Succession

The show notion is deep and unexpected . Casting is so perfect and so professional . Amazing is the ups and downs done in a way that you don't feel it's sometimes enological . Sara Snook ( Chev) was my favorite with her feminine turnovers that made sense even when it didn't !. What was amazing to me are the dialogues .. how can this be written in script with all the arguments , interruptions and F words !!! . Logan Roy is the kind of fathers who loves his children so much that he couldn't accept their failures , we see this model often in real life . From children's side , they loved him back but again couldn't accept his guidance or orders .. so real , emotional and touching .

Bravo.

Succession stands as one of the most striking shows in modern television, and a key element that elevates its narrative is the unforgettable, grandiose soundtrack composed by Nicholas Britell. From the moment the iconic opening theme begins, you're instantly immersed in the world of unimaginable wealth and power. The score is elegant and luxurious, echoing the sophisticated, high-class realm the Roy family inhabits. Britell's music feels almost like another character in the show, effortlessly embodying the themes of ambition, betrayal, and cold opulence. Jeremy Strong's performance as Kendall Roy is nothing short of mesmerizing. His portrayal of a man battling inner turmoil while trying to escape the shadow of his powerful father is captivating. Strong brings a raw emotional depth that makes Kendall both tragic and compelling, solidifying him as one of the most fascinating characters in recent television. Visually, "Succession" is just as grand as its soundtrack. The breathtaking cinematography - from convoys of luxury cars to sweeping helicopter shots of towering skyscrapers - reinforces the immense wealth and power of the Roy family. Every shot exudes an almost overwhelming sense of grandeur, allowing the audience to feel the weight of their influence and the isolation that comes with it. The show's brilliance also lies in its exploration of how wealth, bad parenting, and childhood trauma shape adulthood. The Roy siblings, each scarred by their father's toxic influence, struggle with personal demons and fractured relationships that drive much of the show's emotional tension. In addition, "Succession" offers a sharp critique of the media's role in shaping public narratives. As owners of a global media empire, the Roy family controls not just wealth, but information - underscoring the dangerous influence of mainstream media on society. Overall, "Succession" is one of HBO's finest creations. With its rich soundtrack, brilliant performances, stunning visuals, and sharp commentary on power and media, it is a must-watch for anyone intrigued by the complexities of wealth and family dynamics.

This show, right from the first scene all the way to the last, was amazing. I am so sad it has ended. Not one performance was bad. The casting could not have been more spot on. Everyone was very believable in their characters.

The script was fantastastic. I did feel that some episodes fell back a little. They felt a bit like filler episodes where not much happened. This was only a few episodes in the second season. But overall, I found that the majority of episodes as a whole, had purpose and wasn't lacking at all. I really wish it didn't have to end. The only comparable show I would say is The Newsroom, which I found slightly better, more so to do with the pacing and writing. But this is definitely in the same field.

Going into this I thought there was no way Succession could ever live up to all the hype surrounding it but then I watched it. It not only lives up to it but surpasses it in every way. This really is one of the best shows of all-time. I heard such great things about it and saw all the awards it's won but still put it off until recently. I can't believe how much I was missing out on, I binged the entire series within a week. I have to admit that you have to give it a few episodes before you really get into it because it starts off pretty slow but before you know it you'll be addicted. I can't say enough about this cast either, the entire cast is unbelievable, not a single bad actor on the entire show. Every actor/actress on the show have been nominated for their performances in this, thats unheard of for a show. Here's the list of all the actors/actresses that have been nominated and or won an Emmy for their performance: Kieran Culkin, Jeremy Strong, Brian Cox, Sarah Snook, Matthew Macfayden, Nicholas Braun, Alan Ruck, Alexander Skarsgård, James Cromwell, J. Smith-Cameron, Adrien Brody, Hope Davis, Sanaa Lathan, Cherry Jones, Harriet Walter, Hiam Abbass & Arian Moayed. That's ridiculous and unheard for any show. That's how good this show is, 17 different actors were nominated for an Emmy, almost all of them multiple times and in every season the show was on. Succession absolutely deserves all the awards it's won and more.

I actually enjoyed Succession but it's definitely a show that's not for everyone. The majority of the people I know end up loving up but there are those who don't like it too. You'll have to judge for yourself. What can you say about it that hasn't already been said? First off this show has won the Emmy for Best Drama every season it's been on and literally every major character has been nominated or won an Emmy for their work on this show. It's also one of the highest rated shows here so it's not only a hit with the critics but the fans love it too. Bottom line is this is one of the best shows ever created. It's one of the rare shows where every season is just as good as the others. There's no let down or weak season. This show is not for everyone though. If you are looking for action and a fast paced show then this isn't for you. What makes this series so special is the writing and acting. It will suck you into their world and won't let go. I can't recommend this show enough but again not everyone has is going to like it.
