Succession is the Gold Standard of Television writing and can also be considered amongst the greatest shows of all-time for the Class Audience! Be it the writing, acting, storytelling, character development - everything about this series is PERFECTION. Not a single bad episode in the whole series & the best thing was how every episode contributed to the show's story which is utterly gripping & entertaining to its core.
This show gives the best example of why "You should always keep business and family separate." It's Dark. Honest. Vindictive. Satirical & Hilarious all at the same time. The characters are deeply dislikable but that's what creates the charm of the show. It's brilliantly scripted, excellently acted, and undoubtedly one of the slickest shows on TV currently. The pace, the tension, the family dynamics, the dialogue between all of them, Locations, Cinematography, BGM, production value, it's all Pure Genius.
It also is extremely effective in making many larger societal statements about class, inequality, abuse, power structures, and familial influences. I really appreciated the depth of attention the writers gave to the characters, showing them from every possible angle. I am sure that by the end of the first season itself you will say it is one of the smartest, funniest, and the saddest of the shows you've ever seen.
Overall, This show is the definition of "For the classes, not the masses." I'm not at all surprised that it's hardly a big hit. But finally after winning each and every award in almost all the major categories in 2019-2020 it's totally a Deserving Masterpiece. Bear the first 3 episodes of S1 and you'll see the magic unfold. Definitely the best family drama I've seen since The Sopranos. Don't binge-watch. Take it slow. Let it sink. This is a show which needs to be sipped gracefully and enjoyed. Highly Recommend each one of you to watch this Show available on (Disney+ Hotstar Premium).
