Succession

Peak motherfucking television. Words do not do it justice.

please! Please! I beg you to never turn your phone on or get distracted when watching this series - it’s not even an ask it’s a fucking command. The soundtrack - orgasmic, the script - SO FUCKING SMART, the characters - written so complex yet so hated that you end up hating that you’re rooting for some of them. Give it time to settle in your system and then you’ll become so addicted that you’re already playing the next opening credits before the episode ends.

This show is 100% incredible. Its ability to make you give a crap about the problems of these revolting human beings is truly astounding.
The humour is on point, the drama is heart-wrenching, the performances are all award-worthy, the script is very witty, very smartly written.
What are you doing if not watching this.

Midway through season 2 and the quality of this show can never be overemphasised. I’m usually gracious with these silly ratings, but when a show is this good I suddenly over critique and make sure it “earns” its score. But that’s because this show makes you feel uncomfortable. Especially Season 1, where you don’t know who’s who or what their agenda is, you can’t pinpoint who you like or who’s the John Snow and watch it play out as expected. Everything is just so well executed from the brilliant acting to the technical stuff with the annoying focus shifts.. all make it difficult not to be fully engrossed with the story.

Tom has to be one of the weirdest characters though. One minute you want to punch him, but then he’s hilarious in the next. Turning out to be the Phil Dunphy fan favourite.

One of the best ever made. From the beginning to the end. Real masterpiece in every aspect.

Lol most of these reviews don't understand the plot of the show. It's pretty good like The Newsroom was, I definitely recommend people who like succession to try The Newsroom

Succession will be looked back on as one of the greatest shows ever, or at least it should be. Each season just got better and better, building to an incredible final season that was just knockout. Probably the best example of the power of writing combined with perfect dialogue/line delivery. Every performance elevates an already near perfect script, every character is devastatingly and perfectly understood, the tone is an incredible blend of drama and dark comedy, and even the technical aspects as far as directing and camera work was so engaging. The first season may have taken a bit for me to warm up to, but as I said, it only got better and better and better. Also one of the best examples of giving us a show full of awful people yet somehow managing to make us care about and root for them based on our own preferences and taste, not because of any redeeming qualities as the finale so perfectly exemplified, but because watching these people and their disastrous relationships is just so engaging. Tense, thrilling, hilarious, sincere, and wickedly smart.

9.5 // Outstanding

W0W!!

This series is great TV . Brilliant writing. Marvellous characters that are spectacularly portrayed by incredible acting performances.

Clever dialogue. This hits the spot. Can not wait for season 4.

If you like this show, you should watch The Newsroom

Peak TV. Masterclass acting from all the cast. Camerawork and cinematography made it feel so real. Writing 10/10 (You can't make a Tomlette without breaking some Greggs).
