I watched the first ten minutes of Succession a few months ago and thought "this show may be great, but I am going to really hate it by the end but I wont be able to stop watching." So I abandoned ship on Succession.

Barry though was brilliant through and through. The humor, acting, direction, writing, and action sequences were individually brilliant. And I thought Barry had something really insightful to say. When child-Barry says "the bad guy fights everybody except himself", I was like that's a hell of a thesis statement, and relevant to all of us, even if we aren't narcissistic actors or serial murderers.

Also the bit about Mark Wahlberg being afraid of forests and Gene just being like "ah yes of course" had me in stitches.
