The one part of Vice that was still amazing and worth every bit of our attention. Sad to see it go. I ask the question: do we need more Succesion and Billions at the expense of something actually worthwhile?
Those shows that provide entertainment are the reason hbo could show anything by vice in the first place. Do we need more sopranos? GoT? The wire? Deadwood? Carnival? Etc.
That's the whole point of HBO. Entertainment that at least tries to be high quality. Will succession meet that mark? No idea, they're only one season in. But if they fail they will not be the first hbo show to do so.
I should've been more clear about what I meant, I find Billions and Succession to be in a similar vein of narratives about the upper echelons of society complaining about 1pcer 1st world problems was thinking HBO has egregiously continued footing the bill for the same content, albeit entertaining for some but woefully boring for me. But my entire point is deflated because HBO is clearly not producing both shows. In short, I'm a reactionary keyboard warrior talking about my ass about something subjective. My apologies.
