Screener Squad: Succession Season 3

Succession Season 3 Review

SUCCESSION SEASON 3 TV SERIES REVIEW

“Succession” has concluded its latest season and we finally got a chance to sink our teeth into it. Following the bombshell Kendall Roy (Jeremy Strong) dropped concerning Waystar’s cruise line controversy, he has found a renewed desire to dethrone his tyrannical father Logan (Brian Cox) to become the company’s next CEO. However, he is slow to realize that his own ego and drug addictions may be the biggest obstacle in a path already strewn with obstacles. Meanwhile, the other Roy children and extended family must decide whose side in the brewing conflict will benefit them the most. This leads to Roman (Kieran Culkin) stepping up to show his value within the company, though this also reveals how horribly his deviant and impulsive behaviors can cripple the skills he’s finally learning to wield correctly. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg of this season’s complex narrative chess game. Oneofus’s own CEO Chris Cox has called board members Justin and Drew to determine whether they thought this season continued to be a profitable investment of their time or if it’s a stinking asset ready for liquidation.

Born in the wilds of northern Virginia, Chris managed to put all of his survival skills to use and barely escaped with his life to Austin Texas in 1992 where ever since he’s dabbled in everything from plumber’s assistant to sandwich maker, from band to bar management. An opportunity to see theatrical release films for free by becoming a critic on a local public access show called “The Reel Deal” turned into a full-time job when Chris and his friends decided to take it to the internet. They built the site Spill.com, adding multiple podcasts and animated features, to no small amount of success. During this time, a fortuitous friendship sprung up between Chris and young Brian Salisbury, who was also a local film critic, and they merged their forces of will, and their laundry list of ideas for shows, to eventually build this community of critics. While Brian eventually followed his heart to a new family, Chris continues on with a cast of colorful folks from all over the country (and a few others). You can also check out Chris in his videocast, along with Martin Thomas and Danni Danger, that One Of Us does with our friends at Bell of Lost SoulsCrossover Event. He also regularly guests on the video game website Rage Select. Follow Chris on Twitter and Facebook and check out his Amazon Wish List.

 

 

Justin Zarian (Screener Squad, Eye on the Prize, Breakfast Pub, Assistant Site Manager)

Justin’s fate as a movie fanatic was written in the stars when his birth forced his parents to cancel their planned Oscar viewing party. While growing up in California, he was often seen in front of the television watching and re-watching Star WarsJurassic Park, classic Disney movies and a steady stream of animated shows. This eventually led to a B.A. in Film at Brigham Young University and an Outstanding Student Teacher Award for displaying a level of film knowledge so insane that even his fellow film students couldn’t compete. He received his M.A. from Syracuse University and is currently pursuing a teaching certificate, but still volunteers at One of Us every so often for the fun of it. His hobbies include non-stop film conversations, wondering how Mass Effect 3’s ending went so wrong, espousing the joys of shooting guns (but not hunting, as he’s quick to note), writing the next great American television show in his head, and anything else entertainment related. You can find him on Facebook once in a blue moon.
