In this episode, we discuss the TV show's connection to the HBO show 'Succession' and how the filmmakers should take some inspiration from it. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

·      3:30 Different cinematography. Longer shots, less music, and more personal moments can really make a difference in how we understand the show. Now that the audience in older and has a better handle on the story, a more sophisticated portrayal could go a long way.

·      15:05 Focusing on relationships. Further, how relationships change. Succession follows a business family which is incredibly dysfunctional, and it is the relationships that really drive the story forward. Though Harry Potter isn’t similar in that way, focusing on a relationship driven story could show us more of the characters we think we know. 

·      19:56 The day doesn’t always have to be saved. If an episode ends on a huge downer, that might add something to the show.

·      24:23 More on Voldemort’s rise to power. We don’t have a strong connection between Tom Riddle and Voldemort. Additionally, we only really see the inner workings of his life at the final few acts of the story. It is an interesting story we should see more of.
