Claire Woolner Has Never Seen Succession
Summary
Comedian Claire Wollner, who has never seen Succession, presents a satirical script imagining the show as a vulgar, surreal spa episode featuring a naked patriarch and a cameo by Donald Trump. Host Kyle Ayers and guest Daniel Schar, who have seen the series, react to the surprisingly accurate character dynamics and absurd plot twists. The trio then discusses the show's themes, compares it to other HBO series like The Sopranos, and plays a guessing game about Wollner’s other viewing habits.
