Cue Nicholas Britell’s theme: Succession is back on HBO
Plus, check out Kylie Murphy's short film, Green, before it leaves YouTube's Omeleto channel
TV Lists HBO
Here’s what’s happening in the world of television for Sunday, October 17. All times are Eastern.
Top Pick
Succession (HBO, 9 p.m., season-three premiere): Just in time for the start of the holiday season, Succession returns with some serious family drama. The third season picks up right where the second left off, with Kendall (Jeremy Strong), Greg (Nicholas Braun), and Karolina (Dagmara Dominczyk) walking away from the press conference where war was declared against Logan (Brian Cox).
Roxana Hadadi will be recapping. Here’s all the details we know so far about season three, and what we don’t know so far about season three. We interviewed J. Smith-Cameron (Gerri), showrunner Jesse Armstrong, and PR execs on how the Roys should deal with their current clusterfuck. Read past recaps here, or read up on our summary of last season. (Or catch up this way. We won’t know.)
Wild Card
Green (streaming on YouTube’s Omeleto channel): Green is a short film about a female stand-up comedian who gets bumped when a famous comic returns following sexual misconduct allegations. Green was released by the YouTube channel Omeleto, which curates shorts from Oscar-qualifying festivals. You can read more about the movie from their article on the film, and the article on Directors Notes when it was featured there as well. Finally, you can read more on director Kylie Murphy’s website.
Unfortunately, according to Murphy, Omeleto is probably going to take Green down soon. “There are certain metrics a film needs to meet in order to stay on the channel (likes v. dislikes, avg. watch times, etc.) which I totally understand. This subject matter doesn’t exactly elicit a positive consensus from the internet,” Murphy told us over email. “I’m really grateful for the opportunity to share the film on such a big platform. But a place like Youtube is a microcosm of our larger world, which continues to prop up what Green is critiquing. Part of me has to admire how hard the trolls are working to prove the points of the film.”

TUAYPCWI’m delighted Legends Of Tomorrow returned so swiftly! Even Batwoman’s return was a better episode than most. https://mattthecatania.wordpress.com/2021/10/14/thats-a-lot-of-batwoman/I did a double feature of Mystery Of The Wax Museum (which inspired the original Clayface) & 2005’s House Of Wax. Both have their merits but are completely overshadowed by the Vincent Price version in the public consciousness. Though none hold a candle to my personal favorite, Waxworks.
Tell US About Your Pop Culture Weekend? There isn’t much to tell, really. I finally watched the Myppetd Haunted Mansion, which was a delight. I might rewatch it with my oldest, today.I also watched What If episode 7, which managed to have no dour moments but still end up making me miserable. I don’t think I like this series, honestly. Every episode after the pilot has felt like homework.I finally saw an autoplaying trailer for part of the Wheel of Time show, and I’m cautiously optimistic that I won’t hate the look of magic in the show, which is more or less what I expected when the show was announced.
bravo kylie!!!! green!!!! so good and real and tragic and funny! and oh yeah guess i’ll watch succession too
Succession season 3 predictions:Episodes 1-9: Cousin Greg seems like a total putz. Episode 10: Cousin Greg is a genius.Roman masturbates on something.Connor has trouble talking family members into attending his wedding.In a foolhardy move, Kendall sacks Winterfell, believing Shiv will show up with 500 men to fortify it. She brings 10, urging him to return to the Iron Islands. He doesn’t listen. Then Stewy comes around and castrates him.In either episode 5 or 6, Logan smacks one of his descendants.Episode 8 inexplicably has no cold open. Toward the end of the series, Shiv, Ken and Roman share a sweet little moment as siblings, as if none of the backstabbing or conniving had ever happened.
Greg definitely demonstrated intelligence during each of the prior seasons and always appeared to be smarter than Tom (a low bar to be sure)
I was happy for all the season 4s announced at DC Fandome yesterday, but especially happy for Young Justice Season 4 being available right now! Well, the first two episodes, which are great and slide right back into the quality and intrigue of the previous seasons. New episodes every Thursday, which now means I have a total of FIVE DC shows to catch on Thursdays after work (Titans, Doom Patrol, Young Justice on HBO Max, plus Legends & Batwoman on the CW site since I don’t have any way to see those live).
