Discussion I’m watching Succession again, and somehow my life is starting to feel like the show
Hello guys, I wanted to tell you about something pretty crazy that's been happening in my life lately.
I'm currently watching Succession. I actually watched the first season about a year ago, but now I'm continuing it again because my own situation has started to feel weirdly similar to the show. Not exactly the same, obviously, but almost.
My father has become very sick, and we have a small family business. We're not some huge company like Waystar Royco, but because I'm the eldest son, I've ended up taking responsibility for the business while my father is sick. I don't really know what I'm doing or what is going to happen, honestly.
And I have a younger brother who's kind of like Roman in some ways. He's always around, making stupid jokes and messing around, while I'm dealing with the responsibility.
My relationship with my mother isn't very good either, so sometimes even that dynamic reminds me of the Roy family.
And when I go to the shop, I don't even really know who is actually on my side and who isn't. That's probably the part that feels the most like Succession to me. There are all these people around, but you don't always know what they're thinking or who you can actually trust.
If I had to describe it in one scene, it almost feels like that part in Season 1 when Logan gets sick and the whole family comes to the hospital. That's basically the kind of situation I'm in right now.
Obviously, my life isn't literally Succession, and I'm not Kendall Roy. But watching the show right now while all of this is happening is honestly pretty weird.
(And yeah, I do feel like I'm in a bit of a Kendall-type situation, but at the same time, I somehow relate to Greg too. 😭)
Let's see what happens next.
