What Day Of The Week Is Succession On
Okay, let's settle this once and for all. What day of the week is Succession really on?
I know, I know. The official answer is Sunday. But hear me out. I have a theory.
The Case Against Sunday
Sunday nights are supposed to be relaxing, right? We're gearing up for the work week. Maybe ordering pizza. Not watching the Roys tear each other apart.
Must Read
Seriously, after an episode, I need a lie-down. My blood pressure spikes. Is that Sunday vibes?
My unpopular opinion? It's mentally a Monday show masquerading as a Sunday one.
Exhibit A: The Anxiety
Succession gives me anxiety. Like that feeling you get on Sunday evening when you realize Monday is looming. You know the feeling.
The relentless ambition. The backstabbing. The casual cruelty. It's basically corporate life amplified to eleven.
Who wants that on a Sunday? No one. It's a Monday preview.
Exhibit B: The Power Plays
The show is all about power. Ruthless people clawing their way to the top. Sound familiar?
It is mirroring our own work lives! The office politics. The endless meetings. The feeling of being utterly disposable.
These are Monday themes, people. Succession simply knows this all too well.
Exhibit C: The Existential Dread
Let's be real. Succession makes you question everything. Is wealth happiness?
Does family even matter? What's the point of it all? These are the questions that plague us on Monday mornings.
While we are staring blankly into our coffee cups, wishing for the weekend. Succession is here to remind us that it's going to be a long week.
My (Totally Serious) Conclusion
So, here's my argument. Succession is on Sunday in name only.
In spirit, it's a Monday show. A very expensive, well-written, anxiety-inducing Monday show.
It preys on our fears about work, family, and our place in the world. And that, my friends, is peak Monday content.
Am I the only one who feels this way? Or are you all just too afraid of Logan Roy to admit the truth?
"You are not serious people." - Logan Roy (probably about my theory)
Okay, maybe he's right. But I stand by my analysis. Watch an episode of Succession, then try to tell me you feel relaxed. I dare you.
Therefore, consider this my official request to HBO. Please move Succession to Monday nights. Embrace the chaos. Lean into the dread.
It's what Logan Roy would have wanted. Or at least, it's what would have made him the most money.
Regardless, I am sticking to the truth: Succession is a show that lives in your head rent-free, mocking your aspirations and highlighting your deepest insecurities. And that is definitely Monday's work.
