will ferrel is a terrible actor. every scene is about him being will ferrel and not about the story being told. he is the loudest mouth on the scene and its obnoxious
I love that Eric really seems to be vibing with the theme song in these first two episodes. Succession is one of those shows where I don’t hit the skip intro button. Nicholas Britell did a great job with the score.
succession is probably the only show where i didn't skip the intro ONCE. and the best part - i don't even know why. It's just...necessary to watch it. Gets you in the mood
@@thegentleassassin it's not an attention span issue, it's a having other stuff to do in the day issue. But yes, people's attention span are pretty short even if that's not why they'd skip.
Eric noticing the distance between Tom and Shiv during the proposal is why he’s my favorite. Little details like that go so unnoticed but they’re so important to the characters and their relationships with each other
@@gillisthom I can see elements of the Trump-family dynamics too across the generations, including Donald's father Frederick, as well as the US ex-president's relationship with his own children. A lot to mine all around.
It’s any of the mainstream news orgs. Their all filled with low bar scumbags who are nothing but negative cuz they only have money and power as their motivator
If I recall correctly when Brian Cox (Logan) was asked who was most similar to their character he said Nicholas Braun who plays Greg. I guess that's why his character seems so authentic LOL.
@@wrestlinginfodude2644 S4 is actually my favorite, but mainly because I love the culmination of all of the character arcs so much. The payoff for EVERYONE is just so damn good.
But best actor on the is definitely Jeremy strong,one of the greatest television performance of all time and greatest of its generation with Bob odenkirk
Great to see some of my favorite reactors finally watching Succession. Literally one of the best shows of this century. I can’t believe I never realized that was Macaulay Culkin brother all this time smh
Fox doesn't have theme parks with characters, Disney does. It's inspired by the Murdochs, but they also take inspiration from many different figures and companies.
Adam Mckay (Writer/Director of The Big Short) & Will Farrell Share and Produced a lot of shows and movies together as partners (25 years of partnership), until 2022 when they had split the partnership due to a creative decision in the HBO Series Winning Time, Where Mckay Promised Farrell the lead role but then casted John C Reily instead without informing Farrell. Thus, the relationship ended.
I'm so glad you guys are reacting to this show. If yous are enjoying it now yous will be absolutely obsessed with it shortly because it only goes from great to outstanding
I’m so glad you’re doing this show, it’s brilliant! The music and editing 👌🏼 And the acting is flawless, Kieran Culkin’s every face twitch is genious. Every character is an asshole but you grow to like them 🙈
I’d argue it’s just more boring than most shows in terms of the subject matter, so it has a more niche audience. I mean, hour long episodes about the inner workings of a corporation, no matter how entertaining the characters themselves and their dynamics are, are still gonna be pretty boring to a good amount of people.
You will discover they are all bad people, thats the point of the show, there is nobody to route for but that what makes it more interesting...Its kind of loosely based on Rupert Murdoch that owned Fox and his family...
I also thought Natalie Gold was THAT Natalie Gold reactor, but no, its the actress that plays Rava, Kendalls ex-wife, I do wonder if they are related though
8:56 I watched this episode 2 years ago & at the time there were barely just 2 reactions to season 1 so I'm telling you right now, this is my only reason for checking out this video so sorry. Sometimes you like these characters for trying so hard to act horrible.
nah Will Ferrell has for sure fallen off from an acting perspective but he's got some great films in his lineup. That's gotta be the wildest actor i've heard Calvin and Aaron don't like
Guyssss!!!!!! Announcement!!!! Bridgerton s3 trailer has been released. You can react if you want, but if you want to go in blind. That’s okay. But I’m telling you this trailer made me squeal!!!
2:08 I'm gonna do you guys the courtesy of assuming you haven't seen The Other Guys if you think Elf is the only good Will Ferrell movie. Directed by Adam McKay as well.
I CAN'T STAND TOM! I love to hate Roman. For some reason I like Roman, but I think its because I feel bad for him. I like Shiv probably the most but it's hard because I dontcreally respect ANY OF THEM so its had to "like" any characters.
The Tom and Gregg dynamic is one of the best on TV, but I think Calvin is taking the 'bullying' a little bit too deep.. it's a hilarious watch and seeing how it develops
Hey Guys, glad ur watching this show..its phenomenal..i slept on it and now have been binging it over last few weeks. on Season 4 now...a lot of people i know love Tom most..i hate the guy..he freaks me out but he is funny...I think Greg is always hilarious...
Just keep watching Jeremy Strong (Kendall). Dude gives a master class in acting in this show. Sarah Snook (Shiv) is so good you’ll hate her. Matthew Macfadyen (Tom) is absolutely perfectly cast. This show leaves you wanting to shower afterward. Disgusting corporate greed and sleaze. Excellent portrayal

I still listen to that piece from the final scene of season 4 on the regular
Just unbelievable
Yeah this theme song is a masterpiece!
succession is probably the only show where i didn't skip the intro ONCE. and the best part - i don't even know why. It's just...necessary to watch it. Gets you in the mood
jesus i didn’t think people actually used the skip intro button. are people’s attention spans really that short ?
@@thegentleassassin it's not an attention span issue, it's a having other stuff to do in the day issue. But yes, people's attention span are pretty short even if that's not why they'd skip.
"you're like the rich Jerry" lmao

Ikr! He’s so perceptive.
There are a million reasons why he’s my favorite. That’s definitely one of them.
Eric might be my favorite reactor of all time, mainly because we vibe SO closely to all of our preferences.
Oh. I thought you were talking about Tom (who's my fav character on the show). But yeah, Eric's my fav Blind Waver too.😊
>What is the Real World Equivalent of Waystar?
Fox, it is Fox, and Murdoch family, as an inspiration, not a clear direct equivalent
Predominantly the Murdoch family, but some other families too, like the Redstone family.

Man...if these guys are getting THIS much out of the first season, Season 3 and especially 4 are going to BLOW THEIR MINDS.
S2 is enough to blow anyone minds,it's literally succession best season and one of the greatest seasons by a show of all time
@@wrestlinginfodude2644 S4 is actually my favorite, but mainly because I love the culmination of all of the character arcs so much. The payoff for EVERYONE is just so damn good.
@@wrestlinginfodude2644I don’t agree, I think S3 & S4 are better. I think S3 in particular is derided way too much.
Season 1 is honestly the best imo
Roman's a lawsuit waiting to happen but his one liners and comedic timing in situations is phenomenal. Kieran Culkin's acting is top tier.
What’s even more realistic is like most people in his situation, he gets away with “fucking over the poor”
But best actor on the is definitely Jeremy strong,one of the greatest television performance of all time and greatest of its generation with Bob odenkirk
😏
to think matthew macfadyen also played THEE Mr Darcy is still mindblowing lol, such a fantastic actor!!!
oh y’all are gonna love Tom and Greg 😂
Eric noticing Natalie Gold is hilarious cuz I was like, She's a reactor!!! as well lol
I was just mugged by Shiv is the best. Greg is a deer in headlights 😂
0:19 should be in the best of 2024 Blind Wave. Calvin's right.
He is a Culkin Culkin. He is his brother. He also plays the bedwetting nephew in Home Alone
The Bear AND Succession. Its an era of GREAT TV. Gotta say though. I swear Breaking Bad and BCS has paved such a new lane.
I don't think BCS necessarily paved any new lanes.
@@johnjungkook2721 BCS perfected all the lanes paved out from past tv shows
@@johnjungkook2721I mean it somehow became an even better show than Breaking Bad which was already an amazing show.
@@SparkyClarke BCS?
@@o.m.a.r3311 yeah it’s just as good if not better
"Is Connor the eldest?" Yeah about that.
He is not the eldest boy.
😂
He is the eldest son of his father ... or IS he? 🤷
"Is Connor the eldest?" Is such a funny question if you know lol
😂😂😂
“I’m the oldest boy” lol
The way each son says goodbye to their dad at the end of the episode says a lot about their relationship with him.
I apologize if my bell summoned you…
Great to see some of my favorite reactors finally watching Succession. Literally one of the best shows of this century. I can’t believe I never realized that was Macaulay Culkin brother all this time smh
Tom's line delivery is priceless. "I'm kidding~~~"
This show is so good I want reactions of them watching for the second time. So much to pick up on.
The intro to succession never gets old!
The real world equivalent is actually Fox not Disney. The show is inspired by the family of the founder of Fox 'The Murdoch family'
Fox doesn't have theme parks with characters, Disney does. It's inspired by the Murdochs, but they also take inspiration from many different figures and companies.
Sort of like Vought with The Boys, lol, but no suoperpowers.
Why is it impossible to be both? Its like if disney and fox news were one company since conception
@@grelkie agreed! It IS a fictional show, after all.

I'm so glad you guys are reacting to this show. If yous are enjoying it now yous will be absolutely obsessed with it shortly because it only goes from great to outstanding
The writing is just world class. You laugh, you cringe or feel awkward. Just brilliant.
The Will Ferrel slander is just outrageous and astonishing…..
Sensational intro
We all trying to do our best fck off
Is the most relatable set of words anyone can relate to
This show is so a mix between drama and dark comedy
Guys use subtitles so you don't miss stuff
I’m so glad you’re doing this show, it’s brilliant! The music and editing 👌🏼
And the acting is flawless, Kieran Culkin’s every face twitch is genious.
Every character is an asshole but you grow to like them 🙈
Omg this is going to be a fun ride watching your Succession reaction videos
I'm so glad that all the humor is hitting with the boys. Succession is sneakily one of the funniest shows ever
as they were discussing this show is based on the Murdoch family who own FOX !!!!
It's not based on them, it's inspired by them. As well as a bunch of different corporations like Disney.
Talladega Nights, Step Brothers, and Elf alone like WHAT??????
Blades of Glory and Wedding Crashers for Will Ferrell are undisputed!
He's clearly a Caulkin
I keep saying this show is too smart for The Normies. Glad you guys are up to par
When you think yourself a smart fella, you really just a fart smella😎
I’d argue it’s just more boring than most shows in terms of the subject matter, so it has a more niche audience. I mean, hour long episodes about the inner workings of a corporation, no matter how entertaining the characters themselves and their dynamics are, are still gonna be pretty boring to a good amount of people.
I also thought Natalie Gold, the reactor was a part of this show at one point
Natalie Gold is the actress who plays Rava Roy (Kendall's ex-wife).
Shiv and Tom doing American accents 🤯
Guys great time for a reminder that Dune2 is available on digital platforms ;)
I promise you all will learn to love Tom.
I forgot he was annoying coz he became my fav and I forgot such scenes
By the end of the first season I hated both Tom AND Greg; by the end of the final season, they were the two I was pulling for the most.
@@smichelle65 for real. It was Tom then Roman for me but Greg is a package deal
can mr editor please start including the subtitles in the episodes. The volume of the show is way to low and i cant hear shit ;)
Sorry Eric, they're right. Talladega Nights and Anchorman are comedy greats but Will Ferrell has made some *dooogshit* movies
I had a brain aneurysm when I was 16! Had a needle in my spine!
Connor is the eldest, has a different mom
10:03 needs to be a sound bite
Talladega Nights IS actually one of the best comedic films ever made. So is The Other Guys. I wont stand for this Will Ferrell slander.
You will discover they are all bad people, thats the point of the show, there is nobody to route for but that what makes it more interesting...Its kind of loosely based on Rupert Murdoch that owned Fox and his family...
A Great Will Ferrell movie that Calvin and Aaron should like - Stranger than Fiction,
This is a great show to watch after shogun. The subtle wars within both are top tier
I also thought Natalie Gold was THAT Natalie Gold reactor, but no, its the actress that plays Rava, Kendalls ex-wife, I do wonder if they are related though
I feel like Calvin is in a constant state of pain watching this show and I am just loving it.
He's like that with Sunny too.
0:18-0:25 😂😂
8:56 I watched this episode 2 years ago & at the time there were barely just 2 reactions to season 1 so I'm telling you right now, this is my only reason for checking out this video so sorry. Sometimes you like these characters for trying so hard to act horrible.
Can’t wait another week for an episode can anyone leak it
nah Will Ferrell has for sure fallen off from an acting perspective but he's got some great films in his lineup. That's gotta be the wildest actor i've heard Calvin and Aaron don't like
Not continuing invincible?
On my homepage the video says 32min ago but i check the comments and i see 5d 😂 what's going on UA-cam
Guyssss!!!!!! Announcement!!!! Bridgerton s3 trailer has been released. You can react if you want, but if you want to go in blind. That’s okay. But I’m telling you this trailer made me squeal!!!
The actor that plays Greg is genuinely just as awkward in real life.
2:08 I'm gonna do you guys the courtesy of assuming you haven't seen The Other Guys if you think Elf is the only good Will Ferrell movie. Directed by Adam McKay as well.
Calvin's reaction is cracking me, up. Reminded me of how i was feeling. 😂Like it's hard not to throw a shoe at some of them.
I CAN'T STAND TOM! I love to hate Roman. For some reason I like Roman, but I think its because I feel bad for him. I like Shiv probably the most but it's hard because I dontcreally respect ANY OF THEM so its had to "like" any characters.
Watch this movie "Escape from Tarkov. Raid" from Battlestate
“Is Connor the eldest?” Well yes but actually no
The Tom and Gregg dynamic is one of the best on TV, but I think Calvin is taking the 'bullying' a little bit too deep.. it's a hilarious watch and seeing how it develops
I knew these guys would absolutely love this show and get invested in it. The only thing that would make this better is if Rick was watching, too.
gregs for tomlete
i love tom❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Calvin is such a buzz kill
He isn’t, you are.
@@Film_Addict true he’s a fun guy and seems happy to be there watching the show
Hey Guys, glad ur watching this show..its phenomenal..i slept on it and now have been binging it over last few weeks. on Season 4 now...a lot of people i know love Tom most..i hate the guy..he freaks me out but he is funny...I think Greg is always hilarious...
I love that Calvin can barely contain his hatred for every character on this show.
They are completely disfuncional emotionally, they literally don’t know how to emote and a “ yeah whatever “ from Shiv is the best anyone could get
Is that the same Natalie gold? I think she said she works in the film industry but not sure
I agree.
Will Ferrell is overrated as hell.
I can't even watch Elf, that movie is full cringe and I just feel dumber watching it lol
Just keep watching Jeremy Strong (Kendall). Dude gives a master class in acting in this show. Sarah Snook (Shiv) is so good you’ll hate her. Matthew Macfadyen (Tom) is absolutely perfectly cast.
This show leaves you wanting to shower afterward. Disgusting corporate greed and sleaze. Excellent portrayal
It's really unfortunate the actor for Greg is such a r*pist in real life because his character is lovable.
huh?
overrated af.
Nah.
We all misspell 'goated' from time to time, don't sweat it
