abduleez1:STOP SPOILING STOP SPOILING💀💀😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 |
Succession S1-4 The best series I've ever binged I've had this series for a long while but I'vent even opened it too even see what It's because the premise didnt really entice me- a series about a rich dysfunctional family 🤷🏽♂️ I prefer dragons, death and blood. But right from the first episode of this series- you can never understand the direction of this show! The best directed series I've ever watched for a number of reasons 1. succession’s outrageous ambition It seamlessly blends explosive comedy with dismal tragedy, often in the same scene, and delivers sharp observations, wit, irreverence and awe, in equal measure. And then there’s formal daring – for example, Season Four’s timeline is just ten days, that is, a day(ish) per episode! At the heart of the work is the study of ambition itself: At a systemic level it continues to prosecute capitalism’s deep contradictions; at the personal level it vivisects the narcissistic, avaricious, self-actualising destructive, bitter, deluded, driven and wicked selves breathing such fetid air; and at the centre is the death-like grasp of the rugged individualist patriarch’s vaulting ambition, o’erleaping itself, and all who stand before it. 2. succession is like nothing else Part satire, part pastoral, part comical-historical-tragical, it is akin to Dallas or Dynasty (less the big hair and bigger shoulder pads – indeed here the comedy masquerades as tragedy) but Succession zeroes in on not only wealth and excess but trauma, sorrow and media-business via grotesquerie and fine naturalism. It looks like a fly-on-the-wall doco – with its use of hand-held cameras and whip zoom – yet is stunningly curated and designed. It is a lux travelogue to estates, extravagant yachts and mountain retreats, but is often claustrophobically domestic. It’s also a business primer, reckless, roiling therapy, living thought experiment and morality play. Mash-ups can sometimes just be mash, yet here the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. 3. the affect How often do you shout at the TV? Watching this show it becomes inevitable, except when it also freezes your hands in dread halfway between shielding your eyes, blocking your ears or clutching at your stomach. You’ll also cry, cry with laughter, in misery, in fear. It’s a car crash – in one instance, literally. You shouldn’t look, but you do – and you will feel something. 4. a moral compendium Evagrius Ponitcus, a 4th-century monk, compiled what Pope Gregory later described as the Seven Deadly Sins. Evagrius was worried that just listing temptation and sin might harm his readers. He knew though that it was crucial work, with each of us needing to know our strengths and weaknesses. Watching the wilful concatenation of vainglory, greed and lust, acedia (despondency) and tristitia(sorrow), that is Succession, it really does pack an ethical punch. 5. succession is its own thesaurus It is tempting just to assemble quotation after quotation of rebarbative, wounding, up-to-the-minute and hilarious lines and neologisms from the show. And bilious, ingenious, dyspeptic many of them are. People even pay just to have Brian Cox – who played Logan Roy, the patriarch – swear at them. There is so much more to the show however than one-liners. 6. characters, actors, performances Merely just listing the character names is enough to elicit a shake of the head, knowing that they are so appalling generous, and evil. Trapped in their wicked closed loops, it’s head-spinning cognitive dissonance. What is not in dispute is how strong each actor is, especially so in this final season where even the smaller parts are stepping up and hitting it out of the park. 7. how the 0.1% live Rich people, literally Les Rois, the Kings. Is it a celebration or a repudiation? Either way, they live in our world, but most are not of (or care for) this world. NB: it's also one of the funniest shows I've ever watched which is strange An A+++++ show

Baddestguyp:😂 it was definitely about Aegon the Conqueror, Viserys thought he was speaking to Rhaenyra |
Lana1:💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀💀 no one's ready for episode 4 |
pu7pl3:Bro is like Samuel L Jackson's character in Django Unchained. Bro hates his own black people for succeeding. I'm sure if it's in the slave era, he'd sell his children for a thank you to his white gods

ProverbBaelish: abduleez1:This message is four years old wtf! Don't tell me you scrolled till 2020? |
abduleez1:It's actually doing wayyyyy better than Barbie. It made 100 million in the US for its second week, that's actually crazy and it hasn't even opened fully in china yet. Let's see how it holds up |
DieRich5:HotD is literally the best show on TV right now 🤲🤲🤲 a 9/10 episode 2
|
oyaskii:But this one's are with Chinese subtitles I'm sure, the real digital copies is coming out tomorrow |
oyaskii:Boy and the heron next |
abduleez1:in less than 2 weeks is crazy and dune 2 is considered a success! My most anticipated movies is coming out the same time
|
SlavaUkraini:It's rare but yes
|
Robertgreene1:Why should they feel bad🤷🏽♂️ it's their preference. What's your business with where they put there dck. You must be gay yourself because it looks like you would want to try it once for yourself with the way you're describing it |
SlavaUkraini:You're just ignorant. You may call it a deformity that's your choice. But humans are peculiar and unique, you can't compare humans to dogs. Just like humans can have ADHD or be blind from birth or have mental issues before they're even born, that's just how anyone can be attracted to his same sex - it's not normal of course but that doesn't make them less human than you are. It's not a choice, if it was - do you actually think they'd choose to be labelled less than a dog from someone like you. What do they stand to gain from homophobia? |
SlavaUkraini:Wait what? |
Robertgreene1:You guys are all just ignorant |
Sheistoopretty:You left the US because the alphabet were all over your face😂😂wtf! |
SlavaUkraini:Dumbest analogy I've ever seen😂 so universal right makes humans more like animals. Maybe you having a slave or two makes you more human.🐱 |
SlavaUkraini:You're comparing human sexuality to dogs? |
abduleez1:They know it'll be profitable just because of the stars and director in the movie. Look at the Gray Man- although no one liked it (except me) it did well enough to guarantee a sequel in less than a week 🤷🏽♂️. The Electric State has Millie Bobby Brown in it - someone that just made a movie (Damsel) that's already in the top 10 most watched Netflix Movies ever made. With Chris Pratt and some A List celebs🤷🏽♂️. It looks like that has always worked for them |
abduleez1:😂it might actually be your thing but I just think it's just very artsy in a bad way. It can be a short film but they made it longer just because - just using bright colours and dark colours with very slow transitions and camera movements 😭 a 9/10 story a bad direction |
Baddestguyp:I can understand your point. But in my opinion - I closed my brain watching the first episode and it hooked me immediately. It's still one of my most rewatchable shows of all times |
samistry:Tried fitgirl but I don't understand torrents they're so slow to download for me I don't even understand. |
blingxx:https:///moviebufffilterbot For those asking for my movie bot. This is for movies alone. Up to 450,000 movies in the bot. Just type the name of the movie and it'll bring the file for download directly on Telegram. Please don't share too much so telegram will not close it abeg. Thank you |
Since the gaming community here is a bust, is there anyone that plays gta5 or fallout and knows where I can download the PC version of this games 🙏🙏🙏 abeg. Maybe a link would be helpful |
oyaskii:I've been saying the same thing. There haven't been any good new movies for streaming for weeks now. All we've been talking about is series and HOTD. Is it because of the strike or something. The only new movie is from A24 'I Saw the TV Glow' and the movie is shit |
The deep has been cooking for a while now
|
Happy birthday Abduleez1 I wish you all the brezz in the world
