afraid to say them out loud.

This entire season is about trying to get Logan to step down. Kendall is meeting with different investors and things get tense among the siblings. Season one also ends with a wedding.

Dr. Foster

Season One and Two

This show was also recommended to me and I’m glad I took the time to watch it. This is a mystery drama series. Talk about a woman scorned. Well, this doctor is and takes action.

You would think from looking from the outside that Gemma Foster has everything. She seems to have a happy life until she finds something and gets suspicious of her husband. From there, her world goes into investigator mode. She is a General Practitioner and the head of her office doing very well. She has a lot of friends and good patients. Her husband Simon better watch out.

Gemma goes to the extreme trying to figure out why her husband has another girlfriend. She is tracking his every move. Gemma does some crazy things; and the show will keep you watching to see what she will next. She has to remain the loving and devoted wife while she is secretly putting a plan together; so she can come out on top of the situation.

Season two goes into more depth about how Gemma is handling her new world . It also dives into her son Tom more. He was a victim by being caught in the middle of Gemma and Simon. Kids see more that you think. Watch to see what happens with him.

Not a lot of episodes for each season, but it will keep you interested on what will happen next. A quick watch on you may enjoy.
