Captains of the World (2023)
Excellent mini series on World Cup
2022 World Cup finals was the greatest soccer match I've ever seen and this series nailed the narratives. It also didn't hurt that Messi finally won the World Cup. Even knowing the results, this series didn't great job of reliving the tournament and building up the suspense to the final game.
One of my favorite aspects was interviewing all the captains and showcasing the aging the leaders who are at their final World Cup tournament. The show does a really good job of capturing the emotions (the good and the sad).
Very easy watch, I finished the whole series in 2 days and was left wanting more. Guess I have to wait till 2026/2027 for another potential series. Great docuseries overall. Solid 9/10 for me.
Succession: Connor's Wedding (2023)
Best succession episode ever
So much emotions. So unexpected. So real. Absolute classic episode in all of television history.
I literally thought this was some "test" or maniacal tactic by the Logan side. When Tom called and told the kids of the news. I thought it was a lie and somehow get the kids guards down. But as the episode progressed, it seemed the grim reality of Logan passing became more and more true. Still till the end, I somehow held onto Hope they could revive Logan.
This episode was a testament to how incredible TV can be and all the parts that equate to this amazing show. The actors were incredible. How all the kids reacted differently and in their own ways. Just showed how well the actors knew their character. Sad to see Logan go so early. But this made for an incredible episode.
Masterpiece.
