I felt the past two episodes were meh compared to literally the whole rest of the show. It just felt off somehow. I was excited for J Smith-Cameron and even her role was left to be desired.

I am very interested in Marcus’ storyline though. I just want the best for him 😫

Yeah I feel the same way about these past few episodes too. I still laugh and enjoy it a lot, but maybe because it started off so strong this season I was hoping it would stay that way. Although, I was still kind of emotional at the end of ep 8 though hahaha

I loved J as Gerri but I found even in Succession I found her performance pretty flat when she had a scene (I can't remember which one specifically) where she was required to show a wider range of emotion beyond bafflement or looking like everyone else was an idiot. Maybe they'll develop Deborah and Kathy amends some more and I'll be proven wrong though!

Now I’m wondering what scene/episode you’re thinking of! I think she’s amazing but it def depends on the role and maybe even how she’s directed.

Agree - I found myself getting bored watching the last 2 episodes, which has never happened to me before with this show. I can't pinpoint what exactly was off, but it was super off to me.

For the Christmas episode - I wonder if it’s because it was almost like a bottle episode with a bloated cast? The hiking episode was kinda bottle like but we got to watch Jean and Hannah be their best without other characters.
