“One of the worst “recap” podcasts I’ve ever heard. Succession is widely regarded as one of the best television shows of all time and yet you’d never know it listening to these two amateur hosts act like they’re smarter than the Emmy award winning writers each week. Every episode is filled with...”Read full review »

“They are insightful, knowledgeable, round out the points with explanations, and listen to one another in normal voices. Not a ton of breaks so I respectfully listen to the few ads they have. Just a great high-level recap podcast. Keep it up.”

“I like the recap format of this podcast and enjoy what both David and Tara have to say. There are so many podcast where the host just wants to hear themselves talk but this is not one of them. They share interesting insights on the plot points and do a thorough and thoughtful review of the...”Read full review »

“We get it you get screeners and you don’t like the show. “Im glad it was only 9 episodes because 10 would be too much”. Thanks for sacrificing yourself in reviewing this show. It was an ok show in the beginning now these two act like they are Hollywood insiders and their screeners did I mention...”Read full review »

“These two, particularly David, come across as completely unenlightened and half the time have details wrong about the episode they’re discussing. Seems like they watch an episode one time and think that imbues them with the authority to speak on the shows writing faults and strengths. Total...”Read full review »

“Listened to you all year, but Tara especially seemed less and less enthused by the time they did their review of the season 3 season finale. It literally took 24 minutes into the 12.13.2021 episode to talk about the finale. Tara gave a lot of “yeahs” and “yeps” when discussing. After hearing...”Read full review »

“I’ve only listened to their recap of Season 3, so maybe earlier episodes are different, but the hosts don’t seem to know their audience. We listen because we want to hear a recap of a show we love. The hosts spend a lot of time criticizing the writing and the plot lines. It’s very infuriating. I...”Read full review »

That’s literally the opposite of everything succession stands for. It feels like the disappointment from personal predictions being incorrect, overflows...”Read full review »

“Hosts clearly know Succession, but I feel like most of the show is spent talking about either real-world parallels that are barely connected to the show’s universe, or how they love the show, but hate the show. You’re going to get this with any rewatch/recap, but it gets tiresome after awhile.”

It’s also excellent in terms of not putting up a firewall (ahem, Vulture) after trying to read/listen to so many...”Read full review »
