Loved it but not everyone will
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.
Great show, must watch a few episodes to get into it.
I watched 1 episode; thought it was just okay and then didn't watch the next episode until maybe 2-4 weeks later. Then once I was on episode 3-5, I was absolutely hooked. Give this series a chance.
The show is great, you start to really care about the characters despite most of them having massive character flaws. In my opinion, 3/4 of the children are outright sociopaths (oldest son is the only halfway decent guy). Father is ruthless but you can't help but respect him for his accomplishments.
It gives an insight on how some of the 0.001% live. Very interesting and it will keep you entertained throughout the series!

I am the eldest boy!!!
I'm not sure I can say anything about this television series that hasn't been said. It really is on a completely different level than most shows. It took me awhile to really sit down and get into it - I thought I wouldn't like it or it wouldn't be for me but I was so wrong. You like business? This is for you. You like politics? This is for you. You like rich a-holes? This is for you. You like backstabbing? This is for you. You like relating to characters on a surface level about their family problems? This is for you. HBO continues to be at the forefront of delivering the highest quality of one hour television blocks. Every single person I've talked to about this show has a different favorite character and I think that speaks to how well written not only the show is but the characters as well. Just when you like them, you will hate them and the cycle repeats. Succession truly is a top 5 show of all time and I doubt we ever get anything like it again. "Information is like a bottle of fine wine. You store it, you hoard it, you save it for a special occasion and then you smash someone's f-king face in with it."
Stuck to the end
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.
Bravo.
Come back!
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.
