There is something special about that moment for me. It's one of those moments when the writing and the performance work not just in tandem, but in synergy. WELDON: I feel seen by this show, and I love it. WELDON: What if I forget to burp the toilet wine is when I stood up on my couch and thought, OK, this show is for me - not just in a, I like this show - but this show was for me as in, I feel targeted. And I thought, what if I forget to burp the toilet wine? But the truth is, I'm not. And it turns out you can make it from fruit and ketchup, but you have to burp the wine bag as it ferments.

SARAH SNOOK: (As Siobhan "Shiv" Roy) Oh, honey. MATTHEW MACFADYEN: (As Tom Wambsgans) So I did a bit of research and I got deep into the prison blogs again. Now, he's volunteered for that, but now it's starting to hit home, he's doing research about prison life, and this is what he has to say. And he's thinking that he's going to go to prison. He's going to be the public face of a scandal facing the organization. He is thinking he's going to be a kind of corporate scapegoat. It's from the fourth episode of Season 3, when the character of Tom Wambsgans, played by Matthew Macfadyen, gets to give a little speech to his wife, Shiv, played by Sarah Snook. But then a moment like this one I'm about to highlight comes along.

I delay watching episodes because I might not be in the mood for the dyspeptic churn of it all sometimes. I keep proselytizing (ph) about it because there are times I'll admit that I get what the naysayers about the show are saying. It's about, of course, a family of awful people who run an awful organization, an awful corporation. Every Sunday night, it drives conversations on one very thin slice of Twitter so it can make it seem like it's a bigger hit than I think it might actually be. Heard of it? It's kind of a critical darling. WELDON: Yeah, it's a moment from a show called "Succession" on HBO. But it is the end of the year and we are not going to do any messing around. HOLMES: Well, I want to say first that I don't know if pages of calendars float to the floor anymore. HOLMES: And also here from her home on the West Coast is Aisha Harris. HOLMES: Joining us today from his home studio is Glen Weldon of NPR's Culture Desk.
